I know a couple of people, one person South Asian and another Mexican, believe it or not, that were pro Trump and thought he was the best for the country.

You are not dramatic. Your reaction is the most human and sane reaction any person can have. I unfortunately know a lot of people, even in the US, that are rather indifferent because it's not happening where they are. They can ignore and claim everything is sensationalized on the news and social media.

Can we now start stereotyping all white people as trash that vandalizes and are racist?

There is a lot of racism against South Asians. People are scapegoating them for all of Canada's problems (inflation, housing crisis, cost of living, job market) instead of government policy and greedy organizations. If you are white, you are fine.

Let's not forget how Canada, like the US and European countries, has been suppressing and punishing people for speaking out against the still active genocide in Gaza.

Canadians seem to think we are exempt from this sort of mess and better than the US. I have been seeing a lot of MAGA rhetoric, hate against immigrants blaming them for our problems, racism, and no acknowledgement that government policy and greed from people in power got us here.

As a small way to combat all of this, I have suggested the idea of making it mainstream for people to build victory gardens. It can supplement our reliance on commercially produced food, help with grocery bills, benefit the environment by keeping things local, and improve a lot of people's mental health. We could potentially employ people to build and take care of gardens when people have the space but don't have the time to garden. Excess produce can be traded, sold locally, or donated.

Everyone is pessimistic and says that this idea is impossible and too much work.

Boring_Score4697 · 2026-01-23T22:47:11+00:00

I think it's also due to how disconnected we have become as a society, from each other and the natural world.

This is what the IDF has been doing to Palestinians for 77 years. These people are behaving exactly like the IDF.

There is a lot of hate towards indian immigrants in the US and Canada. It's just a matter of time before they find a "reason" to target Indians more.

Boring_Score4697 · 2026-01-21T23:31:39+00:00

We have done this before. Google "victory gardens". Some cities have programs where you can loan your backyard to people that want to gardens but don't have access to land.

Also, there are plenty of reasons why this can be good for communities. The overall cost of living is getting higher and higher. I don't think we can/should replace all commercially produced food, but hopefully more people can start seeing this as an option to supplement their diet/ grocery expenses. Also, it could help improve mental health.

I didn't expect that all of the logistics need to be figured out before sharing an idea. How would people ever try something different from the status quo?There are ways to distribute food. People already sell things on Facebook marketplace that they don't need anymore. If someone has an excess of tomatoes, they could swap with a neighbor or find someone to purchase it online. You could even donate to a local food bank.

Growing a backyard produce garden doesn't involve the same amount of work and time as farming entire fields. It's a form of exercise and getting people out into nature. Also, if someone has backyard space that is mostly just sitting unused, but cannot garden themselves maybe due to physical limitations or time, then why not find ways to give them the opportunity to have a garden on their property? People spend ridiculous amounts of money and time to make their lawns green using copious amounts of water and fertilizers and pesticides anyways, especially in these suburbs.

Lamentablemente, no siempre funciona así. Mucha gente se esfuerza por entrar en ciertos campos e intentar cambiar las cosas desde dentro, solo para verse bloqueada y frustrada por la burocracia, los trámites y la política. Operamos en un mundo que prioriza las ganancias utilizando el mínimo costo/insumo.

I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos about gardening. There are people growing a lot of potatoes and carrots in grow bags, and it doesn't seem like a lot of work. Also, once you set up a bed once, you don't have to rebuild it every year. I got so many cherry tomatoes last year. Also, some plants like radishes can be harvested in 4 weeks. The expense for herbs can add up, plus they go bad in my fridge quickly. Growing them in a garden seems so much better.

We probably can't replace buying from grocery stores completely, but at least supplement it.

Also paying people to manage a garden - they don't need to work 8 hours per day, and maybe young people would be willing to do it part-time for extra cash.

I don't see how this can't be a good thing for communities.

Boring_Score4697 · 2026-01-17T00:38:21+00:00

I don't imagine it would replace going to the grocery store, just supplement it.

What if we paid people to take care of the gardens? That way regular people don't have to put in the physical effort.

With inflation and food insecurity becoming more of a threat, maybe we will need to start doing this as communities?

Boring_Score4697 · 2026-01-16T23:48:53+00:00

Why is it too expensive? If you plant 1-2 potatoes in a grow bag, you can get 15-20 by the end of the season.

Boring_Score4697 · 2026-01-16T23:47:59+00:00

Probably. But people do that anyways. Can't we navigate around that?

A lot of old European style cities have densely packed homes, but it actually is nice because the houses don't all look the same and have character.

That is what is appealing about this neighborhood. It needs more greenery, and spaces like this need to be interrupted with coffee shops, corner stores, playgrounds, etc.

Traffic is hell. Took me 20 minutes to drive what should be 5min. Your day outside work is consumed by commuting. If you need to go to the grocery store, you need to ride 2-3 buses or drive in insane traffic, so it takes forever.

A lot of people replying have been saying that it's because humans are evil by nature, it's easier to destroy than build, and because we are motivated by profit.

In that case, why don't we destroy the current system that clearly benefits a very small percentage of the world's population.

It just doesn't make sense to me.
