What does it mean to be Canadian?

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

I am not a leaf, but I have been watching a few of Canadian Prepper's vlogs. This one in particular got my attention. He is talking about here how there is a bill where if you have a large SM presence, you have to have (Canadian) nationalist content.

He is so close to realizing the truth and then he swings back to towing the party line as in there is no Canadian identity and globalism is awesome.

I am an Americant that has a lot of contact with Canunkistan. Are Canadians that different than Americans or visa versa? No. Do Canadians have no national identity? I don't believe that either, though as an American, I see it more as regional differences, like I would view someone from Maine or Alabama. Yeah, you have your own culture, but are we all that different? No. But we do have our own culture and to deny that it is retarded. So it is with Canada.

The worst part is that I have seen Leafs post here that Trudeau said that Canadians have no cultural identity, yet now they want to mandate it through media? Am I confused? Please, Leafs, explain.

They want to mandate that Canadian content is shown to Canadians. The Canadian content will be the typical globohomo leftist propaganda that Trudeau's friends at the leftist media companies put out, but now forced onto private companies like Youtube.

a lot of them seem to be depressive alcoholics

That identity is "post the America bad content constantly"

Rural Canadians are just Americans with syrup. Bughive Canadians are the same as bughive Americans, but their personality is almost always "I'm not American" especially under the age of 30 or so.

I know a few based Canadians and most of them just want to move to the US

Canuck truckers and the Polish immigrant sausage roll makers that support them are very good people.

Norm MacDonald was a tactful person, in most respects, and a good comedian.

Most leafs are too cold to put up an argument when their government overreaches, I guess.

The only good thing I've noticed about Canada is that since their men are such pussies their women seem to be a little more based than usual.
You have to figure if Canada is America's northern neighbor, that makes every woman in Canada sort of like the girl next door.

That's just the perception I've gotten though, I could be mistaken.

As an American who has grown up in Canada, the people in Toronto are fairly nice to you, as most of them are literal lifesavers. However, don't fuck with a Quebecker, they're bizzare.

also if you're Canadian, you get access to all the cool shit America doesn't have (During trips to Toronto, I saw Death Note on YTV before everyone else in america that way)

The Quebecois and Acadiens have a culture distinct from the rest of North America and Europe.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Oh boy, the answer is complex because the country has several regional identities. Quebec stands out because it is the Francophone province that complains the loudest and is incredibly insecure over its culture. One could argue that the Maritimes have their own distinct character, especially Newfoundland, which was a separate dominion until it reverted back to colony in the 1930s and then joined confederation in 1949. Meanwhile, the prairie provinces have their own distinct political and cultural idea rooted in the frontier spirit while British Columbia, particularly the lower mainland, are a bunch of goddamn hippies. Ontario more or less holds a tenuous hegemony over the other regions by a series of political alliances, in this case, the Laurentian Consensus composed of Ontario/Quebec (mostly Montreal) with help from the Maritimes and B.C.

The notion of a "post-national state" (as Trudeau puts it) has its roots with the election of his father in 1968. From the beginning of confederation in 1867 to the 1960s, Canada was an enthusiastic part of the British Empire, but when the empire collapsed Canada went through something of an identity crisis and embraced multiculturalism as its "identity". Since the Liberal Party of Canada held power the longest since then, there is a belief within the party that they define what is inherently Canadian. Hence why you have them ram Bill C-11 through so the CTRC can regulate streaming content to promote what they deem "Canadian" content. Unfortunately, this top-down approach makes Canada appear like a Potemkin village to hide the regional divides and tensions. The only people that drink the Kool-Aid live in the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, and Montreal while the rest of us must suffer their arrogant buffoonery.

It means that even if you're straight, you're expected to be a gay AIDS sponges or your entire family will become outcasts.

What are the positives in being a Canadian right now?

 

[Grub]

When I was young, being a Canadian meant a balance between socialist and capitalist extremes. There was a public system that worked to provide public services and works that benefitted all Canadians in general, there was a healthy private sector that was more regulated than the US but not retarded the way things are now. We weren't war mongers who got involved in wars of aggression we had no business being part of. We had a resource economy that benefitted Canadians first rather than shipping everything out for the benefit of globalist corporations. We did have our own culture separate from American and globohomo culture.

All of that's gone though. All the good public companies and services were privatized. Those companies are basically allowed to operate with impunity, meanwhile, government regulation over private business has gotten to near communist levels. We've spent the last 20 years involved in the same bullshit wars as America. Our natural resources are shipped out to the lowest bidder then imported back in at excessive inflated prices. Canadian culture has been pretty much replaced with globohomo and our government bends over and gets on their knees for China.

Canada has become completely fucked over the last 20 years or so. The trucker convoy and the few people I drive by who still go out every Saturday and gather down along the highway with signs and flags against the tyranny of the last two years are some of the few things that have made me feel even slightly patriotic about Canada since I was young.

Eh well, I am very much of the opinion that an attack on Canada is an attack on me. I would actually defend them because I believe them to be one of us and worth the fight. Can't say that for the vast majority of people in the world though. Doesn't mean they would leave with their cuck government intact, but I also know we have to fix ours too.

It's a mix. You have some girls like that, but most are miserable cunts. Many are pro-lockdown, pronouns in the bio, extreme man-hating, post jabs as an instagram story types. You have more salt of the earth types than girl next door too.

I've noticed the upper class guys are based, but I've seen way more soyboys as I've aged. I've read a lot of older generations told their kids to avoid the CHLers, and a lot of boomer parents are overprotective. I've noticed the poor and middle class guys are more what I'd consider salt of the earth types, where they're kind of right wing but are happy serving their betters, don't seem to age out of being teenagers either and not in the good way.

Better hope Angry Canadian and @Dude Ukraine don't see this, dude.

Some Canadians are pretty straight. But Canada is like a colder, less popular California

 

[TroonsDid911]

Every province outside of Ontario and British Columbia has their own unique culture and identity. Those two provinces are pure globohomo shitholes. Ontario is the source of Canada's liberal disease and the reason we are a laughing stock. They are the reason Trudeau keeps getting elected.

Western Canada has an entirely different culture then Ontario. Especially the Prairies. Its like the difference between California and Texas. Quebec is like the spoiled rotten brat of a family who keeps threatening to run away if they aren't the center of attention. Western Canada is like the 3rd child who sees how stupid the two before them are and is ignored by their parents because they just don't give a shit anymore.

 

[The Gifted Kid]

It feels fragmented to say the least. It used to really piss me off when I was young whenever Canada was depicted in shows or movies it would always be either Ontario, Quebec or maybe B.C. Canada is so much more than that and each province has its own distinct values and culture that’s not always represented. Even among the western provinces there’s a distinct difference between them.

If you want a glimpse of the “Canadian Experience” watch Trailer Park Boys. There’s one episode where Ricky is using a shoe horn to mix a drink in a half cut presidents choice bottle and that seemed like the exact thing my Grandpa would do. Maybe also check out some of the old PSA commercials that would play before cartoons in the morning (ex. the House Hippo commercial, which legitimately made me believe they existed).

Overall I can't really complain too much since I've known nothing better but I am unironically jealous of American Patriotism. I just can't get that excited for Canada in the same way Americans do on the 4th of July. I remember as a kid I went to an air show in the states and went on a tour of an air force base. They showed us a deactivated ICBM and I distinctly remember thinking "God bless America". So fucking weird thinking about that now...
