As a Canadian I can tell you that politically everything wrong, or almost all wrong with the country is literally the Liberal Party’s fault. They have been in power for a decade, already.

All, or almost all of their policies have made the country worse. It is easy for idealogues out there to blame the conservatives but in reality the Libs pushed for all the things that broke the country.

From extreme immigration that increased crime, El Salvador is now safer than Toronto, to the price of housing, to making drugs more accessible via their Safe Supply program. That sounds good in make believe land but horrible in practice.

Which saved more “users’ lives” at the cost of increasing the number of overall drug addicts, everywhere. Same happened in Seattle and Cali, as well as in Portugal where this whole scheme was copied from.

You can tell by seeing the ratio increase of users and deaths in the provinces that pushed for this policy over the ones that didn’t.

Can’t even really blame the conservatives as the Libs and the NDP --which was Lefty but devolved to being Lib-Lite- created a collation as to bypass their vote in most cases. So they passed a lot of stuff easily and mostly on their own.

It is a mistake to not blame the Liberal party only because they have the word “Liberal” in their name. Trudeau alone was found guilty of 4 ethic violations, one including his family, so just straight up corruption. So, yes, we could blame the bad Covid handling and the NDP as well, if we want to nickpick. With the later now a shadow of its former self. The NDP leader sold out the party and the government, so he could be eligible for his fat government pension. He announced his retirement immediately after and lost his riding just after that. They got destroyed in the recent election, too.

Carney has already been got caught lying, a few times, saying one thing to English speakers and the 180° opposite to French speakers regarding infrastructure projects because he needed their votes and he just recycled a ton of the same people in government. There are other examples.

He ran as being an outsider when anyone with eyes knows that he is not. He is even the godfather of one of the kids of Freeland, the previous Deputy PM AND Finance Minister (who is now the Transportation Minister under him) who quit the job, the morning she was supposed to table their budget that was over $20 Billion over the number they had stated before, because she is a coward and was looking after her career first, along with 0 sense of real accountability. She quitting put us in a constitutional crisis and we went through not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 Finance ministers in 14-16 hours, including her. Then she ran for the leader of the Liberal party before losing to Carney, but as stated she is in the new Cabinet anyway.

We literally applauded an ex-Nazi SS soldier in parliament because the Libs wanted PR points and come off as pro-Ukraine but did 0 vetting on the guy. This was supposed to be done by the office of the PM. They are that incompetent and threw another guy, the Speaker of the House under the bus and forced him to quit, as to save face. Fucking embarrassing.

Their biggest selling point was, “we are not Conservatives.” Which is funny as the Libs literally copied a bunch of Con campaign/platform promises, rebranded them, and sold them as theirs. I am not a conservative but holy shit the Libs are so incompetent. Not really positive about the new guy, either. Once you get past the new paint job, it is just more of the same. He became the Leader of the Libs by decree of the party and paid about $250,000 to run, as he was never elected by anyone in the public or held a riding. Which is a first in our system.

He just got inserted. That is not very Liberal nor democratic.

The loss of Liberties was all Liberal policy too. They fear monger people and then remove liberties for “our” protection, of course. It is sad to see the country go down this fast.

Fair. I thought so too, but I wanted to be as close to the article in question. As to avoid any misunderstandings.

Yeah, I find this drive towards a 1984 dystopia concerning. Given that it comes equally from both, Right-wing and Left-wing governments. The UK is going insane and they lean right, and so is Germany and they lean very Left. Spain leans very left and look at what they are doing. Also, I sit corrected and it is not the president of Spain but the Prime Minister of Spain --which is worse-- as per my Telesur link regarding the WEF, people can still find the clip of his speech if they are interested.

I will update my previous post and correct myself, either way, he is a literal Socialist and he is the one that wants to eliminate online anonymity… For your protection, of course. ;-) LOL

Up here in Canada, the Liberal government passed amendments to 2 Laws during the pandemic, when they pushed for bogus Emergency Powers, just for a couple of days in which they sneaked these changes, that allows them to freeze people’s banks accounts on almost a whim, some people got their bank accounts frozen because they donated to a group that the Liberals did not like, despite not doing anything illegal. It was due to just wrong think.

It is insane but still most Canadians are not aware of these changes because the news media barely covered it. I happen to follow politics closely and read Bills and law for fun, so I know about them but I have yet to meet an average Canadian who is aware of this, unless they are into politics or study political science or something akin to it.

I mean, I have lived in 3rd world countries with better legal protections than what Canada is turning into under the Liberal party. I say that as someone who leans Left.

Where did I get it? I literally said where, there is a Davos presentation he did. Didn’t I say that? I did not say that it was debate, it was something that he was pushing for in his speech. Find the video.

With that said, it is not like this is new. You are just unaware. Example:

https://www.wired.com/story/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law/

"The source of the document declined to comment and requested anonymity because they were not authorized to share it.

“It is shocking to me to see Spain state outright that there should be legislation prohibiting EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption,” says Riana Pfefferkorn, a research scholar at Stanford University’s Internet Observatory in California who reviewed the document at WIRED’s request. “This document has many of the hallmarks of the eternal debate over encryption.”__**"

Also you are right, he also want so remove anonymity… for your protection, of course.

Funny enough, you are looking at the countries with the most homogeneity and lesser levels of multiculturalism per capita. In this case the most white countries, like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, et al.
They all have what you are looking for. However, many of there are either fairly expensive, have less than optimal weather or have fairly strict laws, unless you are an EU member or want to ask for asylum, political or otherwise.

Like other have mentioned, at a recent WEF meeting, at DAVOS earlier in the year, the President of Spain stated that he wanted to ban encryption, or have access to encrypted services… Why? For your protection, obviously. Do a search on Youtube and you will find the video. Keep in mind the presentation is fairly long. You may be able to find a clip of it.

The UK and Germany have gone down the drain when it comes to privacy laws and they are heading straight into Big Brother or 1984 territory. No joke. So those should be avoided.

Like other have said, Uruguay and Argentina are pretty good options albeit both Argentina and Chile are not doing too well economically for now. But I do have a friend who is moving to Argentina, albeit he is fluent in Spanish so for him it won’t be hard.

Other possible options are Australia but if you think owning a home is hard in the USA, then you have seen nothing yet in Australia. New Zealand is also a good option, too although like some other countries at the top of the list, moving there can be a tad difficult Re: Red tape, albeit it is a bit easier if you are part of the Common Wealth, which I assume you are not.

Correction: Not the Spanish President, but the Spanish Prime Minister. as my links below. My bad.
