This is true, and another commenter above said why. Edmonton and Calgary would vote against it regardless. It would be near impossible to get the people of one of those cities on board. Nobody pays attention to how AB is screwed by the feds, and people are low information voters.
There isn't a more appropriate word for this guy.
Your point about anti Trump sentiment among women is true. You're right that it is because of Clinton campaigns to frame her as a feminist icon. I would add both Michelle Obama and Oprah to that as well, middle aged Canadian women worship them both as strong inspiring women. Despite the fact that Michelle did nothing of any importance but be the last president's wife!
You're also right about the senate, but it hardly matters since the senate barely does anything in Canada, and should be disbanded.
I apologize on behalf of millennials because there apparently there isn't anything the government can that is disastrous enough to collectively wake us the fuck up and start having sensible political positions.
I apologize on behalf of Atlantic Canadians who, I hate to say it, are not unfamiliar with free government money and living in relative poverty because its the easiest thing to do. I don't know how 60% of them expect to live as fucking wards of the state as the world shuts down around them, christ how bad to things have to get on the east coast for them to realize the government is the problem, it's not the solution.
Overall optimistic then, that's good. I am a millennial man myself and experienced first hand the effects of the modern university environment. I saw the post modernist/Marxist/feminist ideology take hold pretty strongly when I was in my senior years, when all the old professors were retiring and being replaced with young, inexperienced, predominantly female ideologues.
Millennials took it on the chin with the cultural degeneracy over the last twenty years, hell I went down that path myself when I was a young university student, the foolish beliefs about gender, sexuality, and "intersectionality". The professors know that they can undermine your beliefs because few 18 year olds have thought long and hard about where they stand and why, they have no perspective. So first they undermine your beliefs, they call it "deconstruction" but it is really just another word for destruction. Then they rebuild your world view with their political and social "theories" or ideologies, and you don't even know it is happening, but your beliefs have changed radically.
It didn't take long for me to come out of it toward the end of my education. Their ideas didn't hold water, I saw reality with my eyes and it did not correspond to their theories. It helped that I came from a rural area and spent lots of time in the woods, hunting, fishing, etc, and I noticed that most of the liberal arts crowd were mentally ill, damaged young people and didn't know where else to go, and so they wound up in a sociology program.
I became an undercover rightwinger, because I wore the skinny jeans (I love 70s rock music) and the denim jacket, but when a political conversation came up I'd be ostracized from the lefty cliques. I learned the hard way who my friends were. I haven't had much experience with the Gen Z crowd, but I would say that rural vs. urban is pretty good indicator of based vs woke, at least among young men.
Damn those were my thoughts exactly. Here she was all bright eyed, one can imagine her thinking "here I am doing my part, I am a good person" blindly optimistic and foolishly trusting the government with her own health and safety. If you think the state of women has deteriorated, what do you make of the current state of young men? Christ they can't attend school, university, or work in an office anywhere without being feminized.
Regardless of what it is or who it is, I think we must be approaching collapse. I mean how much degeneracy can one society and culture endure before it is has just rotted from the inside out? We used to believe in things, fight for them, defend them, but now our daughters are on antidepressants and are selling their pussies on Onlyfans for spending money for the weekends, our sons are demoralized, demotivated, hooked on porn and aimless, they go to university and they're told that their whiteness and maleness makes them bad boys and they should feel bad. Where does it end? Our very own prime minister either thinks Canada has no mainstream culture and he is a stupid fool, or he knows better and wants to eradicate that culture and he's a malicious radical with ill intent. Most Canadians take our relatively free and affluent lives for granted, walk around with our heads up our asses, couldn't name the premier or the mayor if you asked them.
Your comments are always high quality and always on the spot. I think you're onto something with the power structure of government, infiltrated by lobbyists, and funded by foreign billionaires and NGOs. There are all sorts of theories regarding endgame if there is a global cabal of wealthy people with a power/money/control agenda. It really puts your daily life into perspective.
I have long since believed that our institutions are actually intended to serve us. What deflates me is that I don't know if any meaningful resistance can be formed. There is no freedom loving billionaire that is willing to get involved to represent the freedom and liberty of the individual, and there is no political leader with the will to do so either. I think this is why the Trump fight is so important to a lot of people, he represents to them the last fight against globalism and corporate domination.
It is really isolating to think and believe that so much of the world we live in are meaningless hamster wheels, mazes, dead ends, pointless endeavors, working toward outcomes that are never ours to determine. It is deeply frustrating to the individual, and demoralizing to the people as there is a sense of "nothing to live for." Worst of all, where is the fight?
