It's interesting...the candor. Here in the USA, our government is still lying. One example: They have included higher retail sales figures (because of inflation), concluding that the economy has grown. Meanwhile, people must do with less, both in volume and quality across the entire spectrum (food, staples, fuel, vehicles, etc.).
I spoke with a woman who looks East Indian but she isn't , her son went to apply for a job where he was asked if he spoke Punjab, he said no, Im Canadian, I speak English , he didn't get the job. The same thing happened to his mom when she applied at an airport. So I guess now English is a second or third language.
