Once Good

There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt or vile men and women.

The last days of an empire

When we were known

As kind good folk

Has come to an end

As the system breaks down

Cheap talk and pointing fingers

Always in abundance

Longing for bygone days

When lying was wrong

When lending a hand was the norm

Now we all scramble to barely get by

I had no idea that Canada was having trouble, we are experiencing the same things here

You have been head and shoulders beyond us for the last fours we are a shadow of what we use to be, I'm sad to say.

Hey MCS,

Yukoners are friendly - only place I've ever lived where strangers openly smile at you in public.

Economy's broken, crime's up, people are barely getting by and any loose extremities are liable to freeze off up here (c**k flashers beware!) but it might be better than Toronto is presently. From what I hear, they're about to start introducing an annual purge in your neck of the woods.

Anyways, just a laugh - stay warm.

Yes you guys are friendly and your landscape is awesome.

Our country is on life support and no one seems to know what to do. Yoga boy (Justin Trudeau) is still fussing with his hair, crying on cue and apologizing and refusing to leave. We have Mark Carney who is more Trudeau than the real McCoy, I work across the street from his office and the nature of business we cross paths on occasion and his is a slimy SOB he's just smarter than JT and then what can I say about Freeland that idiot couldn’t balance the books for a lemonade stand. So, what does Canada need at this time in my opinion it needs an enema, it needs to grow a pair and put Canadians first.

I hear you, I really do - at this stage Poilievre carries momentum and it's likely conservatives sweep, and it seems the question on people's minds is by how many seats in the house.

Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing - my thoughts go back to that parable with the Wiseman and the lost horse.

"We'll see," I think.

All that said, MCS, I've made it a personal mission to remove myself as far from that race as I can, and beyond our economy, I've no real horse in it.

I avoid politics like the plague - in my experience, it and religion are history's most common causes to knife one another.

Wish you all the best in your place of work.

Ook, I'm also trying to stay out of the chaos, I will vote and that's all I can do. Thank you for your visit and sharing your thoughts. Keep well, Mary

somehow 'they' showed up around the world ...
no! they have always been here
they hadn't grown a pair
what happened?

here
americans elected a man of kolor ... dark kolor!
an educated one!
your neck of the woods?
the young leader didn't stay young and full of fresh ideas (AIR?)
he instead grew stale and unlikeable

elsewhere those with the benjamins bought favor and favor became power
and power korrupts ALL who seek it

how the world iz

[MCS]

My dearest friend Kieth
You wouldn’t recognize Canada today. We’ve become a third world country and we continue to slide off the edge.

if ya look at the economic inequalities there are way more have nots than haves
the top 1% hold 30% of us monies
we are well on our way towards abject poverty

for more than 30 years i have been wanting to reside in montreal once again
hows the tundra? other than cold and lonely (i can handle both)

[MCS]

one can always count on it being cold here, somehow montreal is always colder and wetter than toronto. no more middle class here just the working poor.

[keith]

i'll feel right at home!
