When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to.
But this is a major problem.

It's always nuts to me when ppl say things like "we live in one of the most dangerous places", are constantly fearful of violence. The stress people must feel at all times is crazy. I walk through downtown Hamilton with very little worry knowing it's one of the safest places on Earth (from violence)
Canada is statistically the second safest country in the world for travel in relation to violent crime, and is the fifth safest country in the world overall. Japan takes the top spot, with Belgium in 3rd. Via @cultmtl.com
