Speaking of the shifting definition of the word "woke".
Ummmm....guess who is ACTUALLY changing the definition of words?
I guess you could say this woman is "RIGHT"...so that would make her a terrorist in the eyes of the george soros funded commies. fascists. nazi and racist nutbars.
How old are you ? I'm mid-sixties, and when I grew up the norm was stay-at-home moms while Dad brought home the bacon, enough to keep ahead of house payments, car payments, put food on the table and maybe take a family holiday in the summer or put a kid through college. What's the norm today ? Both parents working, minimal benefits, private sector pension plans all but gone. Are you trying to tell me we're doing better than fifty years ago ?
The middle class is bleeding numbers to the lower income brackets, and with the costs of education and housing climbing steadily it is becoming increasing hard for younger families to even attain middle class status.
For millennials in Canada, the middle class dream slips a little further away: OECD
And who says that's acceptable? No one, with any amount of "brains" (for lack of a better word) would approve of "poisoning of rivers" and we're already too late about handing the "keys" to the hen-house but the latter is already too late. (Tech companies anyone?) We've been too lazy and not paying attention to what our politico's are doing which is basically lining their pockets at our expense. Unless we start getting rid of the politicians who don't have our best interests at heart (i.e. Trudeau, Singh, et al) then we're toast!
Has anyone seen some of the videos from the G7? Not very assuring and definitely not something to look forward to. We'll own nothing but we'll still be happy! Seriously! That's what one of the videos from the World Economic Forum says. That's the "Build Back Better" scenario - it'll be better for them but not for us! Just sayin.....
Trouble is the Banker pedo cult that wants to rule a world with no real people in it at all...just themselves.
BUT...I'm told you can't hate them for wanting to kill and enslave the whole planet 'cause they are genetically insane.
The trouble is it takes a certain kind of coward that can't deal with the gambles of life and needs to control everything to the point of complete obliteration - not only of the world...but of themselves too - while expecting everyone else to pay for it as well.
Just look at the death toll of communism/fascism/globalism over the last 120 years or so - more of THEIR OWN PEOPLE killed by banker supported tyrannies than by actual warfare.

Yes when I grew up the middle class had one car and the bus or bike . Look at how many vehicles in the average driveway . And yes we are much better off then 50 years ago , if the government would stay out of our pockets we could be even richer .
Absolutely, we are on the same course, do you think Venezuela just turned the switch on socialism one morning?
So then explain why these same young people protest every single job creation project in Canada? We are losing out on multiple billions of dollars in sales and the jobs that go with them every single year while the overeducated underachievers serve popcorn to tourists.
And we killed all those tourist jobs with the lockdowns . So we have these over educated underachievers collecting CERBERUS .
Those will come back as the vaccination program progresses and restrictions are lifted. I do agree though that too much free money like EI and the Covid Relief payments are keeping people out of the lower income job market like most tourist sector jobs. We've watched that for decades here in the Okanagan, the EI ski team. Take on an orchard or cannery job during fruit season because they know a layoff and EI are coming at the end of the season. Same with Covid relief, how are you going to get someone out into a part time minimum wage job when there's a couple of grand a month to be had playing with the x-box ?
I don't think so. Our current blend of free market capitalism and social programs is not something our voters are likely to vote away anytime soon. It's just a little out of whack in that the freedom we give to the corporate sector isn't being used responsibly, it serves the very few at the top of the food chain. If a little more value was given to employees then there's enough money for everyone to get ahead.

I know all the commies for years ( until it went "WOKE" ) were trying to escape to the relative paradise of the USA. Just look at the "WOKE " apple slave factories with the suicide nets in china so the slaves don't land on the bosses' cars for example. Of course though the bankers have decided absolute slavery is the model they like. Like with ex prince Andrew, It comes from being pedos and such.

That is NOT how crony capitalism works...Just look at soros - after helping stuff his fellow "Jews" onto the trains for Hitlar then going to work for the international globalist bankers as a reward - you think creatures like that care ABOUT WORKERS?

