A psychological / idealogical ultimatum from the States is the most likely scenario that would compromise Canada's well being in my opinion. As opposed to all out warfare. Their right wing emboldens our own, which is concerning. But, again, if the US pulls a card like that then Central America is next and then the whole planet.

I feel pretty good about living in Canada. The temperature is usually memed on but it will become more temperate with climate change (a depressing win on that one). Our democracy isn't perfect but it's one of the best in the world. And the only danger we are in under the american military umbrella is the US itself - so in an instance where USA becomes so fucking wild that they're invading Canada then literally nowhere on earth is safe at that point I imagine.

If you've never seen a clear, dark, stary sky I think being overwhelmed a bit is very natural. It is in a true sense of the word - awesome.

Well I can't say for certain but there's a combination of wealth gap and ignoring climate trends that make a lot of people pessimistic about the future in general and that spills over into a lot of content here. Well not content as much as comments, but kind of both. Also we've gained a certain impression about which private companies or people that seem to be in control of the planet's future and those parties are highly suspect. Just trying to give an idea as to why things get gloomed into oblivion sometimes.

I'm definitely excited for the future but I live in a first world country and am generally pretty positive.
