It breaks my heart to see what has befallen Canuckistan and I have no desire to revisit that economic corpse to have my nose rubbed in what it's become. Let JoHoMo cheer its demise. At least he knows they'll execute him through lethal injection when even he cannot stomach the collapse any longer.Joe is in his seventies and has no stake in Canada's future.

Fuxake, Canada could have been something more than merely the next "real socialism hasn't been tried yet" bucket of Fail.

- Today at 10:23:38 AMQuote from: . on Today at 08:32:24 AMDamn Shen, that's horrible. I used to live a two minute walk from Bank and Somerset (the intersection seen at 11 minutes 26 seconds), the Independent was my local grocery store. Even when I moved into the area nearly fifteen years ago the warning signs were there that shit was getting real bad. For instance, the three story red brick building opposite the intersection was unoccupied, being little more than a facade after a Jewish Stocktake* gutted the place previously. Very obvious when you walked up the laneway behind it; there is literally no building behind the facia that you see in the video. It's been that way since Harper's time in office, maybe even Chretien's, I'm not sure.I live in Barrie and I do not know Ottawa. Toronto is a write-off. Even other big cities in Southern cities like London, Hamilton, Kitchener and Windsor are too. This will only get worse with Carney's ICE car ban in nine years. Goodbye auto sector jobs.
A little further along that side of Bank Street and you get to Barrymores. Once the venue a lot of internationally known name acts would play when they passed through Ottawa, it had long closed by the time I had arrived (though they did reopen while I was there, albeit for burlesque shows on an infrequent basis with part of the building converted to a sex toy and fetishwear shop. And for what it's worth, that was before Truedeaup came to power.
I left Canada a little over five years ago now. I still recognise a good many of the places that guy visited on his drive through Gatineau, Hull and Ottawa and it's definitely gotten a lot worse in my absence. I don't think I could ever return - too heartbreaking to see the rot spreading through its core. I certainly wouldn't bother to set up a small business in the area; I recognised only a handful of businesses that weren't big names on his crawl down Bank Street for instance, the others are simply gone, replaced with an ever shrinking entourage of hopefuls that will likely be bankrupt of defunct in 12 months time.
Depressing. At least I got to see it before it went to total shit I guess.

* - Jewish Stocktake.... a colloquial reference for a deliberate arson attempt aimed at collecting insurance. Certainly the owner of the building was dragging his feet on renovating and letting out the space for business use, it was more economical for him to write it off as a tax loss each year instead.

The signs of Canada's decay are all around. Soaring crime rates, rampant drug use, mass homelessness/poverty, inability to get ahead, and government crackdowns on liberty/internet.Shen.
It's a Good Country.
Lokmar knows it too!
I live in a first world nation that makes your country look like some African toilet. I could never live in Canada again. That would be a major step backwards.
