@Layo_FH i work in a pub in Zone 1 (though a quieter area than shoreditch), we have quite a few locals, all of them elderly, seems to be a pleasant life for those who can afford it!

It's grotesque how American political culture turns absolutely everything (TV shows, hobbies, religion, other countries, etc.) into fodder for an endless Schmittian political trench war.
Canada is designated "left". Therefore, American conservatives must performatively hate everything about Canada while American liberals must performatively praise everything about it. Neither view Canada as a real place with real people, but just a political theme park. It's either the Disney Castle or the Haunted Mansion depending on their ideology.
Obviously, the reality of Canada doesn't reflect either of these cartoonish hyperreal images. However, this serves as the axiom for most political discourse on the country. It has gotten to the point that Canadians now view their own country through this distorted Americanized lens.
This is a massive scandal.

Only, Tactical Choice don't appear to exist.
