        Having moved from one to the other

        • Health insurance (it's not perfect but it's something)
        • Random shootings (they still happen but are not as endemic)
        • Corn syrup in literally every food
        • Having clean streets (particularly in cities)

          Whether or not weed is legal in their state.

          Whether or not the government is going to be shut down that year.

              Can confirm. You never know if the standard procedure will cost couple of hundred or thousands.

                  a fascist dictator leading the country; the complete and entire erosion of the rule of law

                  It's more relevant in the states right now, but this is something we should all worry about all the time.

                  To clarify for anyone who missed it:

                  Trump made a law that states that the president of the US is above the law.

                  This means that, even after the next election, he could remain president, since the laws that prevent this don’t apply to him. He could also just straight up shoot one in the streets and wouldn’t be able to be punished.

                        Yep, we're free to pay up and fall in line, or fuck off and die. That's the choice. Also for too many there's no choice, you get both.

                            Yes. I was able to fake being Irish for a bit to a group of English folk. (It was just an alcohol induced joke at the time, s'all. They were either a few pints in or I did really well. Dunno.)

                            People are just people and there is probably a word or phrase for "gullible" in most languages.

                                A friend in the US told me: I cannot work more hours because I need to keep my income at specific range to be able to qualify for provisional or federal medical insurance.

                                This is so fucked up.

                                  To me it lately sounds like Canadians do need to worry a bit about "freedom" being brought to them.

                                      Being stuck in a shitty job, because you now have a medical condition, and the insurance of the job you want refuses to cover you.

                                          I know Carney's not even close to as bad as Trump but he literally just called for a "Zionist Palestine"

                                          Also, have you ever heard of Doug and Rob Ford?
