Trump administration insiders are furious over reporting that the U.S. Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, will no longer classify the swastika as a symbol of "hate."According to the Washington Post, the branch of military service has decided that swastikas and nooses ...
It would be nice if Canadians would also stop voting for politicians who lead Canada in the same direction as the USA. We need to turn left, not right.

I wish Canadians would realise they are voting for the same policies, but all the newspapers are owned by a Republican American, and they dont know.
I’ve voted against conservatives in every election for 25 years and not once had the person I voted for won.
I’m WELL aware but feel absolutely powerless to do anything about it and since I’m not a god damned millionaire or even own my own business, no one gives a flying fuck about my opinions. And it’s always the conservative party that wins.

Fair Vote Canada works hard against just that. That exactly. Making each and every vote matter in the legislature.
They work for very popular prortional representation.

In the states you’ll have to find a state organization. Many states looking. Alaska put in a runoff system and successfully removed a famous unrepresentative pol.

You’re literally claiming the opposite of what Fairvote Canada does.
Thank you, I’ll take a look.
When JT win and promised FPTP would end, then IMMEDIATELY turned 180 on it was my last straw of hope. Now my vote just feels like an absolute waste and a kick in the nuts. But I’ll keep voting, I don’t even know why but I recognize it as the absolute least of effort a citizen should do if they want to be a part of the place they belong.
It just sucks how much money matters more than anything else
@Jarix
We must insist on proportional voting.
Be nice if someone could offer an actual choice.
When you you hit rock bottom at America’s level we’ll have an ice cold imported beer ready for you and you can pull up a chair with us around the destructive bonfire immolating western civilization. We’ve got hot dogs and everything. I know you dont love us right now but in a weird twist Americans are still big fans of Canada.
I think I read that American approval of Canadians is 94% while simultaneously two thirds of Canadians not only dont trust the US but feel like they can never trust us again.
We can’t stop voting for conservatives to stop the Conservatives™ from getting power. We’re dumb as hell for that.
