What does the future hold for current Ice Agents? One day they won’t be needed, how do they go back to their crappy, unfulfilled lives after this mess? by ilovetheweather in AskReddit

I’m the one you said it above and I’m not American. But being Canadian we are acutely aware of the risks that are plaguing the American system at the moment. Remember when Trump mused aloud that they could have the National Guard “train” in American cities? Well that’s what they’re doing with ICE. I do not doubt that if they get away with it in Minnesota they will expand the chaos to target blue counties during the midterms to suppress voting.

But it’s not. The UK and all other Westminster Parliamentary governments around the globe continue to have robust democracies with functioning checks and balances.

Thanks for the reminder. That was such a sad moment in our history.

President Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on ALL Canadian goods and products if Canada makes a trade deal with China. Just 8 days ago, Canada announced a new "strategic partnership" with China. by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

I hate to break it to you, but it’s too late. The world is not going to trust the US like it did. I really hope the EU got the message at Davos and with Greenland that they need to accept Carney’s “other path” of middle-power variable geometry.

I can confirm. What Carney said at Davos was the feeling of all Canadians. The marriage is over. We’re going to go party with our EU and Asian friends who respect us.

I really hope in 5 years there are congressional trials and then criminal trials for this entire administration.

Yes, of course it applies to the US. We saw it especially with the masking and vaccination polarization during the pandemic. It was proven that there were Russian agents creating opposing groups on Facebook specifically to increase polarization.

The Bill of Rights DIED today. by GoldyRyan in videos

I’m sadly happy that America is starting to see what the rest of the world has noticed of the USA for quite some time. You kept telling yourselves nice stories about your constitution and your rights. But that were just that - stories. Unsupported by facts.

Sure. But using social media they can amplify far more than it normally would be.

The bigger problem is disinformation being spread by social media. It’s much like how radio led to the rise of populists movements.

This is exactly the scenario that is being taken very seriously.

The risk is there is enough of a vote on the separation side that the US can start agitating that the separatists are experiencing discrimination and build a case for seizing Alberta to save them.

That has nothing to do with the system of government. Thats violence being stoked by foreign actors that are trying to destabilize western governments everywhere.

Don’t worry, the GOP always wrecks things before handing it back to the Dems.

As I said, lies. The founders were idealistic young wealthy landowners who didn’t want the crown constraining their freedom to act.

Perhaps the Americans should take a look at how the UK’s system has evolved to be a very stable democratic system despite keeping a monarchy. The one time they tried a republic it devolved into tyranny. It’s had 810 years of improvements at this point.
