One of my older brothers is that way with social programs
I think there's a basis for some of them, tbh, it's just a question of whether you figure people can come about creating them organically
Mental health and childcare being two major ones
And two that the government frequently fucks up as well
My biggest issue is Food Stamps
My biggest issue is government monopolies beyond the absolute necessities
I get that I just think they need to be limited and regulated a bit more
Our provincial Auto Insurance company was found scamming people. Our transit company has gone bankrupt and is now trying to sell shitty merchandise. Our hospitals are stuffed full of people and the funding for medicare is going to run out if they don't fix shit (and they likely won't)
No ignore the problem and maybe it'll go away that's there strategy
The funny thing is the problem *is* about something going away
Boomer pop is going to ream our social programs as they leave the workforce
Which is probably why they've been pushing immigration
Jokes on then though because we get a metric fuckton of foreign buyers who make it too expensive to live here, and they don't live and work here themselves
The influx of migrants is what is being to do our welfare system in
Ours is the other way, not enough coming in to balance the books
And not enough babies being birthed
That whole having a family is a patriarchal construct shit?
Oh there's definitely a lot of commies here yeah
But I think there's more career women who never made the time/didn't want kids
Or people who have decided it's too financially/environmentally/whatever-irresponsible to reproduce
I'm in the same over population school of thought
I dunno how bad matt's experience on dating sites was, but there's a lot of casual dating/tinder tier hookup people and polyamorous couples and shit
We're not overpopulated in Canada by any stretch
There is actually a lot of that in the military
And I'd say the same is true of the states tbh
The US wastes a lot of resources because they're not worth the cost of exporting and there's nobody to use them within the country
Oh I know that's the way it is for the states but I'm still all for a plague to thin things out
That's probably the misanthropy talking, rather than pragmatism 👌
Sorry
I'm mostly taking the piss really
But yeah there's still plenty of Innawoods space in Leafland
Yeah but you're probably right plus I have a very dark world
Is love to live up there since I'm the outdoors type but I can't stand Trudeau or the extreme social justice leftist up there
Honestly I barely notice it on a day to day basis because most people keep to themselves
But there's occasional outbreaks, like that social justice newspaper people keep trying to hand out
That's a thing?
Which I promised myself I'd grab next time I saw them, so I could share its contents with people
I thought that was just a joke someone put up on reddit
Yeah there's usually like 4-6 people at some random station trying desperately to give away copies of this newspaper
Oh did someone post it?
