John, Steve... I am completely ignorant of the "goings on' in Canada. The only thing I know is Canada only has 6% the population of the US. So, obviously, stats are skewed.

However, being the deductive sort, and having absolutely no faith in "fake media", I am sincerely and intensely curious about how others live.

(I should probably preface this by admitting... Ya'll have driven me to drink. I've had three dirty vodka martinis and am feeling quite... contentious)

Questions;
1- How many homicides have there been in the past three years in Canada?
2- Do you really believe in Trudeau's vision of the future?
3- Do you honestly have any faith in "YOUR" news media?

With regard to question #1 please bear in mind the vast population difference, and your sudden statistical increase in crime... just like all other countries....

Math, like "free will", is certainly a B!t(H!

Canada has approx. 11% the population of US or 37 million+-people....We average about 700-800 homicides per year...which is considered a rare occurrence... with the 11% ratio, the US should average about 7000 to 8000 a year.....I live about 50 miles from the worst mass murder in the history of our country..22 in Nova Scotia in April 2020 over 2days

I personally don't pay attention to any politicians vision of the future, it has no impact on me personally..IMO they are political statements needed to be made to get elected...it makes no difference who is elected in Canada, IMO, because nothing really changes..we are a left of centre country (backed up by facts) and have been for over 100 years...when Canadians get tired of Libs after 10-15 years they elect the Cons for a few years (in some cases months) and then re=elect Libs for another 10 to 15 years (nice gig if you can get it) LOL...did you have in mind any particular vision Trudeau might have stated when you asked the question?

I very much have faith in the media both on the left and right...keep in mind because the world has shrunk, and global media is only a click away so I don't really talk in terms of "OUR NEWS MEDIA" I would watch as much news/commentary from the US as I would from Canada...and I am a regular contributor, with my own personal opinions, on a local radio talk show in Halifax so I do get directly involved...in fact, get ready for this JAPOV....I recently defended Trump on a show about the SVB bank collapse in the US where people were blaming his signing the banking deregulation bill for its collapse..I said they were full of crap...I was called in back in the 1980's to oversee the closure of a small bank in Canada so I had a pretty good knowledge of what happened to SVB and deregulation had nothing to do with it....Biden also got caught with his pants down on this one..the feds messed up...that IMO is why he guaranteed 100% of the bank deposits...he just wants this mess to go away...
