This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

✓ Canada’s per-capita productivity ranks among the highest in the world, though this is masked by US corporate owners’ use of transfer and ‘management’ fees to eliminate reported Canadian profits (and avoid paying any Canadian taxes)

Their economy is the biggest potemkin economy ive ever seen , all the metrics are skewed by pure bulllshit financialization and real estate ponzi with everyone selling houses back and forth to each other on crazy leverage with adjustable rate mortgages, its like 2007 there for the past 17 years without the big crash to bring the thing down, they just keep legislating ways to keep it going.

✓ protesting in Canada is mostly legal, though this freedom is being threatened ✓ the level of surveillance of citizen activity and behaviour remains tolerable, though this is changing, especially surveillance by foreign corporations and governments

bullshit they attacked and even seized and froze the bank accounts of the trucker protestors not that long ago. they have less freedom than the usa by a huge margin. ottawa is police state at the lightest protest they give bullshit charges to anyone present if they can find anything at all, like you forgot to replace your license plate bulb or have a old empty beer can near you

✓ we are extraordinarily privileged to be free from the imminent threat of war or invasion

canada government is the occupation , its a colony of britain , with an absolutely miserable underclass of indigenous people. the canadian gov is worse than the usa they just have better PR.

They are literally razing childrens playgrounds to install homeless encampments where they burn mostly plastic to stay warm it is insane.
