Because I’m Starting to Look at Canada Differently

Let me start by saying this: I love my country.

But lately… I’ve been side-eyeing Canada like it’s a cozy Airbnb escape with functioning healthcare and a prime minister who doesn’t want to turn back the clock to 1953.

And before anyone says, “If you don’t like it here, leave,” let me just preemptively respond:

I’m not packing my bags — yet.

But don’t think I haven’t checked Toronto’s rental market and bookmarked a few Nova Scotia real estate listings, because America, you’re acting weird right now.

What Even Is This Timeline?

There was a time when “America the Beautiful” meant something beyond amber waves and freedom fries. These days, it feels like we’re trapped in a reality show hosted by conspiracy theorists and judged by a Supreme Court that’s less about justice and more about Christian nationalism cosplay.

We’ve got:

• Politicians are pushing book bans while hoarding assault rifles like Pokémon cards.
• State legislatures are turning wombs into war zones.
