Canada is a failed state

[Totallyunknown]

I'm pretty sure every single time I've seen someone bring up the city of Hamilton on here, it's always to comment on the extent of the homeless problem. I can't vouch for how true this is, but people from the area have told me that it used to be common for cities around the region to hand chronically homeless/terminal fuckups a bus or train ticket to Hamilton when they'd get out of jail, with the reasoning that Hamilton has better social services. I believe it, the cost of living was very reasonable there until 2011 or thereabouts in comparison to major cities in the GTA, there were lots of shitty housing projects where you could actually afford a 1 bedroom comfortably on one welfare check. Then the Toronto cancer got out of control, the heritage buildings and independent businesses were destroyed and replaced with ludicrously overpriced carbon copies of the same fuck ugly neomodern high rise condos. Rents more than quadrupled, now the people on ODSP mostly live in shelters or tents. The ones who can afford a place often only manage because they sell their medication and shit. Basically if you've seen the South Park episode about gentrification, that was pretty close.

Hamilton is probably the worst city in Ontario - and I would willingly debate anyone on this. The average IQ of people living in Hamilton has to be lower than the rest of the province. The city is the little cousin of Vancouver at this point but average residents somehow thinks every city is filled with crackheads and mentally ill on every corner in every alley with multiple (50+ people) large encampments. Yet, you can easily drive over to Burlington and see this is not true. You can bus into Toronto and encounter less visible poverty walking around neighborhoods. But they will argue until they are blue in the face that this is a great city that has problems every other city in the world has so they don't really need to do anything about the issues.

The city just did a vote on a vacant unit tax but the mayor couldn't vote because she owns property and two other councillors just didn't show up despite representing two ridings that are most effected. There are fires everyday of these encampments burning to the ground - two people just caused 500k in damages to a public washroom that was burned down next to a fire station. But an abandonded heritage building that was "accidentally" burned down by a mentally ill woman last year already had condos being built on the land.

The best part about it is they don't have a problem "area". There's no East Hastings or Kensington. It's the entire lower city from Dundas to Stoney Creek. They have pockets of decent areas that are quiet and off the beaten path of the crackheads but you will otherwise encounter fucked up people no matter where you go.

That city will burn before the people living there even realize its happening.

We are being replaced. Our leaders are owned by china. Our management sectors are full of retards. Anyone with a will gets crushed in the system. It’s going to be at least a decade of recovery from this recession.

We are currently here

And here

Can’t forget here either.

Pierre is a sheepdog like vivek, the establishment will give him 'journalist owns' and then broadcast them everywhere (how that alone doesn't make it suspect I do not know), and drooling retards will gobble it up like the good little slop gobblers they are.

 

[BeetleBug242]

You mean something like this?

So the liberal party just put the oppositions best political video against themselves on blast for the whole world to see. He was a populist not even a full year ago. I wonder where those talking points went?

 

[geckogoy]

Like that, yes.

For any outside observers who aren't canucks
-. There's already an early voting period that people can go vote on
-. Your polling place is told to you on your voting card + you can find out where it is via the elections canada website

“We are upset we can’t charge 500$ for a shared bedroom to pay the 7500+ mortgage payments we have because of the shoddy paperwork we used”

Good, fuck slumlords- theres no other way to phrase it, that is what they are, fuck them.

The only real irony is that theyre doing this to their own countrymen, and no I don't mean Canadians

I wish the Canadian government would deport all Indians, including those born here.

The latter is impossible because jus soli (right of the soil) makes anyone born in Canada automatically a Canadian citizen, which has cheapened the concept of Canadian citizenship as far as I'm concerned. It has created the birth tourism industry so that the parents can exploit the child's citizenship so that they can enjoy the benefits while buggering off elsewhere. For example, I hear about "Canadians" caught in Gaza on the news, but let's face it. They only want Canadian citizenship because it gives them a place to flee to whenever Hamas provokes Israel into flattening Gaza and often at the taxpayer expense. Given that both Trudeaus and the Canadian left in general subscribe to the asinine notion of the post-national state with the slow erasure of our pre-1968 history, being a Canadian is meaningless.

Oh, and it's worth noting that India once had jus soli citizenship, but has since abolished it.

Was just having a conversation about this with someone in real life, and we basically came to the conclusion that countries that do not allow duel citizenship (ie, like Japan) are in the right.

Pick one nation to have loyalties to. This used to be less of a concern when it came to places like Europe, the global north, etc- but when half the New Americans and New Canadians are living in Gaza, Somalia, India, etc, but just abusing healthcare here and demand to be air lifted (with their entire families) in the event of some tragedy in a place that doesn't really affect us in much of any way-

It just complicates things too much.

You can't get rid of birth citizenship, but we should get rid of duel citizenship. There is no reason to keep it, and every reason to remove it, imo

 

[Baraka Obama]

That's a nonstarter due to ties with the US. Many people want the ability to just move and live and work anywhere in USA or Canada.

 

[geckogoy]

You can't get rid of birth citizenship

You literally can. Why should some random dickbags who aren't even citizens themselves have citizenship for their offspring? Some countries in the past even required two consecutive generations before you would be considered naturalized.

 

[DiscoRodeo]

You literally can.

Once birth citizenship is granted, you cannot retroactively take it back. What you're talking about is changing future rules.

Yeah, had thought of this as its the one case that I think is fair enough, but if it came to it, I'd rather be done with duel citizenship period,
and would rather have some sort of cross border deal with the US, like the EU. There's no other way to essentially guarantee that all Canadians, at least on paper, have an interest in Canadian society first.

Pretty sure you could

They should not be allowed to hold office or public security positions at the bare minimum. Politicians with dual citizenship should not be allowed to have a parachute in case they have to hit eject. It encourages politicians to use their public position in order to gain wealth, without having to be invested in the country over the long term. Any questions of allegiance should be a top concern in matters of national security. Dual citizenship by definition means dual allegiances. There is a good reason why legally renouncing citizenship is a thing that exists. Not that it would be perfect or ideal, but it's something.

CANADA’S COWARD- JUSTIN TRUDEAU​

Cartoon published 01/29/2024

We’ve received many requests from people to draw cartoons pertaining to events in Canada. The requesters especially want to see me lambast Trudeau. He has become just as despised as Joe Biden is here in America. I have drawn many cartoons featuring the bastard son of Fidel Castro, but it has been a while since we’ve published another one. So here it is.



Early last year I received a commission from a Canadian who likes our cartoons. He remembered the ones I drew a long time ago and suggested I utilize some of the imagery from them. So I did.

Here we see the racist two-faced Trudeau in his cottage—a place where he retreats from problems and smokes weed. However, his nightmares don’t go away and his adversaries have set Trudeau’s head spinning. Many Americans might not know what’s going on here—not exactly, but Canadians will know and this cartoon is for them.



A final note: Right after I finished this cartoon last spring, it was put on the back burner for seven months, that’s why the twitter bird is featured instead of “X.” Musk had not yet changed the name when this was drawn.

Thank you very much to our Canadian commissioner and supporter and best wishes to all of our Canadian friends — especially our northern neighbors in Alberta.

I think you've inadvertently come up with a fantastic reality show concept for the CBC.

 

[stupid frog]

I know this is trannies posting their L’s, but it seems the consensus is that Canada is the most trans friendly country. So a giant L for Canada as well. Not only do you get stuck with skinwalkers, you also get to pay for their bullshit surgeries and aftercare.

Nothing could make me bitch more about western cultural imperialism than the idea that there's a teenaged curry troon on Reddit who says "yall" while posting from Surat. Probably just a shitpost (no pun intended, sirs,) but still.
