Canada is a failed state

Can we talk about how dogshit modern Canadian Patriotic songs are?

Modern Canadian identity is just spite towards Americans.

These fucking suck. The Bella Ciao one is especially cringe with it being an actually historically significant piece. The juxtaposition of a song about rebel fighters in Fascist Italy being used for Canada's slap-fighting with the US would probably get a chuckle out of me if I didn't know that so many Canadians genuinely see themselves that way.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

The Laurentine Elites spent all the 70's and 80' trying to build up a sense of Canadian identity so they could keep off American businesses from invading and out competing them by...well offering fair priced products in a competitive marketplace.

The thing the elites hate like poison as they know they can't compete with any US company due to them only being successful due to Federal interference and gifted monopolies. So "US company" bad was the propaganda of the day even as the elites used tax dollars to buy up American stock for themselves. Anyone remember the Mulroney Irving "scandal" hmmmm?

Come the 90' onward suddenly Canada is nothing more then a Economic Zone where everyone is welcome and just setting foot in the country makes you a Canadian, still not allowing any outside businesses in but every damn Jeet from Calcutta is more then welcome to come on in and bring the whole extended family along. What is Canada after all? Just a big empty space with some whites filling it so come on over Mr Singh Ramadan Goatfucker, your a Canadian now!

I want to see the East burn on the pyre of their own making. All those gold plated pensions, all those union guarantee's, all those rich civil servants who voted to keep the slush funds going. I want them all to burn along with what's left of the Canadian economy so they can enjoy the choices they've made over these last 75 years.

God willing the West will break free before the final collapse and bankruptcy as you just know the final act of the last Canadian PM will be to lay even more taxes and fee's upon Alberta companies to "assist the rest of Canada weather the storm as a good brother should".

They would stab us with the left hand while robbing us with the right and then demand we sacrifice what left of our industry to ensure Qubec's Federal Pensions get paid out.

Fuck

I think I saw the same video, is it this one?

The guy is a Chinese BC liberal so he's very careful not to name the Jeet/Chink or blame the immigrants themselves, and there's not really any info here you don't already know if you're the type that reads this thread, but it's a decent primer to show normies that think Canada is still the Great White North populated by wealthy, generous French syrupsuckers

YES! My jaw hit the floor at the final chapter. After going through everything that was wrong with the country, the story becoming more and more hopeless...The hope litterally is "That one time we won a hockey game before I was born."
Is this what you guys mean when you say that Canadians want it this way? As in, this is what the opposition looks like? It felt like one of those Neo-Con satire comics where in 40 years they are saying: "Look we are ok with pedophelia, but fucking a baby in the womb is where we draw the line! We are a country of values!"

"patriotic songs"
Buddy these where 100% made by some blue haired american.

 

[Scale Smerch]

Now this is a great Canadian Nationalist song. "Sons of the Ensign" by Chris Burke

Probably slightly powerlevel given the average "Canadian" these days but I proudly own an Ensign flag because fuck the maple leaf. We have one flag, it's the Ensign, and any Liberal apologist who suggests otherwise is far too lost to be a proper citizen. Pearson needs digging up and annually berated for allowing the "post-national" nonsense via changing colours and imagery we're now subjected to courtesy of Trudeau Junior.

Funny how true and honest patriotism requires actually recognizing and embracing your past and being proud for what your forefathers accomplished.

 

[Brutality]

Maple Leaf Forever was a good one

That should be the national anthem

Canadian identity is just spite towards Americans.

FTFY

The Canadian accent isn't real. It was made up on SCTV in the 70s for a bit. Most Canadians have an American tv accent. I have never in my entire life, where I have lived across the country ever, heard a Bob and Doug Mackenzie accent. I have never heard anyone unironically say aboot.

Thank you. I had these questions before - if Canada had "American-like suburbs", "American-like accent", and such stuff 15+ years ago.

