Helen Mcilroy @helenmcilroy.bsky.social · 06/02/2025I’ve heard you say America is the greatest democracy ever. It was built by religious fantasists over the bodies of indigenous people with the labour of slaves. Who can be surprised it could crumble in a week? Canada is a proud liberal, multicultural, secular democracy. KEEP OUT! 010 1

Helen Mcilroy @helenmcilroy.bsky.social · 03/02/2025In a religious country like the U.S. people are groomed from birth to believe (choose to think something is true without evidence or in spite of the evidence) that a big daddy is going to save them as long as they continue to please him. It also teaches them to suspend disbelief in the ridiculous. 010 1
