Not a Canadian - I keep seeing people ridiculing the Conservative party here on Lemmy, but I saw on wikipedia that they are currently leading the polls?

Trudeau is not popular as well, if I’m not mistaken. I know an older Canadian who hates Trudeau with passion and praises Poilievre…

Is this similar to Trump’s populism strat? What is it that the conservatives are promising to be that popular?

Edit: thanks all for the explanation, I wish the best for you guys

Hey dude, similar experience here.

I grew up a minority, and went to study abroad where my ethnicity is the majority, then stayed for work. People would assume I’m local by my appearance, and as long as I don’t have to speak, I’m blending in. I visit home quite often, once in one or two years, but every time, the feeling of being an outsider grows. I haven’t been contacting most of my friends for a while, and my personal values have changed. As you said, parents are ageing, streets are different, and the empty lots I used to play in have been built.

Even though I said I feel more welcome in my current residence, being a foreigner means some landlords don’t let me rent their apartment, and some banking services aren’t open for me. Can’t buy properties either.

I feel like an outsider anywhere I go, and I come from a country with stupidly weak passport. Can’t have multiple nationalities either.

But I’ll visit home often, and spend more time with my family. Time flies and things change too quickly, it’ll be good to celebrate what little we have.

There are literally 72 senators who voted against calling it a genocide dude… But everything is the president’s fault, eh?

It’s actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though…

Best of luck to you too!

Sorry, it’s just the “I set the bar too low” meme 😅. Yes, I’m currently in Taiwan.

Thanks! Hope for good things ahead to us all.

I’m all supportive for the reduction of meat consumption, but I believe even collective individual action won’t cut it.

Well, I totally agree with you. I somewhat fall into that category as well (younger-ish generation anxious for the future).

I think he just meant that we are a failure to our own ideals, for such a smart species we failed to be responsible or keep these companies accountable. Lets say that dinosaurs had millions of years of existence and we achieved more in thousands of years, but wouldn’t it be a shame if our achievements is what led us to our own extinction? Icarus’s fall would be nothing in comparison to ours, and that in itself can be considered a failure.

Once we see no snowfall where it should be, arctics not freezing as they usually do, we know we fucked up. Wait…we’ve been seeing these patterns last year didn’t we?

I skin and cut my mangoes off the seed, devour the fruit around the seed and throw it away along with the skin, clean up, then eat the cut up fruit. That way I can be as messy as I want then enjoy the rest of the fruit while being clean.

Yeah, it’s just a popular tactic for politicians to scare people then show that they are working on something to mitigate the “threat”. Immigrants, muslims, the jew, the non believers, the radiation (but not the pollution bcs it is a money maker) etc etc
