HBO's Bill Maher took aim at Canada as being a "cautionary tale" for the US, warning that going "too far left" will help elect former President Trump.
Maher compared Canada to the US, showing how the neighbors to the north have a higher unemployment rate and more cities with worse air pollution. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
"Canada was the Statue of Liberty with a low-maintenance haircut and cross-country skis, a giant idealized blue state with single-payer health care, gun control and abortion on polite demand. Canada was where every woke White college kid wearing pajama pants outdoors who had it up to here with America's racist patriarchy dreamt of living someday. I mean, besides Gaza," Maher quipped.
"There's only one problem with thinking everything's better in Canada: It's not. Not anymore, anyway. Last year, Canada added 1.3 million people, which is a lot in one year- the equivalent of the US adding 11 million migrants in one year. And now, they're experiencing a housing crisis even worse than ours… The median price of a home here is $346,000. In Canada converted to US dollars, it's 487. If Barbie moved to Winnipeg, she wouldn't be able to afford her dream house and Ken would be working at Tim Hortons."
