I like to say I am either a traditional liberal, or practical conservative. A lot of my views are libertarian, id like a small government, but recognize the need for the government to regulate certain areas. Im Canadian, I'd like more power to be given to communities to govern themselves, I'd similarly like provincial government to have more power over themselves and much less at the federal level.

Politically, I believe both liberals and conservatives are important, and dialogue between the two is important, a healthy society would respect the opinions of both sides. Both of the extreme ends are crazy, and I despise the people who work to increase the division between left and right, mainly Trump, and whoever his replacement will be, and the mainstream media. I get tired of people choosing sides because the media says this or Trump says that. An example of this is the current gun control debate, or lockdown procedures, or the Equality act getting pushed through in the states. The media is mostly a mouth piece for gaslighting the general population and manipulating them into supporting a movement.
