  • Other similar polls in the timeframe put “would want to” at about 9% as well. Some are even phrased as “would vote to”.

    What surprised me was the 18-34 demo who are apparently about 17% for it.

    That being said, the quality of a lot of these polls aren’t great. Many aren’t random samples and come with a big disclaimer.

    But, still, none have been as high as 20%. That’s crazy high as a national average. Really curious breakdown by state. The most support for joining to USA is AB and it’s still around just 13%. This suggests the most “I want to leave” state wants to join Canada much more than the most “I want to leave province” wants to join the USA.













  • When the Soviet Union collapsed, there was kinda a “fire sale” of government assets… They just got “sold” (effectively handed) to people who were favoured by the leaders of the time. This was how these Russian oligarchs came to be.

    I think this is where the wind is blowing in the USA. Tear apart anything the government does and hand the responsibility for those things as private contracts, and to just hand those contracts to whomever seems like they’d be a good soldier.

    Basically, rip all of the copper out of the walls, sell it at 10% market rate to the PayPal mafia, and then let them sell you copper-as-a-service.
