  8.  @HWEspana  But those people are just using Quebec as a stepping stone to get to Toronto and Vancouver.

  13. In Venezuela's case, it's government-imposed starvation. Not that far off from a lot communist regimes of the past.

  14. Compassion for what? The people pretty much got what they voted for, and now want to cry about the results upon finding it too unbearable to live with.

  15.  @mariannedooley9877  You need not look any further than the African-American community for a prime example of what you're talking about.

  16.  @sizanogreen  Compassion? Or virtue-signalling.

  18. @Lovebombs ROFL.
    1
  19. Exactly.

  20. Birth control is the least of its issues. Venezuela's #1 issue is the Maduro government.

  21. And cheap foreign labor.

  22. Canada has already done that.
    1
  23. But in all fairness, most voters are not that bright.
    1
  24. Pretty much.

  25. True. But to many people, Toronto and Vancouver are the only Canadian places worth living in as they won't consider anywhere else.

  26. No. Try mismanagement, corruption and good old-fashioned socialists being socialists.
    1
  27.  @jokerofmorocco  Like Jean-Bedel Bokassa of the CAR and Francisco Macias Nguema of Equatorial Guinea.
    1
  28. But America has roughly 10x Venezuela's population.
    1
  29. The US done nothing to the Guyanas. And Guyana didn't need outside interference for its socialist experiment to fail.
    1
  30. Namely Party bureaucrats.

  31. Alongside his predecessor's daughter, Maria Gabriela Chavez.

  35. Canada is not a socialist country. Sorry!
    1
  36.  @nemo320  No. Venezuela is functionally socialist. And its leader sells resources to Russia, Cuba and China.
    1
  37.  @AdaireBlanche  For all of its faults, the system you're currently living under still beats what North Korea has which is perpetual deprivation and regression
    1
  38. Why don't you help out? Rich people owe Venezuela nothing.
    1
  39. Does that include you?
    1
  40. <successful socialist country> Like? And capitalist welfare states like Sweden doesn't count.

  42. Coupled with low supply.

  43. The same people that voted for said rulers that in turn made their lives a living hell?

  44. Bureaucracy and not enough educated and killed people to do much with them.
    1
  45.  @kanoraguy  Try public transit for one as they're next to non-existent in smaller cities and towns.
    1
  46. That's not saying much since Pyongyang = Potemkin Village.
    1
  47. Maduro.
    1
  48. But that would be racist and xenophobic. LOL.
    1
  49. Yes we still would have hunger and poverty issues. All the money in the world can't fix stupid and ignorant. There's a reason why many lottery-winners go back to being broke in a month.

  50.  @Bruh-mg5ff  And how much of that starvation under capitalism was due to state expropriation of land as consistently found in North Korea, China, Cambodia and the old USSR?