The Seven Deadly Sins of Woke
When the woke are blinded by the fires of their social justice insurrection, they are unable to see the injustice of their destruction of businesses and the myriad lives who overcame real injustices to create their own American Dream. When woke suppresses other’s rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, it becomes a vacuous four-letter word. You may be innocent of the soup du jour social injustices but if you dare to question methods and results, you likely will be shouted down, knocked down and put down with a loud WOKE YOU! Here are the seven deadly sins of woke.

How Venezuela Fell From the Richest Country in South America into Crisis
PATRICK J. KIGERIt wasn’t that long ago that Venezuela, which possesses the world’s largest crude oil reserves, was a relatively stable democracy with one of Latin America’s fastest-rising economies. It was a nation so awash in petroleum revenues that the socialist government of the late former President Hugo Chavez spent huge amounts on social programs and, at one point, even provided free heating oil for impoverished Americans.
But starting in 2014, the South American nation began suffering a startling collapse. With Venezuela’s gross domestic product plummeting even more than the United States during the Great Depression, many of its nearly 32 million inhabitants became unable to afford food, and resource-starved hospitals did not have enough soap and antibiotics.
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s political system spiraled into turmoil. President Nicolás Maduro, whose 2018 reelection was tainted by accusations of irregularities and voter intimidation, faced massive street protests and survived a spring 2019 military uprising instigated by opposition politician Juan Guaido, leader of the elected National Assembly whose legislative powers were taken away by Maduro’s regime in 2017.
How is it that Venezuela sank so far in such a short time? Scholars who’ve studied the country say its rise and fall was caused by a combination of factors.
“Venezuela has long been dependent on oil revenues, and the Bolivarian revolution of Hugo Chavez did not fundamentally alter that situation,” explains Jo-Marie Burt, an associate professor of political science and Latin American Studies at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. “The decline of oil prices, the massive social spending of the Chavez and Maduro governments, U.S. sanctions, and a combination of economic mismanagement and corruption at the top have contributed to the economic collapse.”...

How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela | Economics21
https://economics21.org/how-socialism-destroyed-venezuelaHow Socialism Destroyed Venezuela Many in the media have blamed Venezuela's worsening humanitarian crisis on corruption, mismanagement, falling oil prices, or U.S sanctions —anything but the rise of socialism in what was once the wealthiest country in South America.
No one gets to socialize oil...like the elected leader of Iraq did before the banker driven F-tards replaced him with the EVIL dick tatoe the Shaw of iran for example.
Pivot to the Poor
When he assumed the presidency in 1998, Hugo Chávez launched his so-called “Revolución bolivariana,” making sweeping changes to the cultural, social, and political norms of Venezuela. These changes began with his attention to Venezuela’s lower classes. Under Chávez, Venezuela expanded low-income housing, made healthcare and medicine accessible to much of the population, and subsidized food distribution for those in need. These programs, especially in rural areas, made social services and government jobs available to large swaths of the population, resulting in a drop in the poverty rate from 48.6 percent in 2002 to 29.5 percent in 2011. The infant mortality rate also declined while literacy rates and access to free public education increased, according to data aggregated by Index Mundi. As Harvard professor Steve Levitsky explained to the HPR, “Chávez took social policies seriously. Even with cronyism, corruption, and inefficiency, he implemented policies that truly helped the poor.”
Chávez funded these ambitious and far-reaching social programs largely using oil revenues. Venezuela has the world’s largest estimated oil reserves, an apparent blessing that has made oil the nation’s main export. When he took office, Chávez nationalized privately owned oil fields under PDVSA, the state-owned oil and natural gas company. This gave the Venezuelan government direct access to oil profits, which increased dramatically during Chávez’s rule from just under $10 per barrel in 1999 to a peak of $126 per barrel in 2008. Prices now stand at just over $80 per barrel.
Finally, the largest and most long-lasting success of the Chávez regime was his political inclusion of the poor, due to their new sense of empowerment from his other policies.
