Canada is a failed state

Glad we are focusing on that instead of coding & robotics. Kids gotta know what gender they are.

 

[Kiwisee]

This is fucking horrifying. Our children our being preyed on by groomers, predators and the mentally ill.

Everybody who supports this propaganda, be they in government, education or the medical community, needs to have their addresses made public and be shamed from society. This degeneracy must end now.

My oldest has a class called "Steam" instead of just "Stem". They just had to showhorn arts into tech class. I'm serious. My kids are fucking based and obsessed with machinery anyway, so they'll be fine, but lol.

 

[TurdFondler]

They have to shoehorn art in there because the teachers are retards who can't teach STEM. Coworker of mine moved from China and his 8 year old is leagues ahead of his class. High school teacher I know had the school division try and get him to stop teaching Ohm's Law in Electronics Class because they didn't see the value.

With how much time we spend using computers I do not understand why microprocessor fundamentals, hex and binary aren't taught in like 4th grade. Any kid graduating high school should be able to install Linux, troubleshoot a network and write Hello World in 4 languages.

Somehow in the before times when I was in school we had to reach 60wpm in typing class but they actually just ditched the class entirely now.

Short answer: yes.

Forget people looking in from outside, I don't even think Canadians understand just how different this place was within living memory. The only thing the "Canada" of today shares with the one that existed in 1945 is the name. It's a skin-walker, its shoulders adorned with the taxidermied but nonetheless slowly rotting hide of a country that has been dead for decades. I genuinely think the bi-cultural Canada as envisioned in 1867 could have turned out well, and could have avoided a lot of the problems inherent in the US system. But, like I said, it's dead. Not dying: dead, effectively an administrative zone of the woke American campus empire since at least the 1960s. For the more bookish Kiwis, I'd recommend reading George Grant's Lament for a Nation.

Anyway, the Canada of today is absolutely a failed state, for reasons too numerous to list without a wall of autistic text. Owning property is impossible for vast swaths of the population in Canada's key cultural and demographic centres, not even for older-stock immigrants like Pajeets and Flips. It's simply never considered. Owning a house is a quaint curiosity reserved for offshore Chinese multimillionaires, and that, right there, is what failure looks like.

And let's not start on the situation where a good portion of the population are effectively economic tourists (again, mostly from China) with, let's face it, a give-a-fuck-about-the-country level hovering around absolute zero. And then there's the deliberate, systematic cultural erasure of the Anglo-Celtic demographic that was once 98%+ of the population in many cities only a few decades ago, combined with the patchwork ghettoization of urban areas into ethnic enclaves without even the polite pretense of assimilation.

That said, running to the United States of Niggerland (another failed state) makes no sense at all. From up here it looks like just as much of a shitheap, even worse in some ways. When your cities have a regular cycle of being put to the torch by rampaging hordes of Bantus, and your polical system has stopped even bothering to try to look legitimate by its own standards, you're fucked. Kujo put it best on the first page:

So the greatest defender of the old Canadian culture was an Uncle Ted precursor? No wonder we got subsumed.

I still think this propaganda poster is a pretty nice relic of what we used to have, along with Kingston's old architecture.

Colton Bushie was a piece of shit, I don't feel sorry for him and although he received the usual asspats from the media, many Native folk did not give a damn about his antics at all.

As for Gladue reports, it should be used a limited number of times - two max. Then it should be thrown out in future court cases. I really despise how Native people are treated with fucking kid gloves nowadays.

IMO native people were treated like kids since 1867. First in the manner of strict parent with residential schools, now as an indulgent wine aunt.

Lol some schools are adding "Art" to STEM curriculums now? Fucking hilarious. Compare your average "artist" salary to an engineer.

The only two artists to actually make a living this century were Banksy and Hunter "NieceRaper" Biden.

 

[TurdFondler]

No artist actually "made a living"

Daddy's trust fund was involved at some point. Career artists are always, always the children of the rich.

 

[Isaac]

Canada is just a wealth centralization scheme that hasn't self-imploded yet. It cannot justify it's own nationhood, through cultural or economic arguments. Canadian nationalism is just a holdover of Pan-Brittanic pride from back when it was still a god fearing peasant colony. Canada is a beautiful country, and used to be comprised of a diverse and unique catalog of various Western European, Nordic and Eastern European immigrants. The only hope for it now is for it to collapse quickly and violently, so that something better can be drawn up.

Not sure if any of you guys are aware, but truckers are heading out to Ottawa right now to protest the vaccine mandate. Apparently (according to a trucker friend of mine), they planning on blocking off Ottawa along with other major Ontario cities from supplies until the federal government lifts all vaccine mandates.

While for now they’re saying they’ll stick around until the 29th, there is a possibility for it to be a lot longer than that.

Compare your scientist salary to an engineer. A bachelor's degree in physics won't get you a job anymore than bachelor's in fine art. Even the low-level technician jobs want a master's.

Now some poor dumbass gets to pay through the nose for a student Visa and drive around for uber/skip while also working for less than minimum at a restaurant.

