Sovereingty is non-negotiable. You dont give it up under any circumstance, and if someone threatens to take it away, you do like the Ukrainains did to the Russians, you lock and load. Whether that person trying to take it away is a foreign power, or your fucking neighbor. (A traitor)
this is no joking matter. The world is under attack in many places at once by factions that are objectively fascist in nature. the Trump 2.0 MAGA crowd, The Russian Mafia State, The whole Elon Musk Megalomaniac Autistic Billionare trying to change the world thing, Multiple political parties that are subservient to foreign governments, (AfD, NR, Fidesz, SMER, Canadian PPC, and probably the CPC at this rate. and many more)
people with the civic and legal understanding of a 1st grader can pout all they want about how they want
RussiaAmerica to come to their homes and take overUkraineCanada because of whatever tinpot reason they boiled up in their drunken rage conversation about bathroom signs on the internet, but understand, there are people who will Kill to prevent that if push came to shove.yes, yes, I’m sure Ontario gives a shit. I don’t.
Then you’re a fuckin idiot.
I’m curious which country/company is going to vanish him like a whistleblower.
I’m curious what in the hell the federal government has done in anyone’s lifetime to engender any pride in this country. Canada isn’t a people, it’s a federal government, the maple leaf, their symbol. Disregarding the off chance there may be a WW2 veteran lurking here, name one thing “Canada” has done to be proud of since 1970. Not something some guy did, not something some hockey players did, one thing that atrocious excuse for a federal government has ever done to instill any pride in their people, that wasn’t fucking propaganda exercises. All I can think of is legalizing gays and hiding Vietnam draftees.
Man get the fuck out of here
I mean if I’m allowed to have a non true or false pride and can have some level of granularity, I’m proud of a lot of things.
I think we’ve done pretty good with national pharmacare, and dental care. I know its not perfect, and it came to slow, and the roll out wasn’t great, but I have pride in the fact that were offering it.
I’m proud of the way we extended the way EI covers maternity and sick leave in the 1970s.
I’m proud of the legalisation of marijuana, because it now means that people have access to a product that gets tested for quality and health concerns.
Sure none of it is perfect, but I’ll take 30% of what it should be as long as its a start. If we wait for perfection well never get anywhere. We just have to keep striving for better.
Out of curiosity, what kinds of things would a federal government have done to make you feel this sense of pride you’re looking for? Are there any governments anywhere that have accomplished that task?
A real charter of rights and freedoms, and a government not composed of people who think their job is to continually erode year by year every citizens’ rights and privileges. There’s a few out there like that, not many.
Based on the track record of the US trying to roll back rights at a federal level and make them handled on a state level, wouldn’t we be basically in the same boat of our rights being eroded?
Honest question, have you thought about joining an organisation locally that advocated for the changes that you would like to see? They say the first step to change is local change. I know municipal and provincial government is less buzz worthy but it impacts people daily a lot more.
Free clue: Trump doesn’t mean 90% of what he says. He’s just a real-world troll who enjoys stirring up shit and watching people run around. Despite his bloviations, most of what he claims he would like to do, he ain’t gonna be able to, and based on his previous track record he’s going to have forgotten half of it in a year’s time anyway.
If you genuinely want to live in a country run by someone like that, I suggest you emigrate and stop bothering those of us who actually want to live in this country. Y’know, the one that doesn’t have mass shootings so often that they no longer reliably make the national news, among other things.
Braid is an idiot of the highest order, but I agree with him here. That said, I highly doubt that orange douche nozzle would actually go through with something like this
