Canada is at it's finest, pragmatic and reasonably tolerant. Free of ideology. But to us old pharts, it's not the country of youth. It's not the Orange Order going after the French speaking Catholic Metis, anymore.

You must live in a very different Canada than the one in which I live.
On the other end of the country, we have BC pursuing policies with free drugs and their own versions of native reconciliation driven by a left leaning government (granted there were no treaties in this province).
I would call it a far-left government, not left leaning.

Canada is.....dysfunctional at best. A huge,vast country with more resources per capita than pretty much anywhere. A once self sufficient country that has frittered away economic independance, our patriotic social identity, our military, our borders, our manufacturing, immigration policies, et al., tied up and strangled by regulation and wokeness.
Canada has abandoned any vision of independant destiny in favor of Globalization. Globalist billionaires have been allowed/invited a heavily increasing influence in domestic gov't policy. They see nothing more than a pile of resources for the taking and a gov't that thrives on shiny trinkets, beads, pat on the head accolades and is giving away the farm to get them.
We are at a point in history where if we don't take measures to reclaim our independance and self sufficiency we will be overun by outside interests. Globalists have set foot on our shores, already have their hands in our pie. It needs to stop. If we don't assert control of our destiny we will lose it. We will then understand how Native people felt when whites showed up and they welcomed these strange newcomers.. History repeats itself, quite apparent we don't learn from it.. It's happening right before our eyes. We are being lied to and decieved.
Edit to add, It has come to the point we need to protect the country from our government.
great post!

bushrat,
You could easily have started your correct analysis with this, and been spot on and accurate:
The USA is.....
I truly feel sorry for young people these days, what a chit show!

Spoken like a brainwashed left liberal.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Trying to interpret what Downwinddipshit says is difficult at best, I often wonder wtf....but think its safe to say what he thinks and what he pens is exactly what the problem is.
Peaceful, no Alamo, no civil war. Only the Riel Rebelion.
See....The Battle of Vimy Ridge. Many will say it defined us as a nation. It was not a peaceful event . Our forefathers just did their duty Lookup ,WW1 and WW2. These are the other war stories we listened to as youngsters. Imagine , a Canadian Storm Trooper crossing no man's land to raid a German, WW1 Trench . Closer to home, The Richard Riots, Eddie Shore, Gordie Howe. This is our heritage. I could go on and on and on.
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, not a peaceful event. There are many events in our history that were brutal. The crushing of the Truckers protest in Ottawa just being the most recent example.

A train loaded with protesters from BC headed to Ottawa in 1935 made it to Saskatchewan before they got shot up by the RCMP.

RHM; Good afternoon sir, I hope the day in your part of the world is behaving and you're well.
The "Regina Riot" was another instance where the RCMP investigated themselves and were absolved of wrongdoing....
Also there was the general strike on the CPR in 1883, the then still NWMP broke the strike on behalf of the company..
"They defused many of the tensions involving the construction workers and the company, including intervening to resolve cases where the workers had not been paid by the company as promised, but they also intervened to support the railway company.
[82] When the railway staff went on strike for higher wages in 1883, the mounted police guarded the company's trains, escorted in new drivers and, when necessary, drove the locomotives themselves; two years later the police broke up a protest over unpaid wages by over a thousand construction workers, arresting the main leaders.
[83] The head of the Canadian Pacific Railway, William Van Horne, thanked the force for its contribution to the final completion of the project"
Anyways, a smooth historic road has not always been had here.
Yes, Canada is a great country and It has the potential to excede all others. If, in my opinion... 1)Canadian's move more toward , not away from Christianity 2)We must amend our Federal Parlimentary system to include proportional voter representation. Folks, it is worth a shot.
