Canada is a failed state

r/Canada is already right winging as fuck. Anyone with a brain is revolting secretly. Once it becomes socially acceptable to revolt openly and it will slowly, shit will collapse quickly.

I hadn't been to r/Canada in years. At least since all the COVID agitprop was still in full gear.

It does seem more centrist than I recall on a quick browse.

Though the one thread I opened had a bunch of "Well, I Never..." moralfagging about someone spitting on Marco Mendicino.

I remember some discussion earlier in this thread about what exactly counts as a 'failed state'.

One element is the failure to prosecute crime- one of the very basic expectations of a functioning state. A marker of a failed state would be vigilantism in cases where the state legal system is inept or complicit. For example:

Businessman killed in Toronto triple shooting defrauded hundreds of victims, netted at least $100-million, records show (can't archive)

A businessman shot dead in an altercation with a former client on Monday victimized hundreds of people through myriad enterprises that sparked three major police operations, netted at least $100-million and triggered dozens of lawsuits, according to interviews and court records.

For all that, Arash Missaghi seemed immune from consequence. His voluminous court records show no convictions, no jail time and no successful lawsuits against him in Canada, while providing few – if any – indications why criminal charges against him were withdrawn on multiple occasions.

His streak of impunity ended on Monday afternoon when one of his alleged victims, Alan Kats, penned a suicide note before confronting Mr. Missaghi at his Toronto office. A subsequent triple shooting left Mr. Missaghi and an associate, Samira Yousefi, dead. Mr. Kats took his own life, according to his widow.

Wife of Don Mills gunman says 2 victims allegedly defrauded family of life savings (archive)

The wife of a gunman in a fatal Toronto shooting says he believed the two victims were behind an alleged mortgage investment scheme that defrauded their family.

In a statement released by her lawyers, Alisa Pogorelovsky says her husband Alan Kats – who also died in the shooting –”could not handle losing our life savings and that is what lead to this tragic event.”

Police have identified the victims of Monday’s shooting as 54-year-old Arash Missaghi and 44-year-old Samira Yousefi, but have not released the name of the 46-year-old shooter.

Court records detail how Pogorelovsky and her husband sued the two people killed in the shooting, and others, after losing $1.28 million in an alleged syndicated mortgage fraud.
In the wake of this week’s shooting, fraud victims have been left to wonder why the authorities were never able to stop Mr. Missaghi.

Alisa Pogorelovsky, Mr. Kats’s widow, said that police, courts and regulatory bodies all dropped the ball in their case, allowing Mr. Missaghi to defraud $1.37-million from the couple. “If he’d gone to jail, this never would have happened,” she said. “Police know about these people and cannot do anything. Nobody can.”
 
It makes me sick to know Canadian courts are no longer about serving justice. It's about serving agenda. Including Supreme Court of Canada. Even if the political landscape changed, Canadian judicial system will not and stand in the way of any kind of fundamental changes necessary to govern. Not because the laws are flawed but executioners are.
 
I saw an interesting video on You Tube that described Canada as three-star hotel charging five-star rates. Personally, I see it as a run-down Super 8 that tries to pass itself off as a Four Seasons. Our politicians want to believe that we are the finest in luxury, but the decor is outdated, the water stains on the ceiling, and all of the amenities minimal or outright nonexistent. Anyway, another point that said YouTuber wanted to make was Canada was a legacy brand in similar way as Coca-Cola. Oh, sure. There are several brands of cola, but most people go for Coke because it's a known quantity. Canada used to be the place to immigrate to for the 20th century and even into the Harper years, but the sheen as obviously come off and now the brand is failing..

There is no point in belaboring the point that mass immigration has distorted the job and housing markets beyond recognition or tearing the social fabric asunder. (Not-so fun fact: Immigration is creating a China/India-level gender imbalance that leads to antisocial and criminal behavior from unmarried young men.) All of the blame should be laid at the feet of the university-educated managerial/consultant class that saw fit to micromanage every facet of public (and even private) life and make Canadian society an experiment.

Canadians won't do menial jobs under horrid conditions for exploitative wages? No problem! Just import millions of brown people so some lily-white federal employee can pay less for a cup of shitty coffee from Tim's. Just to pour salt on the wound, the government will use taxpayer money to give to corporations to subsidize their wages.

Canadians aren't buying overpriced electric vehicles? Just hand out massive corporate subsidies to multinational corporations to build plants and force quotas on car dealerships regardless of actual demand.

And that is the just the tip of the iceberg.

For all the bragging of how Canadians are some of the most educated people on the planet, we have some of the stupidest people calling the shots in government and the civil service. What is more appalling is that the managerial class regard people as numbers or interchangeable cogs as opposed to people with their own thoughts and feelings. They craft policy based on a theoretical framework that suits their own confirmation biased rather than practical knowledge. They force it on the population with such oblivious callousness that I consider it the most banal of evils given their sanctimoniousness. Everything they do is maintain an ecosystem that benefits them alone and screw anyone else who protests.

Honestly? I think Ottawa got off too lightly during the Freedom Convoy. The rest of Canada should do to Ottawa what General William Sherman did to Atlanta.

Considering the death grip The Liberals have on the country I doubt they'll give the country up without a fight.
 
French is the dominant language of business in most of Africa the same way English is the dominant language of business in India. Only about 10% of Indians speak English.

The scale of immigration from India is higher today. However, given rising living standards in India and explosive population growth in Africa that will change.

And by worse I meant in every way but numbers.
Right now India is the problem, and it's been for 5 years. They come here and start insane chain migrations. Surely you've seen that retard kid from Prince Edward Island leading the hunger strike. He tells officials that jobs are jobs, and to please think of poor employers like Tim Hortons.
My man I live in the mid kootenays and the jeets and homeless are infesting my town. Nowhere is fucking safe.

