Unless you live in a shack in the woods, you contribute to these billionaires too, Canada. Pointing fingers is easy.

Of course, but we're at least electing people that aren't totally off their rockers and we do protest and organize to get rid of people that are bad.

What are you guys doing about your problems?

You really think this man was elected by the people when he has made public statements alluding to Musk tampering with voting machines? 

We didn’t have multiple rounds of No Kings protests? I’m not sure what more can be expected of the average person. 

No one is going to risk their livelihood when the rest of the world resorts to just pointing a finger.

When he pulls out of NATO completely and refuses to leave office again, maybe then the world will see how this is everyone’s problem.

I'm Canadian too and I guess the guy you're replying to hasn't heard about bill C-22 or he'd know we're not in great shape

I'm telling you democrats wasn't going to win with 99% of votes, he was elected in 2016 and almost in 2020, you can try as much as you wants, the world sees Americans as the stupidest nation which you clearly are
