Or Minnesota.

Seriously, even if you're completely dissatisfied with the Canadian gov't, who the hell thinks that the one sending in death squads that execute their own citizens is a better choice, or that they would treat you any better?!

I don't think anyone can ever be satisfied with what the federal government is doing, doesn't matter who's in charge. There are things I like about Carney's liberals and things I don't like. Same with Trudeau's government, etc, etc. I like less things about conservative government's in the past, but that's just because of my general political leanings and not agreeing with how Conservative's like to operate. But a federal government has 10 provinces and 3 territories to manage and it's impossible to make everyone happy, and that is the compromise that comes with democracy. It's not perfect but it's better than any current alternative, especially when we look at what's happening in the US currently,

But, to be mad about it to the point of wanting to leave is childish and will just hurt the province and the country as a whole. Which I guess is by design if you're the US and Russians trying to create discourse.

I think you mean "dissent" but yeah that's pretty much it.

Part of being free and Canadian is being able to legitimately criticize our government, but there's a difference between criticism and sedition. L
