I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.
Makes ethical arguments about Trump's character (evil, manipulative) and appeals to values of collaboration and intelligence over scheming.

This is how a leader should be, clear in speech and calm, and addressing the problems instead of being a turncoat and selling your own country out, but then were already annoyed at Starmer

This is an interesting issue. I have lived in both Brampton and Surrey, and there is some real issues with immigration.
But the homeless you showed made me think about the other side of the coin, these Indian immigrants would probably do a better job feeding our own homeless if they were aware they were welcome.
Things like garbage and stuff, indians have less civil duty because their own cultural issues. But they have a sense of duty of family and community.
So we need to hold our goverment responsible for not handling emmigration properly, but also if have compassion and bring these people into our communities as well, then you will feel a new sense of duty from them.
Its a tough issue on both sides that our goverments are forcing us the people to deal with
Nuanced lived experience acknowledging both integration challenges and potential for community contribution, appealing to compassion and government accountability.