Once Quebec abandoned being Catholic they became commies instead. Your province has nothing to offer this country and all your policies are shit.

Reminder that when you wanted your 'based separatism' you still wanted western provinces to front you equalization payments.
Quebec separatism has always been gay. Quebeckers greatly underestimate how retarded and patronizing their provincial politicians are. People seem to be quick to forget that the only territory in North America with a police-mandated COVID curfew was Quebec. It is very enjoyable to have your non-existent freedoms stepped upon so that a political party's leader can look strong for boomers.

I never understood the complaining equalization though. Doesn't equalization come from federal income tax? Prince Edward Island (which is getting fucked by jeets), Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia all get way more equalization money per capita than Quebec does. There are a bunch of territories in this country that might as well be making no money. Meanwhile, Alberta has barely any provincial taxes to speak of.

And didn't Harper's party work out the current equalization calculations?

Another thing I don't understand, and I believe that's something goes back all the way to the early 2000s. Quebec's premier at the time was complaining that it was degrading to constantly get these Ottawa handouts. Bitching that the federal plays the handout game instead of actually developing industry in the province. Is Quebec artificially being kept poor so they get these handouts every year?
Definitely the worst aspect of modern Quebeckers is that they love to deceive outsiders into thinking their brand of "nationalism" is wholesome and pristine, even if that was objectively true for when the "Union Nationale" reigned supreme in the province. Nowadays, Quebecfags only want to be a 'nation' because they think the rest of Canada isn't secular-vaginal-anal enough. The entire province puts even Greater Toronto to shame when it comes to anti-social faggotry of all stripes. It's so bad that Francos elsewhere in Canada don't want anything to do with Quebec, and who could blame them?
Prince Edward Island is being decimated by the jeet hordes. Ontario is a migratory mess and wildly unaffordable for normal people, I do not recognize some of the municipalities from 10 years ago like Brampton. Quebec is run by two incompetent levels of government and voting is broken because separatism ends up being the single voter issue.

The confederation is broken and is run by a rogue government.

On the matter of Quebec, Quebec breaks the confederation too because they tend to be the swing territory every party tries to appeal to. A bunch of the western territories just vote conservative no matter what.

Honestly, Albertans were fine with sharing their wealth, until Quebec started using throwing their weight around to stop Alberta from being able to move their product to market while insisting on continuing to receive handouts.

Alberta wasn’t even looking for thank yous, just stop fucking with the money you are getting for virtue signalling points. And once they started looking closer, they started getting more pissed off. Quebec’s hydro is exempt, but oil and gas is not? WTF

The reason AB doesn’t complain about the Maritimes getting more per capita is because Maritimers don’t base their identity on shitting on the hands that feed them. Also there are plenty of Easterners who moved here to work and stayed to build families and they are frankly great people.

The fucking gall of Quebec politicians to sneer at Alberta, as though we are their inferiors- and then take money from us and pretend they aren’t is fucking irritating.

Equalization is intended to allow provinces to offer provincial services at roughly the same level of quality anywhere in Canada.

It doesn't really do that, if you're really lucky it creates a minimum bar which is very low. Nova Scotia's medical system has been a mess for a long time because even with equal money there are a lot of challenges delivering health services to a majority rural population which is increasingly leaning towards old age.

Thing about Quebec that people forget is that outside of Montreal and Quebec City, it actually looks a lot like a French version of Nova Scotia. There's a lot of rural poverty. That's why it gets so much equalization money.

I believe the issue is the perverse incentive equalization gives to a province like Quebec, which is very rich in natural resources and has a population base to exploit it but just refuses to, partly because it wouldn't really make them any better off due to equalization.

It's perverse and Landry (the old premier I mentioned) was correct on that, 24 years ago.

Quebec with the GDP per capita of Alberta would be an economic power house.
Why did Quebec stop being Catholic? Isn't it still majority that.
Maurice Duplessis' government would often use the church as a way to control the populace and get them to vote for him. He had the unequivocal support from the church until repeated labor strikes. His party was rife with corruption, including the church.

It has to do with women gaining voting rights too. Women didn't get suffrage in Quebec until 1940. That is in part why French Canadians would describe themselves as white niggers, because for all intents and purposes, this is what the state viewed them as. Both the state and the church kept the citizenry poor and ignorant.

Quebec does keep that silly persecution complex and they can't take a joke.

The persecution complex certainly factors into Quebec getting into the whole genderspecial faggotry business long before the rest of Canada did. I always thought it was strange and coincidental how a majority of Quebecquers on early 2010s twitter, especially millennials, were fixated with 'hooking' with underage trannies and bragging about it online, and this was years before that shit became "trendy" in the Western Hemisphere.
It's one thing for there to be a huge cultural chasm between them and the Anglos (and other Franco groups), but Quebeckers are simply very different than normal human beings. It’s not just the secular godlessness, or the rampant drug use, or even their psychotic animosity towards everyone else, including other Catholic Whites. They are very deeply troubled beings, and the sexual part of it is very obvious and very goofy.
 
My city had a faggot pride event today.
Completely off topic, but speaking of Pride Shit - I find it funny that the local Walmart barely bothered with Pride shit, beyond a few scattered Rainbow items and a display hilariously priced at $14.88.

I’m guessing the corporate overlords have realized after a decade of doing this that pandering beyond changing their Twitter/X bio to Fag Brigade Colours for the month is a waste of time and money. Add in that I’ve heard some of the younger ones at my own Wage Slavery going on about how Pride is just a marketing gimmick, every once in a while my fellow Leafs give me hope. It dies quickly, but its there.
