Canada is a failed state

This is a little bit off topic to the more serious matters being discussed in this thread. But I was talking to my boomer dad a few days ago and he started talking about Olivia Chow.

He mentioned something about Jack Layton actually dying of AIDS or developing a secondary cancer associated with people with AIDS which is why they never revealed the "new type of cancer" he died of. The thing is, back in 2011 despite me being politically apathetic I thought the cancer never being named was a bit unusual. Jack was fond of Asian women and sex parlors and got arrested for sleeping with or getting hand jobs from prostitutes apparently more than once.

He also talked about how they both lived in public housing in Toronto despite making 100k a year in 1990. Which was either illegal to do or just damn unethical.

I see Olivia Chow decided to bulldoze the latest church homeless encampment in her city. Kind of at odds with her and her dad husbands faux left of center politics, don't you think?

I don't live in toronto but this woman, her history and her dead husband seem shady as Hell.


Layton was the stereotypical, and cliched all-Canadian elite rich kid. After a stint in Laurentia he became one of Toronto's most pre-eminent shit flingers on city council for 20 years.

Yes him and his wife did get busted living in some very nice co-op housing for poor people. Their doctorate level academic rationale was that nice, rich and fancy people should live in co-op housing too in order for socialized housing to become desirable in Canadian communities. He announced this concept that as a standard white, wealthy Canadian of *significant* pedigree and education he is entitled, if not obligated, to also steal from the poor like the rest of his ilk... doing so in a serious and heart-felt matter without shame or contrition.

During the election cycle Layton got caught at one of Canada's few ultra-private healthcare clinics for the elite right after Paul Martin did too. Harper quipped "I think I'm the only leader here who actually uses their health card". Zing.

With any luck Layton did died of AIDS and is burning in hell. Just look at his ugly-as-shit wife and his boarding school rich kid upbringing where there is oh so much time for your curiosities with your fellows and no girls allowed. This petty, vicious, thieving little cock-sucker went out and sucked the dick of the Canadian electorate and was able to magically transform into a somehow acceptable federal politician, then he magically transformed into some sort of incredible Canadian folk hero upon his death despite his actual life. An outsider may call this yet another shining example of the Canadian aristocracy engaged in life long faggotry while stealing from the poor... something Trudeu has honored like no other to this day. But this is what it actually means to be a great Canadian, in terms of a Canadian history textbook... and it was probably never any different.
 
Was he walking barefoot or something? Poor fuck.
It's just a joke about how many open drug users there are there. Though I'm sure some poor bastard has gotten HIV from a dirty street needle there at least once.
“Fuck buddy, how’d I get back to timmies” most relatable thing yet.
There are so many!!!
 
I never would have thought that this SC2 video, from 2016, and the casters ranting about Trump vs. Trudeau comparisons, ended up aging like fermented shit:


The Socialism part aged badly too, seeing how Venezuela and Argentina shit the bed hard, doing just that.

And going back to Canada itself, who would have thought that "safe injection sites" would not be safe, at all. (Archived) I wonder who's blood boils harder when reading stories about dumb shit like this happening in Canada, Canadians themselves, or people from the outside watching.

This shit is so profoundly 'online Canadian'. Like being batshit obsessed with US politics and the American zeitgeist elevates them to the level of being uniquely informed and morally superior. Yet zero practical or theoretical knowledge of the ruling class in Canada or it's objectives. All the smug libfags Canada produces seem to see themselves as some sort of special citizen of liberal America and believe America is just dying to hear of their approval or disapproval.

Most greedy and warlike people I've ever known are American liberals and they all call Canada gay and retarded on a regular basis. Why Canadian "online" liberals pretend in their minds that they have any affinity with US liberals, I have no fucking clue. Suppose its the only way to cope with being completely powerless twit in Canada. I hope those two faggots are now sucking pajeet dicks just to get a day old dumpster bagel from Tim Hortons now that Canada is a WEF gold star in immorality.

