My dad immigrated here in the 60s when Portugal still had the Estado Novo regime. The Salazar regime folded in 1974.

My dad is the way he is because he never learned about the American revolution, French revolution, The Enlightenment, liberal democracy, etc. in 1950s Portugal when he was in school. They didn't teach these things under a fascist dictatorship. In his mind, he saw America and Canada as freedom and opportunity. That's it. He never learned the core of what liberty is. He just sees that Canada is more free than 1960s Portugal and more free than modern China and for that he thinks that we should feel grateful for that.

Thing is if we don't defend our liberty, we could one day become China. Hell we could literally be annexed by China. This is a concept that is lost on even people who were born, raised and educated here.

But since I was born and raised in Canada and learned about the American revolution, French revolution, the Enlightenment, liberal democracy, libertarianism, etc. live free or die is a concept I understand. This is why education is important. But quality education. Modern public education is just indoctrination camps. The vast majority of what I learned about liberal democracy was from what I read online.

My dad is not tech savvy. He doesn't know how to use the internet. He gets his news from CP24 and CNN. He is a product of his upbringing.
