Went to a dinner last night and caught up with some friends. We talked a bit of politics for the first time in a while, and it really hit me how radical I must seem to them, though I genuinely don’t understand why.
It’s surreal how their opinions align almost word-for-word with what you’d read in corporate media.
"Oh, saving $100 million here and there is just a drop in the bucket for the US, it doesn’t even matter."
"The U.S. is such a mess. They have 18- to 20-year-olds working for DOGE. They have no experience in anything, and no one elected them."
"It’s crazy how fast fascism can take hold. They're defunding the government and gutting a bunch of regulations."
And these are people living in Alberta, the so-called Texas of Canada. Honestly, it makes me pretty bearish on Canada’s future.
