I figured out how to fix Canada in about five minutes. The solution: stop touching everything. Every time the government tries to “help,” it gets more expensive, more complicated, and somehow worse. Housing? Stop interfering. Environment? Stop interfering. Healthcare? Maybe stop going to the ER for colds. The whole episode is basically one long rant that starts with common sense and ends with me wondering how we got so dumb as a country.
From red tape slowing down builders, to modular homes that cost a fortune, to trade deals that go backwards after every international trip—nothing makes sense. I get into why free healthcare is jammed with non-emergencies, why Alberta could thrive on its own, and why ticking off the president of the United States is the dumbest possible strategy for a country that relies on them for everything.
It’s blunt, annoyed, and sprinkled with humor. If you like politics, common sense, or just watching someone slowly lose their mind over bureaucracy, you’ll probably enjoy it.
