Canada and the Netherlands. Vaccine mandates were totalitarian (and in hindsight completely useless too) and the Dutch nitrogen program is senseless (nitrogen emissions have been reduced massively over the last decades simply due to innovation and technological development) and will destroy a way of life - and an incredibly important sector in a time when I hope we had learned the importance of strategic autonomy.
On the fence about the French ones, but lean no. Pensions are going to be another mass wealth transfer from young people with no money to old people with money, generally speaking. 64 isn't an outrageous age to stop working. The question is whether such a big labour force is needed in the future at all, and I'd love to have seen a proposal that takes into account the struggles for mostly lower educated, working class people who are physically unable to continue working after years and years of physical work. What's more, the way Macron pushed this through is blatantly undemocratic. But in the end, the first argument plus my annoyance with the fact that completely reasonable protests always tend to become crazy violent riots in France is more important to me.
