A cautionary tale for Canada (www.theguardian.com)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca to c/canada@lemmy.ca
 

An interesting article about the extreme right in the US and how they are not interested in governing or working for the people but are focused instead on tearing apart the US government, taking away rights and freedoms, and turning the country into a christofascist dictatorship with oligarchs in charge.

When we look at the now extreme Canadian right, with soaring food prices and housing prices and a failing healthcare system and faltering public education that is now focused on pronouns and hurting the most vulnerable Canadian children we cannot help but draw parallels. They don't have a platform other than TrUdEaU bAd, pronouns, drag queens, and we're going to fix everything, no we don't have a plan, no we can't tell you how, just trust us.

These people are focused on tearing apart the polices and services that make Canada among the best countries in the world to live in. Their base seethes with resentment about being made to feel ignorant, racist, and intolerance and that seething resentment is manipulated into fear, anger, and hatred toward those who make them feel bad about themselves.

We need to wake up and vote down this nonsense.

Did you write this commentary? I lost count of the wrong words and other nonsense.

4 bad autocorrects and a couple of spelling mistakes. It's fixed now. Let me know if you still see something wrong.

Oh, the comment? Yes, I wrote that. I was swyping on my phone and didn't proofread. I'll go back and do that now. Sorry.
