The Daily Rabbit Hole
(Summary)
The Brutal Truth
Russia operates an efficient kleptocracy where rules are clear - stay out of politics, live normally. Corruption is systematic but predictable.
Pre-war Ukraine was objectively a failed state with active warfare, economic collapse, complete oligarch control, and institutional breakdown. The "democracy" narrative was propaganda.
Canada has become a sophisticated kleptocracy that maintains democratic theater while conducting systematic corruption ($1+ billion across multiple scandals), weaponizing finances against citizens, and allowing massive foreign interference while the media provides cover.
For day-to-day life of common people:
Russia: Stable, improving economically, politically restrictive but predictable
Pre-war Ukraine: Poverty, war, institutional collapse - objectively worst
Canada: High costs, government incompetence, emerging authoritarianism disguised as democracy
The evidence shows Canada's corruption now rivals or exceeds both Russia and pre-war Ukraine, but with better PR and media protection.
Anyone in ceded Ukrainian territories might actually experience more stability and less corruption under Russian administration than they did under Ukraine's failed oligarch-controlled system.

His biological parents later divorced when he was around 12, and in his early twenties, he connected with his biological mother, a nurse in North Carolina, and his maternal grandfather for the first time.
Growing up in suburban Calgary, Poilievre enjoyed competitive sports like hockey, football, and wrestling—though a shoulder tendinitis injury at age 14 sidelined him from the latter, prompting him to accompany his mother to a Progressive Conservative meeting that sparked his lifelong interest in politics!
