…are you joking right now?

Healthcare
Getting shot anywhere you go
Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.
Trust me, we worry about shelter and food and electricity
Have you seen Canadian house prices?
Canada has some of the least affordable cities in North America but it also has some of the most affordable cities. If you are able to move then Canada has some very affordable options. But I appreciate that the ability to move is a luxury that many folks don’t have because of circumstances like family commitments.
No but in my neighborhood it’s 3.5kUSD/month for a one bedroom studio
Ay, you live in Boston too?
Aw shit I mean uhhhhh no?
Ah yeah, of course not. Who would live in a hellscape where having an apartment to yourself is a fantasy?
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.
The chance of a nationwide maple-syrup shortage.
Surprise medical bills; random shootings; 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.
Wait really lol? Idk how this could legally have happened? And why isnt this across the news (nobody is allowed to say some degree of “but that’s what they want you to think”) lol

Yeah, I don’t think it got a lot of coverage.
Wtf lol

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.
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.
Literally the poverty line
I think we might need a book to answer that. A comment seems insufficient.
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)
Freedom.
To me it lately sounds like Canadians do need to worry a bit about “freedom” being brought to them.
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.
Freedom costs a buck oh five
Starting a war, forgetting your gun somewhere and only having your spare one to work with, making the payment on your medical bills, remembering if the McRib is back, worrying that the exploited people who did all the things you don’t feel like doing will be deported, and forgetting to tell the President “thank you” every day as a tribute to their brilliant leadership.
Medical bills and insurance.
Can confirm. You never know if the standard procedure will cost couple of hundred or thousands.
Joining over half a million homeless feral humans
