What is going on in Canada?

I've been watching our neighbor to the north for a while now and I don't like the way it's going. There's an angry, reactionary, populist infection spreading rapidly. I'd long thought of defecting to Canada, or at least fleeing the USA to settle there but it no longer looks as inviting as it did twenty years ago. I used to own a small chunk of land there with a hunting camp. After paying taxes for the past fifty years I gifted it to the Peskotomuhkati Nation last spring.

They do seem to be as screwed up as we.

Too bad that. I always thought they were step above us.

Back in the early '80s, I met an entrepreneurial type of fellow who had just bought some property in my community and wanted to develop a dried fish business. He knew an engineer in Ottawa who had developed a new system for processing and drying fish and he invited me to go up there to meet the man and get ideas on what we'd have to do to work up a proposal and sell it to potential investors back in Maine.

We left in the dark of the early morning and headed north, through the back country and crossed into Quebec and then headed west, through Montreal, and finally arriving in Ottawa where we met an old friend of his who was kindly putting us up for two nights. Late that afternoon she took us on a little tour of the city. The city was cosmopolitan, filled with people of all nationalities. She asked if we wanted to see the Prime Minister's official residence and then drove us right up to the front door, guarded by two Mounties. She then drove us downtown and pointed out a luncheonette where the PM often ate. And then, even better, she pointed out Pierre Trudeau himself who was seated right there at his customary table. So unlike the USA...

Our negative energy and ridiculous demands have been a terrible influence on Canada. Back during the truck strikes Canadians were complaining about their 2nd Amendment rights. They don't have an American constitution with permission to own 100's of guns, they are becoming brainwashed by our dimwitted nutcases who believe Jesus Christ founded the USA.

He didn 't?!
