The entire ‘nice’ narrative is old and no longer applicable. There is very little nice about Canada, especially in big cities. People are unfriendly and grumpy. Drivers are rude. Store clerks are indifferent at best. Government workers scowl at people. Few seem to do their job well, putting in minimum effort only. Smiles are lacking. There is no decent service in the service sector. Everyone complains. There is no sense of community. Nice my ass. That’s long gone.
True. I think that’s why Quebeckers are not nice. Life is hard. They have to work to make ends meet. They can’t survive well enough on handouts. Glad I left.
Interesting take. Having lived mainly in the USA and Singapore since 1989 I’d take both over Canada for many reasons. I don’t see how Canada is akin to the US or trending toward Singapore. Both of those countries have driven, ambitious people that are taught to work hard and succeed without relying on handouts. Teaching this in Canada would be considered evil. So Canada becomes a race to the bottom, and the people have no common core identity. There is mistrust among immigrant groups. No wonder they are not nice.
Interesting but I disagree. Culture and attitude between the US and Canada and Singapore and Canada is too different.
I could write a book on my experiences in both countries over the past 30 plus years. Remember, things in Singapore are a lot different than what you may read. Biggest difference apart from what I mentioned: taxes and foreigners are guests and have virtually to rights in Singapore. Opposite of Canada. Canada is not trending that way.
Canada is a shit hole. We need to group together and separate from the govnmt. Produce all our own resources, trade and work together. #SeparateFromCanada
I stopped caring about our country when it became clear that the government stopped caring. Trudy is just the last in a line of neolibs who are more concerned about the approval of the euros or americans (depending on party) then their actual voters.
The Canadian government hasn't been dependent on taxation since 10 April, 1933, when an Order-in-Council officially suspended the redemption of Dominion notes for gold. Once a government de-couples itself from reality via fiat currency, it can pay all domestic bills via money printing. Taxation is no longer about raising funds or balancing budgets, but about social engineering. Which peoples and behaviours should be penalized and which subsidized? Taxation is about helping friends and harming enemies.

Canadians are pathetic, subservient, compliant cucks.
I'm not even really sure that it would help to organize resistance against the government overreach. Most people are happy to be enslaved.

Quit being a cuck Maple
