Unaccountable police states never prosper once the subsidies run out.
Ontario is going to hurt Canada the most. Plenty of cops, few engineers or rocket scientists. Corruption from the courts to the police and intel agencies. THAT is the "new" Canada, which is really the Canada of old.
Even when one wants out, like myself, these criminals try to force you to stay. We are NOT your ally, wake up America.

A new report suggests that Ontarians are falling behind their American neighbours when it comes to living standards.
The study conducted by right-wing think-tank the Fraser Institute finds Ontario ranks near the bottom of the Great Lakes region when it comes to GDP per person, a metric researchers use to evaluate economic prosperity.
The study suggests the gap with nearby U.S. states has widened significantly over the past two decades.
In fact, it said that from 2001 to 2024 the regional average GDP per person grew by 22.5 per cent while Ontario’s only grew by 12.7 per cent.
“Within North America’s Great Lakes region, Ontario is clearly an economic laggard and its living standards are falling behind those of its neighbours,” Jake Fuss, the institute’s director of fiscal studies and a co-author of the report, said in a news release.
By comparison, New York recorded $134,470 per person, while the regional average reached $94,523. That’s roughly 27.5 per cent higher than Ontario.
