    Don’t come to Canada. We don’t have enough housing for the people already here. Most of you will die of exposure during your first winter here.

    Go to Mexico instead. I’m sure they’ll take you.

      Canada talking a lot of good shit in posts like this lately. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up near the border and I love Canada, but don’t pretend it’s not just a handful of resource extraction companies stacked in a trench coat pretending to be a country.

        We rank above the US is virtually every metric. Education. Healthcare. Life expectancy. Lower infant and maternal mortality. Standard of living. Quality of life. Safety. Religious freedom. Personal freedom. Better place to do business. Better place to headquarter a business. Better beer. Maple syrup.

        But by all means, keep telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.

        As a wisconsinite I can tell you climate change is destabilizing the polar vortex so now there’s about a week every year where it’s -40 so climate change isn’t just about warming but the general change and destabilization of the climate

          Hot gets hotter and cold gets colder. I don’t know why think one without the other. It’s how the Earth fights back.
