Living in Canada is depressing af, infrastructure develops on geological scale here. It's like watching plate tectonics.

its so true, and yet when I talk to american friends who live in smaller cities they are envious of the urban development that occurs here even. Sad state of affairs in North America

As USian, can confirm. So much infrastructure and even buildings is from the 1970's, at best. We're still actively poisoning ourselves with lead pipes ffs.

Moved back to my small Ontario town after like a decade away a couple years back and it's all virtually the same (except with way more empty storefronts downtown, thank god we give landlords a tax break for letting them stand vacant!).

I used to live in Fredericton, NB. It was basically like a time capsule. Nothing changed there.

I was also under a wrong impression. From how well versed you are on what's going on in Europe i thought you were European 😆

Haha, I find everything's connected in the end. I tend to pay a lot of attention to Europe cause that's where contradictions are sharpest at the moment.