Because the 90's was Canada's true descent into neoliberalism. The horror began then. Corporations eventually engulfed the country many years later and took over the government. the country is run like a business now even more than the U.S. Canada knows how to keep wages low and the costs of basic essentials high. Canada uses mass immigration and LMIA's to achieve this.

You're seeing the ugly face of Neoliberalism.

Americans haven't even got there yet despite all there problems. They talk about the threat of an oligarchy and "Trump the king" but they have no clue how far away from that they actually are. Partially due to their Constitution of freedoms. Canadians don't have anything to the equivalent.

Yes, Canada is an example of where the US would currently be if it weren't for the Constitution and it shows just how powerful the Constitution really is. Politicians in the US often try to find as many loopholes as they can, but in the end they can only do so much when these are absolute rules set in stone. The Canadian government can and always could do whatever the hell they want and that's where the underlying problem begins. It's the reason we kept Trudeau for so long and it's the reason Motherfucker Carney is now our supreme leader. Without our own personal constitution we were fucked from the start and it was only a matter of time we'd end up here.

The 10th Amendment is (usually) a huge part in this and states having absolute authority on things the feds do not have power in. In theory, only what's listed in the first seven articles as federal powers are the only things that the feds are allowed to do, then any power you can think of, are defaulted to the states. That was a reason that triggered the Civil War in regards to slavery (being property rights at the time).

From what I've read in this thread and seen regarding canadian laws in the news, the parliament seems to have unitary absolute power, while the provinces can do what the want additionally. Is there not something similar to a 10th amendment or is basically a watered down version?

Unfortunately we don't have anything equivalent to the 10th Amendment, at least as explicitly defined in the Canadian constitution. Division of powers is quite vague (shared powers are a common feature, especially for more modern concepts) and a lot of issues are left in sort of purgatory since neither the provinces nor Ottawa wants court adjudication lest said powers wind up being permanently assigned. Good example is resource rights: technically they fall under provincial control, but the Trudeau-era Libs have made serious attempts at usurping that power through red tape and bureaucratic manipulation, and have dragged their heels over rollbacks mandated by province-led court victories. Also becomes a major quagmire once inter-province projects are considered because suddenly that enters federal domain.

Makes for an interesting case study at least because Canada's governmental system is sort of halfway between that of Britain and the US, just with all the defects of both conveniently wrapped up and defined by the word "confederation".

 

[Uncle Tom's Condo]

It's very much regional. Ignoring Newfie and Quebecois there's a distinct prairie accent for example prominent across rural Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba. Saskatchewan's Premier Scott Moe is a good representative of it (his is quite noticeable), and of course you'll get lots of chugs with different flavours of it. Otherwise any accent is quite muted and in general follows the split in American accents - i.e. midwestern for most, Cascadian and New England influenced variations for BC and the Maritimes respectively. We're too tied in with American media to sustain any serious differences, which is why you have to go to very rural communities to find them now.

I think the accent thing is generational. People 40+ have an Ontario accent or a Maritime or Prairie accent but the younger ones have a generic American accent. FUBAR, while a fake movie, has a unique accent for the characters and TPB has their own accent. Your 25 year old New Ontario person could be from DC from the area from the sound of it. The 'aboot' sound is dying out but I can still pick out older Canadians when talking to them without knowing their origin.

Dunno how much this matters, but there's this person who's helped out with Alberta's Fiscal Plan if it becomes independent and these posts kinda concern me.

Naming the country's currency after an expletive-laden meme likely wouldn't age well, but neither would be having one of the nation's main economic cornerstones being crypto of all things. It just looks super weird to me. Maybe I'm just dooming?

This is AI generated slop- modern Canadians can't even make their own anti-American songs without relying on chat GPT any longer.

He has a sound principle.... Backing your currency with tangible assets is a great way to drive bond sale once you become a separate country .


But they won't even need to do that. New Alberta state will use US currency as it's main reserve. It would make sense too. They sell most of their crude to USA and they will have hundreds of billions of US dollars in reserve.
