I haven't watched this yet, but the Telegraph is British, no? Aren't they arresting people for mean tweets and autistic children for saying a cop looked like a lesbian? I've also seen street riots in the UK bigger and more violent than anything I've seen here yet. And wtf is this?

This isn't a defense of Canada BTW, it's spiraling the drain of the woke toilet, but from what I've seen the UK seems even further gone.

The UK has problems, for sure. Particularly the lack of free speech and politicised policing, along with poverty/cost-of-living issues. Mass immigration without integration is dividing people and driving wages down. General political incompetence on both the left and the right, and the 'rise of woke' has happened under a government who call themselves Conservatives.

We don't yet have hard drugs being openly taken in the street though, or legal/encouraged euthanasia. Not had any major riots since 2011, though. Occasional mobs of youths causing lower-level trouble in city centres, but we don't have the open looting of California, or the destructiveness of 'mostly peasceful protests' seen in the US.
