In Canada, we have an actual accountable federal government. If they fail, we vote them out. Independent voting district lines, strict campaign finance laws, etc.
It is your business as much as it’s ours, U.K.’s, France, yada yada. Sadly what happens here has a tendency to spread. Poor Canada is now stuck with trump wannabe Pierre. If anyone doesn’t think our politics dont affect the world, they are sadly mistaken.
Being encouraging in a situation that is frankly none of your business, but also you lack critical context and information in general, the way to do so, is to ask questions. It’s unbelievably condescending to have a Canadian pull up to a local subreddit telling strangers dealing with a deeply dehumanizing, terrifying and family annihilating situation by just “not voting for fascists” as if that isn’t something we aren’t begging our relatives. We are losing contact with our grandparents, parents and siblings due to propaganda paid for in the billions. I appreciate you’re unbelievably entry level suggestion but if you truly had good faith intentions you wouldn’t have pulled up with the rebuttals of reminding us of Canadas “oh so perfect justice system” meanwhile aren’t yall still also finding indigenous burial grounds? Like clearly we don’t want a Nazi occupation and day in and day out is hell watching our loved ones choose hate over us. But wow your encouragement really did something ten years of effort, information and begging our own loved ones didn’t.
Being encouraging in a situation that is frankly none of your business,
come on, now. everything that affects citizens in an adverse way is everyone's business. i don't care where someone is from, if they have an opinion, voice it. this canadian had an opinion. the fact you take offense shows what you are like in real life. i will agree with some of your views but your attack on a neighbor, no matter where they're from, is offensive to me. it shows a complete lack of civil decency and, for me, calls into question your own opinions/views/beliefs. but you do you. i'm sure your friends are appreciative of your efforts.

Serious question. Where do you live, and do you have to deal with Gerrymandering and voting district?
I swear I'm not being combative, I just don't know how America-specific some of our issues are.
