The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LOLOLOL.
For years, Canada has been held up as one of the world's utopias, with superior everything to the bumpkin, stupid United States. So loads 'o libs said "I'm moving to Canada!" and actually did it.

How's this working out for them?

Not very well.

Canada, according the to the IMF, is dead last in GDP per capita growth for the last 10 years or so. In fact, they've been passed up by...Alabama. (Which is a hilarious post in and of itself)

At any rate. libs are finding that the grass isn't greener up north:

X (Twitter): Hon. Vickie Paladino on X: "In one video, this leftist 'scholar of the far right' who 'fled' the United States (for completely imaginary rea

In one video, this leftist 'scholar of the far right' who 'fled' the United States (for completely imaginary reasons) has admitted:

- The cost of living crisis is worse in Canada
- The housing crisis is worse in Canada
- Non-citizens should not be entitled to free healthcare
- She cannot get health care without paying for it
- She and her partner cannot survive unless people give them a place to live for free

Just pure cinema.

Let's also note that Canada is where progressives have run everything for decades now. They're the model government American leftists point to as an example of how to do things right. Yet it's even less affordable and more difficult to survive than the United States.

Yet all of this STILL won't give them a single moment of pause to reconsider their commitment to an ideology that has LITERALLY NEVER WORKED. Everywhere these people are in charge is more expensive, more dangerous, less free, and wildly dysfunctional. But they just keep on believing.


Good luck!
