@VachonSophie @Dave_Eby I can't believe canadian politicians unironically acknowledge the arrival of some singer. It's embarrassing.

you don’t fix the declining birth rate with subsidies or financial incentives.

the “kids are too expensive” argument is a convenient cope. people claiming they can’t afford children are usually rationalizing deeper issues: they just don’t want them. having children is as expensive as you choose to make it, and for all of human history, people with far fewer resources managed to raise families.

the problem isn’t financial; it’s cultural.

we live in a society that has systematically psyopped and brainwashed people into believing children are a burden, not a blessing. women are told that motherhood is a sacrifice and a hindrance to their career, as if chasing corporate promotions or vanity metrics is more meaningful than creating life.
men are infantilized and taught to fear responsibility. worst of all, we’ve cultivated a nihilistic worldview that makes people see no point in building a future.

the solution starts with changing the culture.

we need to instill pride in people: pride in their ancestry, their legacy, and the future they could create. optimism about what’s to come has to replace the relentless doomscrolling of modernity.
kids aren’t just an "expense"; they’re the greatest investment a human can make, and we need to start celebrating that.

in the short term, the most realistic strategy is doubling down on those who already value family. focus on motivating families with 2-3 kids to have one or two more.
it's much easier to expand a family than to convince couples to start from scratch when they've been ideologically poisoned against the idea.

finally, we need to stop glorifying the miserable, atomized single life and the media narratives that turn parenthood into a joke or tragedy.
yes, parenting is hard, but everything worth doing is.
the joy and purpose it gives far outweigh the sacrifices. once we get that cultural shift rolling, the financial complaints will fade away like the convenient excuses they always were

@jtferrier His "guidance" through covid was absolutely horrendous. I can't believe people had voted for him after he so clearly demonstrated his incompetence.

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@elonmusk He was a comedian before becoming a president, so that checks out

@MarcScottEmery When I go for a walk and cross paths with ~10 groups of people on the way, only 2-3 of them will be speaking English or French.
It doesn't feel like I'm in Canada.

@SyntheticusAlt Lol its not huge. Kamala won in California and other "progressive" states as well. The population in these places too focused on virtue signaling than on actual issues.

@vanillaopinions It's more weird if you are 27 and older and don't vote republican...

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@helenakan @ninjachris3 "Unfortunately" 🫣

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@CTVVancouver Who participates in these polls? I was never asked anything wtf

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@robkhenderson Oh yes, those holding degrees in gender studies and other useless fields sure know what's best for a country!

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@theJagmeetSingh How insufferable are you omg

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@JJ_McCullough Embarrassing

[Dominica @belochkababy]

@Bread_Piksol @Sheep_Esports @LEC_Wooloo @holysquad_fr I feel like it's not really about how good he is mechanically. He is going to have exactly the same issues as Thanatos - rookie mistakes, not the best macro and poor communication. C9 will definitely need a couple splits to adjust.

@jasleenkarora @bcndp @Conservative_BC I don't see where the conservative party says they will stop the fee reduction program...

In any case, the availability problem remains the same. What's the point of a program if you can't even take advantage of it because of unbelievably long wait times.
