Percentage saying they’re ‘very proud’ to be Canadian has dropped from 78% to 34% since 1985 December 13, 2024 – The years since the onset of COVID-19 have been a well-documented period of division and discord in this country, with Canadians expressing concerns about the lack of a “middle” option politically, an unwillingness from governments...
You’ve got a lot of vague disdain for the state of Canada, but offer next to nothing when it comes to specific issues. Who is “they,” and what culture is it that you perceive “they” have taken from us?
You certainly have not explained anything beyond showing a vague hatred for the government, and a deeply held belief that they’re somehow responsible for killing any sense of a national body. Perhaps you’ve explained yourself in detail in another conversation, but I was certainly not aware of it.
Maybe I can ask more directly: What do you think makes Canada uniquely Canada? Ignoring the whos, whys and hows, what do you believe we have lost, culturally speaking?
I’m always interested in conversations about opinions contradictory to my own, but I do not need to suffer direct insults to my character.
I’m not obligated to go backwards through your entire post history, particularly if it’s filled with the kind of vitriol present in this conversation. I don’t need to sift through intellectually void shit in the misguided belief that maybe, there’s a nugget of gold in there. If you feel like you made a clear, succinct statement in post to someone else, in some other thread, a two second copy paste of something you know you said, or a link as I usually do, is all that’s necessary. If you don’t want to do that, not responding, or saying you’re too exhausted by and/or don’t care about this conversation is plenty.
Your desire to continually speak with such disdain towards anyone who disagrees with you, and your unwillingness to approach conversation with civility says a lot more than your words. Either you don’t want to be understood and this conversation isn’t in good faith, or you have no idea what actually upsets you. You’re just repeating the same baseless, vapid talking points you’ve been spoon-fed, and I’ve begun to suspect that the goal here is just to spread hate.
If I wanted repitition, I’d be plenty satisfied by now. Hilariously, and ironically, despising politicians with no true understanding of what they’ve done or why is a very uniquely Canadian position, so I’d argue that our culture is alive and well.
With every bit of respect as a human being, and none as a thinker, please take your misinformed, poorly reasoned opinion back into whatever safe-space echo chamber allowed it to ferment in the first place. Or, recognize that most people will not share your identical thoughts, and you might have to figure out how to treat others with respect as you work to understand each other. Your pick.

This one is. We don’t even have a culture, they made sure of that.

Gee. I wonder why that is. Maybe I’ve explained at length and you’re kinda fucking stunned to be asking that at this point.

I guess I just assume you’re a troll and move on with my life. At least I can say I tried to understand. Have a good one.
