"Every crisis is an opportunity"

-- Every single slimy "liberal" politician who is really just a posh autoritarian with a toolbox of Identity Politics slogans.

Democracy IS THE COMPROMISE.

The alternative is a nonstop threat of violence that makes the "Wild West" look like a monk's retreat.

The 'Wild West' wasn't all that wild or lawless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR7EBBXcQUg it was probably safer than life today in Canada. Don't let all the dumb Hollywood movies fool you.

UK and Germany's too. Hungary, France, Denmark and Italy also not in great shape. Anywhere there's heavy zionist genocider influence campaigns. Coincidence maybe. Spain and Ireland are doing great as an anti-pattern.

I'm a bit put off by our rating now placing behind Brazil as I'm pretty sure in practical terms Canada is still more Democratic in many aspects. Does it mean we're not sliding? I'm certain we are,but I think methodology might be flawed and as a result we've got sensational-ish content.

TBF - yes democracy is sliding in Canada, just look at recent government moves i Quebec and Alberta as a sample. Meaning we have to fight for it at the polls and on the streets. It's far from "game over" but it could be at some point.

I'm not as familiar with either system as you seem to be. What is it about Brazilian politics that makes you feel Canada is more democratic?
