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.

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.

Freedom.
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?

constantly threatened by a right wing party, who has used voter suppression to always win most of the time, and DEMS who are also DINOs , on the right but is elected as a "left" president, but votes with the gop on many things. which is why they dont immediately repeal things like tax cuts, or patriot act, or right now unlikely to repeal anything when palintir finishes all thier databases of individuals in the us. also no healthcare, because Ds would lose thier bargaining chip into getting elected in the future, so its just stringing voters along. also billionaires have significant sway us policy. when both parties are right wing, one is center right but the other is on far right, its very hard to make progress here.
always dealing with how white people behave around POC groups, if you're a pOC some caucasian groups will always give you some wierd vibes, like give you a nasty stare, or immediately try to quickly walk away. also dealing with reverse white flight.

I do believe the reputational damage caused by the orange one might be one of the things. That and obvious tariff issues. Hopefully it's temporary , or you have people who just don't care.
