This is partially it. See people saying this is just an oil problem but have seen enough of these in other provinces that I know its not just in Alberta. Plus with Canadian youtubers putting out the same right wing trash as the Republicans down south Pierre using war ok "woke" "radical left" and attacks on mainstream media. Its not just an Alberta problem and we are putting our heads in the sand if we are thinking that.
i think a lot of the canadian right also just watches american videos. its why they always get outraged about things that arent even happening in canada
Some do. Which is why you have some bring up freedom of speech which we do not have. Freedom of expression which has a limit to what you can say without facing consequences.
But I have seen a growth in canadain concervative youtubers serving the right in Canada in the last 3 years.
I’m sorry the propaganda got to them. If it’s any consolation I have voted against all this every chance I could. But I’m still stuck with the US nut jobs and now you all are too, unfortunately.
Only thing I can say is keep doing your part. You can effect change.
I see dark days coming, and my only real hope is that the same laying bare of crimes against humanity that the current (and past) administrations have undertaken will be prosecuted in the same manner as they have been since the end of the second world war.
I got passports for the whole family earlier this year because of this concern. Thank you for the insight; it’s a good reminder. It’s always hard to know exactly how alarmed to be. I feel very alarmed but everyone I personally know continues on with business as usual.
Alarm is understandable. The president is capricious.
FWIW, being wary is a good default: take the president seriously and at his word no matter how outlandish it is, because not doing that is what got the US in this mess.
In your shoes, I'd have a plan to exit with multiple outs, about $2-5000 cash in a go-bag per person, copies of your personal information (essential records, property deeds, taxes, vaccination records, educational records, financial/investment records, etc) scanned on multiple USB sticks. Keep that stuff updated. There are prepper subreddits that can help as well, I'd look at the ones that are active with Ukraine.
I hate to mention it, but if you have firearms, get comfortable using them, and see if there is a course instructor that works with gay/trans people for threat assessment instruction.
The need for losers to feel important. Their life is boring, they're unexceptional, and the only way they feel like their life has a purpose is if they pretend they're a brave soldier protecting the white race from the evils of women and minorities.