Canadian libfags view themselves as special "global citizens" and operate under the delusion that the rest of the world looks to us an example of model governance. It astounds me to witness how many defend their asinine opinions (particularly toward environmental policy) by saying that we must set an example for everyone else when the rest of the world ignores us. Our inept Minister of Foreign Affairs once bragged that Canada is a country that convenes and establishes dialogues, only to later lament that Canada needs to gain for influence on the world stage. They have no clue that Canada exists on the margins of world affairs because we lack the military and economic influence to even make a small ripple. All of Justin's appearances at international gatherings like the G7/20 are all performance art at best.

An example of precisely what not to do.

Canada will be a new Argentina, mark my words.

Canadas current problems arent even being discussed, which is the sad part to me.

People are now talking about the housing crisis (when weve been in one for the past half decade) because its affecting themselves (aka the shrinking laptop class) personally. Even a decade ago, I remember housing in Toronto being absurdly priced for what it was worth, compared to other similar global cities.

But this is all besides the point. People need jobs, and youth need hope that they can get jobs. Why does affordable housing even matter much when you can't find a job out of retail or temping? Affordable for who? All this stuff if frankly geared towards the laptop class to please them, and it was only once they were personally affected because they imported 500,000 Indians that it gained national headlines.

Jobs that exist in companies without HR departments and tech or banking connections don't really exist. Is the blue collar even a relevant thing any longer in much of Canada?
Consigned myself that Canada was undergoing singaporeanization, where Asian and Indian techies and upper class folk move in to basically become a new dominant caste, and talk about liberal values when they, themselves, are parasitic at their core-

but I digress. Theres just few to no jobs in Canada that don't involve something tech or finance related at this point, and everyone is competing for the same ones to the point that basic jobs have 500+ applicants in a few weeks

Canada's future is going to look similar to this, at best, with a liberal laptop class praising progressive talking points on women's liberation to enter the workforce (on the backs of maids) not realizing the irony or how many were displaced or desperate at the bottom

Or well actually be Argentina if things go really bad.

True, I think its some kind of mass narcissism psychosis. The world stage clownshow Trudeau puts on for some kind of attention really diverged from the usual quiet, background bit player Canada is. If Canada is not going to be quiet and needs to constantly make desperate scenes for attention, it can't sit at the adult table.

You see this with the moronic environmental agenda and climate arguments. I've even heard some dopey boomer denialists deciding the issues are real now because it appeals to their inherent self-obsession that they could somehow tip the scales on planet earth. Nothing Canada or any Canadian has done is going to contribute to any global ecological issue. There are no plastic islands in the Pacific Ocean made with Canadian plastic or plastic used by Canadians. But now that shopping bags and drinking straws are banned Canada-wide, is the world fixed?

Canada has zero impact on climate change if there is any such thing because Canada has no significant industry and is incapable of contributing to anything at scale either positively or negatively. When chemical fertilizer and methods of farming not approved by the WEF are criminalized and every Canadian sits down to their daily bowl of crickets will the world become a utopia due to Canada's new found mandatory national cuisine? An alarming number of Canadians will believe so. The rest will just crunch away on their own moral superiority.

Not really. I suspect that libtards are embarrassed of our history as hewers of wood and drawers of water and wish to hide it in the same way that that a Hollywood starlet would hide her past as a bumpkin from rural Alabama back in the 1920s. They may try to appeal to Ontario's automotive or Quebec's construction industries because of the unions, but you're shit out of luck if you're a logger from British Columbia, a rig worker from Alberta, or a farmer from Saskatchewan. You saw the white-collar trash's reaction to the truckers when they parked their rigs in downtown Ottawa. Oh, it's fine when some Palestinian hurls nazi slogans, but Odin forbid the trucker who delivers their food to the supermarket sets up a bouncy castle on Wellington Avenue.

Our so-called Laurentian "betters" believe that "their" nation is too civilized for the menial labor of resource extraction or heavy industry that doesn't fit their vision. It's why they are making the hard push to set (unconstitutional) production caps on O&G and restrict fertilizer usage in the agriculture sector while using Soviet-style command economy tactics to establish their own boutique industries at exorbitant cost.

Your comparison to Argentina is an apt one, but I would throw in shades of Venezuela in there as well.

