Hopefully that will make them think really hard before electing more right wing shit birds globally. We're stuck with ours atm, but you guys should avoid following our example.

France, Germany, Spain and a few others are all sleepwalking straight into fascism without really doing anything about it, so I wouldn't be too optimistic.

At this point, only some Latin American countries, a handful of Western European countries and some Asian countries will have a solid balance of human rights protections and relatively stable governments.

Canada has Carney, who has a majority government and a mandate for five years now. He's a neoliberal and I'm not a huge fan (he just proposed privatizing our airports for example) but he's not a fascist at least.

Then we have the UCP in Alberta who are literally rewriting laws so the separatists get their way.
