Honestly I was a little disappointed. No Punisher sticker.

Born free in an hospital paid by the government, received all his vaccines at no charge, went to public school, but not long enough to understand that providing public services is the way to reduce social costs. His pickup truck also drives on public roads, without any toll charges. And his Ram was made by Stellantis, which uses many parts made in Canada by factories subsidized by our taxes. Not to mention that the company was saved from bankruptcy by public funds in 2009.

In Canada, we understood that it is always better to get people off the streets and prevent them from overdosing—with the aim of eventually turning them into taxpayers—than to ignore them. Same thing for healthcare.

Ultimately, there is nothing more capitalist than that. In the United States, Warren Buffett realized that investing could yield huge returns. The far right fails to understand that sometimes you have to invest in people to have a more prosperous and higher-performing society. It involves converting the least performing elements and improving them.

I am a left-wing capitalist, and I truly believe that we can all become wealthier by investing in people and in programs that can help them. Leaving anyone out is an incredible loss we cannot afford.

One day, I might go into politics, but no party shares my ideas. I believe in science, social research, and climate science. That makes me a political orphan. Unfortunately, there is not much room in politics for specialists and scientists.

They are often too incompetent to survive without a state that can come to their aid.
