About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.

Unfortunately there's a segment of Canadians that have been exposed to the same brain rot social media as our Southern Cousins that would very much like to see Trump in power even in our country.

They often confuse American rights/amendments with Canadian and think they are interchangeable between the countries.

It's a shame as we use to be proud of what made us same but also different. It's an amazing lesson on the powers of social media and it shows how far behind we are compared to the Russians and the Chinese who are using it to their advantage within our countries. It's child's play for them now...

I hear it's not a lot of fun with the Provincial Government being in on the ground floor of this stuff especially when it comes to ending alternative power generation, not allowing health care professionals refer to vaccines and what they are for publically, and I'm sure the list goes on from there which is fun to endure.

I was referring to my local redneck relations and friends in BC.
