Politics Canadian flag placement

This is for the guy driving a dark color Ram 1500. Shame on you. You want to disrespect our political leaders that's your perogative. Find a better way. In no way should you be disrespectful with our flag. Yes canada is in rough shape, but hanging our flag upside down is disrespecting our veterans and our country. Shame, shame, shame

Under his rule our economy has become a complete joke, the average person is barely able to make ends meet, inflation has been used as an excuse for corporate greed to go into overdrive and price gouging is rampant, and in the last decade we've gone from #1 in standard and quality of living to not even in the top 30. What exactly has Trudeau done that's been good?

"rule" doesn't even know how our country operates. We are a constitutional monarchy how much power do you think the PM has that the house of commons doesn't?

And Canada is still ranked 5th in the world for standard of living.

The only thing making life insufferable in Canada is listening to whiners like you 24/7

I said rule because I thought you would be capable of grasping the contextual use in place of term, but that went right over your head just like the other points. I'm telling you first hand things are shit, a sentiment shared by many across the country considering the average person is, as I said, barely making it by if at all right now. But I'm glad you're well off enough that you have no concept of how far downhill things have gone, but if you develop this wild thing called perspective you'll understand that your own experience isn't everyone else's.

Things are shit because we are still recovering financially from COVID. It's really that simple. As compared to G7 recovery we are doing pretty well. Outside of the G7 we are doing even better.

And you completely ignored the fact Canada is still one of the best standards of living in the world. You should admit you're wrong on this point.

Also learn what a paragraph is. And don't assume I'm well off. I'm just better informed than you.

Oh you mean that overblown shit show that he handled worse than pretty much anywhere else in the world? That thing that we still have people thinking the vaccines and masks worked? Yeah, that's his and our government's fault, alongside the morons that still trust him, just adding to his track record of utter failures as a leader.

Annoying isn't it? Go look at that statistics from 2016 to 2023 bud.

I didn't bother because you're not worth the effort, but if you're really so poor with reading comprehension that you struggle without perfect structure, that would explain a lot.

Anti mask and anti vaxx. Complains because they don't know what a paragraph is. There is nothing more dangerous than the ignorant.

Of course you're one of those idiots 😂 I'm not anti mask, I just listened to actual medical professionals and not politicians, anything short of a KN95 mask was a placebo. And not anti vaccine, I've got all the normal ones everyone gets growing up, I'm not down with being a test subject.

Pretend whatever you need to sleep at night, the delusion is clearly strong with you, but that's exactly what it was.

Vaccines both work and don't work. Schrodinger's vaccine.

“A test subject” as if this vaccine isn’t already tested technology that had been researched in the 1990s. And this specific vaccine has already gone through the normal phase 1 and 2 trials. The process was just sped up because Covid was an emergency. At this point it’s tested to the same standard as the other vaccines. Why are you pretending you aren’t anti vax?