There is no fight in Canada I can tell you that, I don't know the last time we had it as a nation, our identity is premised on anti-Americanism, and that belies a deep insecurity and emptiness of our own understanding of our country and its history. I don't know what it takes for regular people to wake up, we've all walked around with our heads jammed up our asses for decades and decades, now our education system is lost to radical Marxists, university too, the media is a transparent propaganda arm of the government, our social institutions are staffed by bootlicking incompetents, and our morally bankrupt leadership is bought and paid for, and Canadians are none the wiser, couldn't be happier, enjoy product, anticipate next product.
What a pussy. Christ sake, just say "I think Canadians are done feeling bad about that" and you've got every conservative from BC to NL onboard in one sentence. There is no conservative party in this country.
These are my thoughts exactly. I also think, well wouldn't the cultural elites that complain about this nonsense rather that these so called oppressed groups have some sort of representation? That's their hame right, representation, diversity, and all that? Well all they've managed to accomplish by complaining is get native art removed from helmets, jerseys, team logos, team names, etc. Pretty soon there won't be a single reference to anything native at all. Just wait until these chucklefucks learn where the highway names in Alberta come from.
CCP have infiltrated governments in Canada at every level starting at City Halls across the country. We've known about this for over a decade, our own CSIS warned the federal government at the time who did nothing then, and fail to do anything now. This is because they've been co-opted: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/government-infiltrated-by-spies-csis-boss-says/article4392618/
Take a look at the all the property CCP affiliated Chinese are buying in our major cities, most obviously Vancouver and Toronto. Not just residential investments either, but ports, mines, companies, etc. The CCP is aiming to undermine its enemies and turn ourselves inward against one another, further weakening us to their influence and money. We're already down that road my friend, and too many of us fail to see it.
spam, report
I know right! I had that thought exactly after watching it. A whole camera crew, actors, lights, sound people, director, producer, how many people together? I suppose they spent a good chunk of tax payer money testing everyone each day before shooting.
It would be a good speech if I thought h believed a single word of it. You know it was written and rehearsed because he didn't stutter.
Fucking state funded media, defund the entire operation it has been utter shit for 30 years. CBC was only ever good for getting the news and Fred Penner to rural Canadians in the 80s. Since the late 90s it has been shitty radio specials and lefty woke propaganda for the Liberal party.
That money is gone and the feds are never going to get it back. I am aware of some bums and addicts already on welfare and never worked, who lied on the easily scammed online application and got $8000 to $10,000 from CERB, you can guess what they spent it on.
I came from Atlantic Canada and I will stand as at least one example of a conservative, I can't speak for anyone else.
Go ahead and start downvoting boys.
Keep it together man, you aren't going to accomplish anything going out that way. Unfortunately, we're in an information war that only one side acknowledges fighting. Most people haven't paid attention for as long as you have, most people aren't aware of the direction our society is going, they take our great freedoms and rights and way of life for granted. What we need is people becoming conscious at the same time, and I know a lot of regular ass people who only just now getting to the point of directing their frustration toward our government because of the stress and pain of COVID restrictions.
I mean say what you want about it, there was a time in history where there were restrictions on voting, and there were reasons for those restrictions. At one point in time you had to own property in order to vote, and that is one of the reasons why women did not have the vote, the deeds were not in their names.
Age restrictions make sense, I would say the voting age should increased, but I am partial to the argument that men that can join the army and fight in a war at least ought to have the right to vote. I don't think prisoners should vote, I don't think ex-convicts should vote, but I see the need for being specific here.
You're probably right to be concerned about convictions for bogus crimes disenfranchising the vote among a targeted group, we all see how left wing some of the courts are, both in the US and in Canada. Perhaps loss of the vote should be dependent on the crime?
yeah, how about fuck em? Too many people get to vote as it is. Voting is a responsibility, not a fucking fashion statement. Christ, there are efforts to decrease the voting age to 16 because we all know how those morons would vote, the same way I would when I was 16, like an young, unwise, inexperienced, idiot.
I absolutely detest the fake, folksy, nice Canadian. Imagine being known for being nice. I just imagine the passive aggression in grocery store aisles as these restrictions continue with no end in sight and become increasingly authoritarian. What is the breaking point for the average Canadian? Many people I know are in denial still but are increasingly angry at society because if people "just followed the rules and did what they wanted us to do we wouldn't be in this situation!" I mean how naive, most people still think the government has their best interest in mind.
There is no other fight back against this that is going through court right now, so I am donating to this one. Sooner or later this gets the supreme court, but this is Canada so who the hell knows which way it goes.
We need some natives who are unwilling to follow restrictions, see the media's heads explode as they can't figure out figure out what position to take.
lol don't tell Trudeau, he wants to be loved by Europe, and if they're locking down gosh darn it, Canada will too!
