  1. Well sure... And basically this is the Canada I grew up in. Catholic High School divided between Irish and Italians with some Carribeans mixed in. Grew up in an Italian neighborhood that became Hasidic Jewish over time. Hanging out on the Danforth in Greek town and then to little Italy. Worked for the parks in a Jamaican neighborhood. My parents hung out with other European immigrants, mostly Spanish doctors and their wives from a variety of backrounds. Attended German school. Made a Quebec girlfriend on summer holiday and went to visit her in Quebec city... her parents were actually Swiss French. My wife is Ukranian Canadian... pure stock 2-3 generations Canadian. I have only known a Multicultural Canadian national identity.... I know no other. But is this Post National? Canada has always included more than one culture... English and French... under one National Compromise. All that happened is we opened up that compromise to more than just the French.... although the French are still Extra-special.
  2. What constitutes a disability? How about Incel types.... involuntary celibacy is sort of a disability... The Government Tit is taking on new meaning. A form of Government Afterlife on Earth where everyone gets 12 Government "Virgins"...
  3. National Identity in Canada has always been difficult. We're not entirely British, not French, not Native, not American.... What is our National Identity? Hockey?
  4. What's a Post National State?
  5. His words were heartfelt and courageous. He got no love whatsoever from the woke... from either side for that matter. There are no winners in this shit show.
  6. I don't agree with Don Cherry.... but I also don't agree with all the smug satisfaction about his downfall. I like Don Cherry standing up for veterans. But he took a wild swing... he lacked discipline... and he got benched. I have no problem with that... but the lack of respect for his legacy and the good he brought to so many people over the years is sickening. I like how Ron Maclean handled the situation - he showed integrity.
  7. One should be careful when applying the adjective "evil" to most things...
  8. I wonder if it has to with the metric of trust. Societies need a base amount of trust between members to function cohesively.
