Hey there folks. Edmontonpede here. I usually spend my time on The Donald, because I honestly believe that Canada tends to follow the American trend. So I spend my time encouraging and engaging there.
I'm looking for where people actually organize to protest. My use of social media is fairly limited, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get on board with local protests. I want to protest the return of the mask mandates.
Bwahahahahahahahaaa.
More like we do exactly the opposite because Canadians think they are better.
Really? How much of the media we consume up here is actually Canadian? The answer to that is only the amount that is federally mandated.
We have Marvel. We have DC. We imported Uber and Lyft. All our stars come from Hollywood. BLM started down south and crossed the border.
When Trump was in office our GDP rose.
We have pretty much every major American Cultural Hallmark that you can think of.
About the only difference is that we have Nationalized Healthcare, and Quebec.
If you want Canada to straighten up, help America Straighten up. Trust me on that one.
But that has little to do with what I'm after. Kenney is a cuck, and I want to protest his bullshit.
You talk about pop culture and not politics.
Look at out vaccinations rates. Look at our politicians. Our Conservatives would be even considered to far left to get on the ballot as Democrats in some US States. O'Toole is tweeting about LGBT pride, transgender support and that he is supporting any province that implements a vaccine passport. Does this sound to you like we follow "the American trend"? Our left leaning parties are topping each other with promises to spend more and more.
Our GDP rose even before that.
We have no 2nd amendment. We have no restrictions on abortion. We have only a very small social conservative base, which can be totally ignored during any election. We have several parties in our parliament, including the NDP which was founded by socialist farmers.
We have far more in common with European countries.
This only proves my point. We as Canadians rely a tonne on Conservativism and Populism that exists just across that border. Our politicians are largely compromised. I can think of 2 politicians that I enjoy in all of Canadian Politics. Pierre Poilievre and Maxime Bernier. O'Toole is a spineless fool, who's name is only known because he somehow ended up in the leadership seat of the "Conservative" party. Kenney is spineless. The only politicians known in Canada are the ones we hate, and the one's we're stuck with, with some overlap.
Culture will invariably influence your politics. It's why you can largely identify someone's politics almost exclusively by their interests and beliefs.
Whenever there is a social change down south, it seems to find its way north in between 1 to 5 months.
We don't. But it doesn't appear to be necessary when you account for how armed Rural Canadians are.
Nnno. We're not as restrictive as the United states.
We have a very large Fiscally Conservative base that cannot. That's a very minor difference, because of how often they do in fact overlap.
The NDP and the Greens are basically the Liberals. That's tantamount to the illusion of choice. Every time they vote, it is how the Liberals want them to. Can't let the Tories have a W, after all. Same goes for the PPC to the Tories, as much as I hate to say it.
This is reinforced from the other side by the complaint that you'll "Split the vote" if you vote anything other than the PC's as a conservative. You still functionally have 2 sides.
Our system does. Our policy and politics does not.
Those differences seem superficial at best, upon closer inspection.
We don't. Canadian Conservatism has nothing in common other than "less taxes" with American Conservatism. And this isn't the fault of some compromised politicians. This is what voters want.
Absolute bullshit.
You have no idea of Canadian laws or politics. There are no, speak zero, restrictions on abortion in Canada. And it's even funded with tax dollars.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Canada
"Canada is the only nation with absolutely no legal restrictions to access abortion services."
It's not a minor difference. Fiscal conservatives are not social conservatives. These two things have nothing to do with another.
National healthcare, no free speech, no 2nd amendment, no restrictions on abortion, a oversized social security net, money transfers between the provinces so that every Canadian is "equal", a parliamentary system with several parties, a disdain for American politics (even the vast majority of Conservatives hated Trump here in Canada).
We don't have superficial differences with the US. We have major difference with the US. Just because you see some people in Alberta driving around with an F150 while listening country music, doesn't mean that they American.
Less taxes. Disagreement with Mask and Vaccine Mandates. There are talks of seccession in western provinces as often as there is with Quebec these days. But it's all in line with what voters want, right?
From your Wikipedia source:
Seems you're wrong, buckaroo. Because Abortions beyond 23 weeks and 6 days does not appear to happen. Second Trimester.
Restrictions appear to be based on availability of service. There is little to no service beyond that point. While legal, it isn't in practice.
Except for the way that they vote. Which appears to overlap.
No argument. We have National Healtcare.
Section 2(b) of the charter of rights and freedoms, bud. I have the right to freedom of expression.
No gun culture. We're plenty armed. Look up the rates of firearm ownership for Rural Canadians and get back to me.
No legal restriction. Practical restrictions exist. You are very unlikely to receive an abortion in Canada past the second trimester.
Indeed. No argument here. Some want that changed.
Alberta and Quebec threaten to secede from the country once a year like clockwork, for opposite reasons on this issue. This doesn't say what you think it does.
No. We functionally have 2 parties. One of them just has 2 (And a half, if you count the greens) names. They largely vote for the same thing, which gives you the same end result.
Hated. Past tense. In 2016, I was one of em. Then I started paying attention.
Identify the practical differences, and then we can continue this discussion, because you don't appear to be able to accept that 1+3 and 2+2 both equal 4.
There is no notable disagreement, even in conservatives provinces. See Alberta where you have only a few hundred people demonstrating and even the majority agreeing with it.
You're a retard. You can easily look up how many abortion where done in Canada in what trimester.
https://abortionincanada.ca/stats/abortions-by-gestational-age/
Hundreds of babies are aborted after 21 weeks in Canada every year. It is legal and it is being done in Canada. You also pay for it with your tax dollars.
??? Alberta never threatened to leave. Some Facebook groups in Alberta larp as separatists. That's it. Never did the provincial government in Alberta support separatism. And in Quebec separatism is dead since the early 90s. No province in Canada is "threatening to leave the confederacy" once a year.
You are one person. Trump is still hated by the vast majority of Canadians and even the majority of Canadian Conservatives.
You spent too much time on thedonald.win. This is proven that you can't even find and connect to Canadian protest movements. You are alone and all you consumed is Conservative American media. Your perception of what Canadian politics are and what they are about are just wrong.
Maybe if you keep watching the CBC, that will be true. The protests are happening everywhere. Thousands of people. I was able to find the ones in Quebec and Ontario before I was able to find the ones in Alberta.
I straight up went and did the math you should have done before posting that source.
74.7% of abortions happened before the second trimester. Only 4% happened afterwards. A shocking 21.3% weren't reported. And there were only 17,421 abortions provided and reported.
This means only 697 abortions provided after the second trimester. (it gave me a fraction by the way. You can't have .84 of an abortion)
Canada has a population of 37 million people.
All of that is in line with what I said.
Do you even verify your sources before you post them?
Kenney ran on the platform of putting forth papers to leave the confederacy. Granted, Kenney is a cuck who isn't going to do it, but that doesn't mean It isn't a real issue on the docket, and it'll only gain steam if things continue.
That's one conversation away from changing.
Can't help but notice you abandoned your talking points about freedom of speech, or the right to bear arms. Could it be because you realized you were wrong?
Again. Find some practical differences and we'll keep talking, champ.
endthelockdowns.com appears to be unowned. But, I found the Angry Albertan. Thanks.
