Bill Maher Slams Canada as ‘Cautionary Tale’ for Americans on ‘Extreme Wokeness’

EXCERPT:

MAHER: “Yes, for decades, places like Vancouver and Amsterdam and Stockholm seemed idyllic because everything was free and all the energy we needed was produced by riding a bike to your job at the windmill. Canada was where all the treasured goals of liberalism worked perfectly. It was like NPR come to life -- but with poutine. Canada was the Statue of Liberty with a low-maintenance haircut and cross-country skis, a giant, idealized blue state with single-payer health care, gun control, and abortion on polite demand. Canada was where every woke, white college kid wearing pajama pants outdoors, who’d had it up to here with America’s racist patriarchy, dreamt of living someday. I mean, besides Gaza. 
(Laughter and Applause) 
There’s only one problem with thinking everything’s better in Canada. It’s not. Not anymore, anyway. Last year, Canada added 1.3 million people, which is a lot in one year, the equivalent of the U.S., adding 11 million migrants in one year. And now, they’re experiencing a housing crisis even worse than ours, and we’re sleeping in tents. The median price of a home here is $346,000. In Canada, converted to U.S. dollars, it’s $487,000. If Barbie moved to Winnipeg, she wouldn’t be able to afford her dream house, and Ken would be working at Tim Hortons.”
