@adammockler A fact check, for you, when people claim things were great before income taxes ... Back then, the property tax covered all property, not just real estate. It was a wealth tax, that taxed real estate, stocks, money on hand ... almost everything of value that someone owned.

Maybe he, or his friends, were parroting Jordan Peterson's fearmongering that people could get fired for mistakenly using the incorrect pronoun, because of SJWs and political correctness being taken too far. What Peterson followers don't realize is that Peterson's criticism of the Canadian law was that it used Ontario provincial law wording ... a provincial law Peterson had been living and working under for years. It wasn't the only province that had such a law either. Yet, Peterson had zero examples of anyone actually being fired for mistakenly using the wrong pronoun, in any of those provinces, over all the years the laws were in effect.

@adammockler Hi Adam. Some MAGA, in another thread, tried praising him for his 2020 OPEC deal. Maybe do a bit reminding people what that deal actually was ... "President Donald Trump said the United States would cut its oil production to assist Mexico in keeping alive a deal between OPEC and other oil-producing countries to boost global oil prices." "cut its oil production" ... "to boost global oil prices" Maybe also remind them that domestic oil has been selling at the global market price since Reagan deregulated domestic oil way back in 1981.

According to Jimmy, a Trump presidency was "for sure" going to lead to progressive wave that would take the house and senate, in 2018, and the presidency, in 2020. Every one of his predictions were wrong. And, not voting Biden, in the general, would have given everyone another term of Trump. How would that have been better?

@realchris Canada's long term unemployment average is 7.5%. Things are currently below average.

@realchris The OECD uses an across the board 15-64 age range, for all countries, for direct comparison. Canada is 15th, at 74.7% employed. The US is 26th, at 70.5% employed. The OECD average is 68.5% employed. So, yeah, it's simply the case that more non employed Canadians look for jobs than non employed Americans.
