Is It Time to Leave the U.S.? Moving to Canada as America Unravels | The Karel Show Is It Time to Leave the U.S.? Moving to Canada as America Unravels | The Karel Show The world is no longer whispering — it’s saying it out loud. At Davos, global leaders openly criticized the United States, warning that under Donald Trump, America has become a threat to democracy, stability, and basic sanity. Even major U.S. outlets are now urging Europe not to back down — and to hold America accountable. These are extraordinary times, and the global consequences are accelerating. So what happens when Americans start asking the unthinkable question: Is it time to leave? In this episode, we’re joined by Tom Moore, creator of the wildly popular YouTube channel Living in Halifax, to break down the realities of moving to Canada — not the fantasy, not the panic, but the actual how, why, and what-to-expect: • Immigration basics • Cost of living realities • Cultural differences • Why so many Americans are looking north • And who moving actually makes sense for This isn’t fear-mongering — it’s preparation. The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. If you value independent commentary, support the show at patreon.com/reallykarel — and please like, subscribe, and share.

The Extortion Economy: The Netflix-WBD Merger as a Case Study in Crony Capitalism Abstract This manifesto asserts that the current administration’s threatened "mega scrutiny" of the pending $72 billion Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) merger constitutes a performative act of re...

Merger approval is now currency.

Netflix-WBD’s $72B deal shows how DOJ “scrutiny” is weaponized as extortion. Corporate survival = regime loyalty.

This is crony capitalism masquerading as law. Resist normalization.

How Data Secrecy and Privatization Are Gutting American Democracy Victoria Baranetsky explains how the privatization of government functions and the rising value of data are eroding public access, accountability, and democratic control.

Data privatization: just more theft, grift. Can't pay? Too bad, just die then. Must suck being poor. I'm sure there's a charity that can help.

"The driving force behind this secrecy is the soaring value of data."
