We occasionally will share content from “manosphere” YouTuber Rich Cooper here at the site, but mostly we’ll look to him for items more cultural than political. This is a bit of an exception.

Cooper is Canadian. He lives in the Toronto area. He isn’t expressly political but occasionally he’ll stray from his usual fare of discussing the dating world and the relations between the sexes to talk about political topics to talk about current events.

This wasn’t exactly that. Instead, Cooper was asked to assess Canada as a place to live by a viewer who’s considering international options – and he didn’t hold back in his assessment of what his country has become.

First on Cooper’s bill of particulars was the terrible weather in Canada for most of the year, something politics has not much to do with. But following behind that were a host of complaints which aren’t particular to geography but instead a brutal indictment of the Canadian ruling class and its mistreatment of the citizenry.

Cooper notes that taxation in Canada is punitive of success and so ridiculously complex as to make complying with the tax code a near impossibility for normal taxpayers. He decries an immigration system which simply sucks in anyone who will come with no attention to preserving Canada’s national culture or assimilating newcomers at all, and notes that what results is an almost complete vacancy of things like the national maple leaf flag on display, whole sections of Canadian cities where English or French can’t be seen in shop windows, as these are Chinese or Indian or Somali parts of town where the locals cater to their own to the exclusion of the community at large.

He talks about crime, and the police having not much interest in solving it when carjackings and car thefts even from private driveways are common – a function, he notes, of Canadians having no right to defend themselves with firearms. Cooper says getting a black market gun is quite easy, though, so the odious gun laws in that country don’t actually get guns off the streets. He says Canadian kids come out of the schools with virtually no practical knowledge at all, though they’re very well versed in all of the different gender identities and the woes of white privilege.

And he discusses what one might expect out of a national health system like the one the Canadians are burdened with.

It’s a very bleak picture. Bleaker still in that everything Cooper laments in Canada, save for the weather, is very readily accessible in the policy statements of our own politicians on the Left. Canada is what Kamala Harris, for example – who was raised in Canada, though at a time when the country was far less dysfunctional than it is now – would make America into.

It’s a chilling lament, but one which deserves our attention.