This is what really disappoints me the most, in all honesty.

Power leveling a little bit, but as I'm no longer in said province- Ontario was basically full of this. It seems like the majority of clerical jobs or basic IT jobs either contract through temp agencies now, or are heading towards that. These agencies aren't technically "temp labor", in that bigger corporations tend to hire people for 3 - 6 month contracts at a time continuously. It prevents someone from getting tenure, your contract can simply not be renewed if the labor market worsens, etc.

Whats happening within this is a majority of people winding up in these jobs are students from overseas, who are willing to put up with "your shifts are what we say they are, you have no job security, and you will be making minimum or basically minimum".

Almost every tech or clerical job I've worked in has a permanent cycling in and out of students from India now. Thats also the ones who can get a clerical job, or, as you say, they wind up working for minimum at a restaurant, but on call to have their shift switched to any time in a 24 hour cycle.

It's really disheartening in a sense, as I can sympathize, but this system really cannot sustain itself, is pretty predatory, and I don't see things turning out very well for Canadian citizens as a whole who want something more than contract work like this. I genuinely think it is evident that the current generation's standard of living is taking a hike in comparison to the previous one's.

 

[TurdFondler]

I wonder if they'd treat blockading truckers with the same kid gloves they use for native blockades.

As for the temp agency stuff, what corporations don't realize is that while this sort of work is theoretically possible, in practice it's dogshit. I've worked at places like this and there is no institutional knowledge, anything that can't be immediately solved or has loose ends becomes a nightmarish quagmire and labor costs actually go through the roof.

Yeah you can shuffle pajeets through your company on a regular basis for pennies on the dollar but why? It's no wonder our tech, R&D and manufacturing sectors are in the shitter.

 

[DiscoRodeo]

I suspect that there can be institutional knowledge and some pajeets who know their stuff well, don't get me wrong.

Its not so much about a lack of skill (though in one job, that definitely showed), insofar as pajeets on a student visa are willing to put up with a lot more (ie, shift work that can change weekly, you may find yourself working in the morning one day, then overnight another).

The Canadian in me isn't often inclined towards something more exclusionary, but frankly- a lot of people local to here are just locked out of the market and I do think that we need to be more exclusive in terms of immigration. Clerical places want employees they can keep on a contract, dont have to pay additional costs, can fire at the end of a contract or renew if they want, and who will take any shift given to them. The neoliberal system we currently have, really caters to that at the cost of undermining the current youth problem here, for cheaper and easier labor relations with developing worlders with drastically less bargaining power due to being here on a student visa.

I've never been a fan of diversity quotas, but in some sense, I honestly do think that there should be some requirements for companies to have X% of a workforce who are local, and not simply on a student visa.

In theory as well, youre only supposed to hire someone if noone qualified can be found locally, but I really do not think that this is enforced at all in Canada.

Foreigners are cheap labour who they have leverage on and will put up with terrible conditions that a Canadian citizen wouldn't tolerate, and that's before getting into the affirmative action shit. And it's in their interest to keep signalling Canada as a pajeet and chink haven because that's where they get all the money.

If you leaf’s need a white pill, then I’m happy to report that my city showed support for the Truckers Convoy, with restaurants offering discounts to anyone who shows support on it via Social media.

Most of the folks also are seeing through any media attempts to either spin it as a right wing thing or as an environmental protest against bad roads.

Let’s see how it goes. For once, I am starting to feel some optimism about this country

I remember seeing this video with this feisty Indian immigrant woman who was telling the truth about the lives of foreign workers in Canada. She was working for a temp agency that mainly used Indians and she explained it was at a basic level a slavery scheme. She said there is little to no opportunity to move ahead.

Eerily reminiscent of what happens to Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, in my experience at least.

I was thinking to myself today that a lot of these 'workers' could actually be victims of human trafficking (labour trafficking that is). Dubai pulls this type of shit too, they get their Indian slaves to build high rise luxury condos. I wouldn't put it past Canada to be endorsing and using actual slavery at this point.

 

[Gig Bucking Fun]

Canada is not liberal. Look under the hood and you will see it's a conservative shit hole. The ''Tory'' party of the 80's and 2000's moulded Canada into the failed state it is today. THEY were the party that increased immigration, introduced the temporary foreign worker program and did the good ol' corporate bail out bullshit like south of the border while nothing trickled down to the people despite the people being taxed out of their teeth.

Trudeau is not liberal either, much of his economic policies are to the right of Harper. The liberal party went right in the same way the labor party went right in the UK with Tony Blair's ''New Labour party'' after a longstanding Tory party rule.

Trudeau is not a male feminist, he's not supportive of human rights or even the trannies. It's all an act to draw in voters.

All parties in Canada are pro high level immigration because Canada has the poorest birthrate among all countries in the G7. There is no domestic population growth. It's not ''asexual Millennial's'' it's the housing cost and stagnant wages. People can not afford to reproduce.

Maybe they should import more Mexicans. Those motherfuckers reproduce like rabbits come hell or high water.

Great for her. She should go the fuck back to India, then.
