Canada is great. I love it. The $1 coins are called Loonies. The $2 coins are called Toonies. They don\u2019t use pennies, just round up or down. The healthcare situation is real. People here go to the doctor when they need to. They just go and get fixed and pay a small amount. People pay more in taxes, but it feels so much more stable. The quality of life feels much higher. I feel like our whole life they\u2019ve scared us (in the states) with this idea that taking care of ourselves and our people is some sort of psycho socialist plot to bring in a dictator or whatever, but it looks like that\u2019s already happening anyway. Point is, loonies and toonies. The people here are so much less aggressive. I don\u2019t mention politics here anymore, but guys… Trump is not good at this. The country is on the verge of collapse? War? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s bad. I know that some of you think he\u2019s honestly some sort of hero who is taking out dark forces, but seriously. How can you anyone believe anything he\u2019s ever said? I am voting with absentee mail, after September 18th. I\u2019m hoping that the GOP loses the senate. Im just over this. If you could see how Canada has been handling covid, vs the states. The USA! We grew up in a nation that told us we are #1! We can beat any other nation at anything. Look around now. The nation isn\u2019t functioning. It\u2019s not working. You can\u2019t function without checks and balances. Listen, let the laws and rules work both way. Keep everyone in check. The state of the nation is currently a total world wide embarrassment. It hurts. I really just wanted to talk about loonies but, I\u2019ve got a lot of feelings that have been bottling up and I\u2019m just over it. I know a lot of people live to argue and debate, but file this under rant\/vent. The truth is, If Trump cared about other humans, he wouldn\u2019t have stole peoples money pretending to be a course that could help people get ahead. It was pure theft, they plead out and paid. If he was this Q anon hero playing 4-D chess, he wouldn\u2019t have stole from charity. He\u2019s just another American con man in a suit. He\u2019s just another guy with his foot on our throats. I\u2019m ready for him to be confined to the pages of history books. This is one non-college educated white guy who isn\u2019t part of the 66%.<\/p>\n
