I knew this even before Covid because he's been ranting about "lefties" and posting really wacky theories about the economy and health care for years on here. The one consistent theme is he's selfish as hell always framing a topic as a what's in it for him fashion. Covid no different really. The "lefties" thing is like a disease on here with numerous American posters; they can't seem to understand how irrelevant their "lefties vs righties" view of the world is in Canada.
When I first came across him...
Didn't know anything about his Lefties rants until he started to remind me of someone named smallfil.
- The day I put jem on ignore...I didn't announce it for awhile. Strangely, smallfil put me on ignore almost the same day even though him and I don't have any conversations. Yet, I never cried about it like jem did when I put him on ignore.
That's when I made sure that he understood here in Canada...the "lefties vs righties" arguments are irrelevant with most people here in Québec and maybe in Canada itself because there's a lot of different political parties.
To this day, I still can not understand this "left versus right" mentality and I grew up in the U.S...maybe its because I've been in Canada too long and/or enjoy the many different political parties.
The way the United States made a global health crisis a political argument since the beginning of the Pandemic...I knew as neighboring countries...easy border crossings...
- Both countries are going to be fuck with Covid.
Yet, I was hoping Canada would be able to distance itself from the consequences of that political rhetoric. Regardless, I'm very happy here in Canada and making it my primary residence while the United States is my secondary residence instead of the other way around...
Same as a poll done of Canadians with 2nd homes in the United States. Most of them keep Canada as their
primary residence and view the United States as a secondary home. I grew up in the United States and when I was hospitalized in 2016...my family in the United States understood for the first time why I moved to Canada when they saw my treatment here in Canada when I was in a coma after being medivac from France to Québec.
I have relatives in South Dakota, Kentucky and Arizona...all traditionally red states with my mother residing in downtown Chicago along the waterfront.
Relatives that are now thinking about relocating to Canada after seeing how a global health crisis became
political bullshit in the United States...costing +100k lives to be lost that should have never died (killed by the
political bullshit and
misinformation / conspiracy theory campaign).
I've been lucky so far...no loved ones lost to Covid and every single one of them understands the science and importance of face mask wearing to protect those around them. I say lucky because my relatives are mainly Indigenous Americans and French...very vulnerable to Covid.
