Canada is well on our way. Lots of support for proportional representation voting, separation of church and state yes (Canada is much less religious than the states except maybe Alberta), ways of taxing the wealthy through capital gains tax etc, education so free up until university and then tuition is lower for Canadians and federal student loans are at 0% lending, universal health care no dedications already in place. I think Europe might not understand how vast and far Canada is so public transportation can be really challenging but yes city’s have ok public transportation and better would be great. I don’t know about opensource or defence contracts so I won’t speak to those. Better housing options for homeless would be great. And we have state funded TV, CBC which we’re very proud of!

It’s hard to not read this and see the devastating impact of capitalism on our world politics. Brexit, Trump, new rise of naziism, inaction on climate change, pandemic response in the US, and erosion of democracy… how different would these have been if the worlds media was not centralized under one billionaire and his whims.
Great article.
moistclump@lemmy.worldto Excellent Reads@sh.itjust.works•Why is English so weirdly different from other languages? | Aeon Essays1·3 months agoWhen saying ‘eeny, meeny, miny, moe’, have you ever felt like you were kind of counting? Well, you are – in Celtic numbers, chewed up over time but recognisably descended from the ones rural Britishers used when counting animals and playing games. ‘Hickory, dickory, dock’ – what in the world do those words mean? Well, here’s a clue: hovera, dovera, dick were eight, nine and ten in that same Celtic counting list.
Interesting! Whole article was interesting.

I really, really sorry. I can’t even imagine. The neglect in the states should be registering world wide as a war crime. I went to San Francisco a couple years ago and was very, very depressed at the state of things. No sign of collective sense of responsibility or compassion.
As a Canadian, this has been scary and disheartening. I don’t know where we go from here.
It was one thing in 2016 when it wasn’t the popular vote and didn’t know what they were getting into. But now all I can think is… most of the voters voted for Trump even with Project 2025 published.
I don’t know how to act or feel. I don’t know what happens next.

The article is about the shifting creative career landscape and how different people have adapted. I’m not Gen X, or a creative, but I do think the timing of these downturns make a difference and the industry is under unique strain.