People call this the darkest timeline, but it's more like Caddyshack, slobs vs the snobs. We have a society where many people believe that having upper-crust beliefs will make them rich and famous. That agreeing with the smart guy on tv, means they are smart as well. Look at our literary output, we champion high literature with feminist themes, because we can be just as classy as New York. We have film festival! That kind of sucks. But look at what things Canadian's find popular Letterkenny and fucking Red Green. Bon Cop Bad Cop was the last Canadian movie I have ever heard anyone talk about, and that was almost 20 years ago.

I deal with an individual who parrots Reddit, TikTok and the bird site without fail, all day everyday, and he is very much a status seeking individual. He so desperately wants to be high class, to be an elite, but in reality, he's a hillbilly who believes the man on the tv uncritically.

Friendly reminder - one of the “Greatest Works of Canadian Literature” is about a Woman who fucks a Bear. The Shit’s in the Woods kind, not the Big Hairy Dude kind.

Yeah I’d rather we have no culture beyond Hockey.

I was gonna mention that in my last comment but forgot about it. As well, Canada's other most famous novel "The Handmaid's Tale." Is Margaret Atwood's fap fantasy about her getting knocked up by Ronald Reagan as a member of his harem, and nothing you say will convince me that book is about anything else.

Re literature: I have a friend who is trying to get his fantasy epic published in Canada, but isn't having any luck because all Canadian publishing houses want are “non contemporary” works about how hard it is to be a black injun tranny

This hits me in the feels because I self-published my book, which falls under the speculative fiction classification (which includes sci-fi and fantasy, but keeping it vague so as to not power level too much) for that reason. While there are many notable Canadian sci-fi/fantasy authors, Canada isn't really renowned in those genres worldwide outside of the the aforementioned Handmaiden's Tale. The only other example that comes to mind is Robert J. Sawyer's FlashForward, which was adapted into a television series that lasted one season on ABC. I find it ironic as Vancouver gained the nickname "Stargate City" because of all the American sci-fi series filmed in the city and Paramount filmed Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds in Toronto.

It comes down to what @OutInTheRain said: slobs vs. snobs. Our Laurentian idiots betters still see speculative fiction as too crude to be of any cultural value. The Handmaid's Tale only gets the attention it does from them because Margaret Atwood's other work is viewed as highbrow. I see this reflected in the current-year Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which has largely became an irrelevant relic that caters to a vanishingly-small audience centered around downtown Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Hell, the CBC hasn't even produced a a sci-fi series of note since Space Command in the 1950s. Most actors in the genre like James Doohan and William Shatner and directors like James Cameron and David Cronenberg went to the United States to further their careers.

Granted, much of that has to with the fact that the United States is that largest market with the most career opportunities. However, Canada offers no real incentive for talented people to stay, which is the current brain drain is ongoing.

The only good CBC show is Heartland. Apparently the books are supposed to be set in Virginia yet the show is really good being set in Alberta.

Also relevant rant about the State of Canada from "Old White Guy"

 
But look at what things Canadian's find popular Letterkenny and fucking Red Green.

I'm amazed how ubiquitous Trailer Park Boys references are in corners of the Internet present day. Considering the show's original run ended decades ago on Showcase. And Showcase doesn't even produce original series anymore.

Having a second life on streaming services must account for it. I haven't seen a TPB rerun on TV in forever.

It's also probably more of a reflection of a Canadian product that actually broke through internationally. I can't recall the last time I experienced someone refer to TPB IRL.

Mostly being facetious, but Kevin Costner's Field of Dreams is based on a short story written by an author from BC named W.P. Kinsella titled Shoeless Joe.

I liked Letterkenny till it couldn't help itself but get fucking political, like all Canadian TV.
 
Well, the feds extended unlimited work hours for foreign students, because of course they did. It was supposed to expire in January. Now it's only through April, but how much you want to bet they extend it again? So Sukhdeep, Harvinder, and Gurpreet can keep on undermining our wages and driving up our cost of living while 'studying' for a diploma in Public Affairs at Brampton Upstairs International College #6849.
