Canada is a failed state

I've been saying this for years. Canadians are polite on the surface but snarky and gossipy behind people's backs. From my other experiences, Californians are straight up rude (worse than Canadians by a long shot) but Texans are straight up nice (apologize for things, greet strangers, go out of their way to help people). The 'Canadians are nice' thing is a stereotype (though other countries are far worse, obviously).

I can’t speak to Texans specifically but what I find within America, personally and from other peoples stories, is that true Yankees (Northeast, West Coast, Lacustrine cities) are aggressive dickheads (not friendly, not polite) and then Midwesterners and Southerners are reverses in that neither is truly unfriendly or impolite like Yankees but Midwesterners are more friendly while Southerners are more polite.

English people are polite but actively unfriendly. Mormons and Fargolanders probably both friendly and polite, which is what I’ve always pictured Canadians as.

It's like how most African Americans can't trace their ancestral lineages, it makes them as a group very insecure, their culture is just borrowed from mainstream America, and they have to rely on the broad notion of Blackness and slavery as the basis of their identity.

I have often thought of Blacks as being unhappy when taken out of their ethnic homeland and culture. Somebody here once compared it to the guy (some famous dude) that remarked on how alienated emancipated Jew is compared to the one on the shtetl. Theyre better off when they live in the rural South and think of their world in those terms. Loosely tying it back to my other reply, the ones up North are often said to be rude and hostile, the ones down here friendly and warm (even if still dysfunctional as a culture). What first got me brooding on it years ago was how many Yankees I’d hear say that, and shocked when moving here.

I remember reading that most people in Nova Scotia were down to take up arms too with Massachusetts and New York,, but the regional elites were successful in preventing it. Quebec was, well, just Quebec. It didn't care that the Anglos were murdering each other.

It’s because the northern colonies were underpopulated (tons of free real estate) so the going was still good.

Besides Quebec which didn’t join the revolution because the non-loyalist Americans were Protestants that were even more intolerant to Catholics than the British elites.

A lot of the Middle Colonists weren’t even jazzed about the Patriots for that reason. Germans that had good reason to fear Yankee intolerance (just look at Benjamin Franklin’s view of them as a sort of carpetbagger in Pennsylvania). Quakers whose pacifism made them very unpopular during the Revolution years.

They mostly sat the War out while it raged in New England (as an independence war) and the South (as a civil war).

So, can anyone explain what the deal is with those soldiers trying to "cease land" around QC? What does that even mean, since the media haven't bothered explaining?

I don't really trust the CBC to give the full story. The severe lack of details hints there's a lot of important context they are omitting which justifies or explains what actually happened.

It truly serves as a stark reminder of how far Canada has fallen and half the population fails to even realize it. Tim Hortons serves as a microcosm of what happened to the nation: taken over by an international conglomerate, filled with TFWs from the subcontinent, and see a precipitous drop in quality of both product and service. Yet the customer is always the problem because they dare have the audacity to askant later demand for the bare minimum. I don't remember who posted a link to that article on the underlying flaws of Indian "civilization" but Canada has developed a similar culture. Canadian politics have created a culture of grift for decades--possibly since the beginning of confederation. We have a bloated bureaucracy, countless special interest groups (often in the guise of NGOs), and cronies looking to bleed the taxpayer dry. Meanwhile, the establishment media downplays--if not downright suppresses--the scale of the graft to keep the guileless proles ignorant and the RCMP and judiciary is too politicized to hold the Laurentian con artists accountable.

Canada has become a place where demanding better from your government is unacceptable. The broader culture expects you to not only accept your miserable lot, but to be grateful for it. You should feel privileged that the federal government is racking up record deficits and handing the bill to future generations while importing the entirety of Punjab to defecate in our streets and creep on white women. What's worse if that everything about this country feels completely artificial. @Flan Handler noted how astroturfed our arts and culture scene is. Our recent federal election and outpouring of so-called patriotism was nothing more than a marketing campaign that the Liberals dropped all pretense after they received the desired result. Elbows up from November to April and it's been knees down since May. Carney spent more time deferring to Trump and acting as little more than a sycophant during his visit to the White House and later at G7.

Canada can't be saved in its current form, nor should it be because it was built on a foundation of exploitation and lies born from resentment. We aren't better than the Americans. We're worse. Much, much worse. It requires a structural change that gives better representation to the western half of this country with severe restrictions on the powers of the executive and the federal government. That will never happen because there are too many special interests that benefit from this rapidly-eroding establishment. The only real option may be to end this failed experiment altogether.
