Some Insight Into Liberal Thinking. What Was She Thinking?

Video Goes Viral: American Who Moved to Canada Over Trump Now Struggling With Cost of Living - Now She's Reduced to Begging Because She Had No Idea How Bad It Would Be There 1.

A video circulating on social media shows an American who moved to Canada because of opposition to President Donald Trump now describing the financial difficulties she’s facing there.

The woman, who previously lived in Los Angeles, posted a TikTok on Jan. 31 explaining that she and her partner relocated to Vancouver but are running out of money after less than two months.

In the video, she explained that Americans visiting Canada can stay for up to six months on a visitor visa but are not allowed to work during that time.

“My partner and I are here on a visitor visa, which is a six-month possible stay for Americans. But while you’re here on a visitor visa, you can’t work,” she said, adding that they are currently living off the savings they brought with them when they left the United States.

She also said the cost of living in Vancouver has been higher than expected, particularly when it comes to housing.

Here comes the rude awakening!

“The housing crisis here is worse than in the United States,” she said, noting that she had lived in Los Angeles for six years but had not encountered rent prices as high as what she’s seeing in Vancouver.

The woman added that many everyday expenses are more expensive than she anticipated and that, as non-citizens, they cannot access most of the resources available to Canadians.

“That’s understandable — I’m not a citizen of the country — but it’s making the financial situation difficult because we can’t work,” she explained.

In the video, she asked if anyone might know of a one- or two-bedroom apartment where she, her partner, and their pets could stay at a reduced cost or temporarily.

“If we can’t find housing, we may have to leave,” she said. “And we’re not sure where we would go.”

The video later spread widely on X, sparking debate and commentary about the challenges of relocating to another country without work authorization, as well as the rising cost of living in major cities like Vancouver.

Just When You Think You've Heard It All, This Happens.

Some of us have a low opinion of our education system.  I have become aware of something going on at UC Berkley that is just beyond comprehension.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to receive a quality education in America. I didn't need to attend an Ivy League University, although I spent two years at UCLA. 

Back in the "good old days," the schools taught reading, writing, math, history, civics, and all the rest of the subjects that would create a well-rounded young man or woman capable of entering the work world and being prepared for their respective vocations. I am not going to blame the instructor for the dereliction of duty in this article. The fault lies with the institution that hired her to indoctrinate the students with nonsense that will do the students zero good in doing their job if they can apply and be accepted to work.

Beginning in 2016, Professor Juana María Rodríguez has assigned her students to create and edit Wikipedia articles about LGBTQ+ people, with a particular focus on queer and transgender people of color.

Insanity: Professor Gets Rid of Finals, Assigns Editing Of “LGBTQ+” Wikipedia Pages Instead

In the latest lunacy on campus, according to Campus Reform, “A professor at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) has assigned students an alternative to traditional finals—creating and editing Wikipedia pages about ‘queer and trans people of color.”

Excellence and quality education continue to be replaced by Woke indoctrination at Berkeley.

The ‘Ethnic Studies’ professor had students defend and expand on Wikipedia articles related to ‘LGBTQ’ history and transgenderism, according to the report.

Somehow, this insanity is considered worth the price of tuition at Berkeley despite the fact that it does nothing to prepare students for real life.

According to The Campus Reform report, “The project is facilitated through Wiki Education, an organization that partners with college faculty to incorporate Wikipedia editing into coursework.”

This should never have been a thing, and it is hardly educational to begin with. The fact that the course is named, absurdly, Queer of Color, as if that is part of education, is even worse.

Among the pages they were assigned were such gems as “Queer Vampires,” “LGBTQ themes in horror fiction,” and more.

Another article was about “Lesbian bars,” as absurd as that sounds.

“Classes have made more than 300,000 edits and added 3,000 citations to Wikipedia articles, collectively amassing nearly 100 million views.”

The professor who assigned this framed the assignment as opposing the Trump administration.

“Right now, the Trump administration is trying to erase the very existence of transgender people, so having information about those histories, as well as present challenges facing queer and trans communities, is particularly urgent,” is what the professor in question told The Daily Californian.

This activist/professor unsurprisingly lists “transgender studies,” “queer activism in the Americas,” and “sex work” as her areas of expertise. In other words, she should not be in education.

These types of courses are pure leftist indoctrination and do not qualify as educational or helpful for real life.
