Settled according to who? Do you have polls? Abortion is long settled yes, and I doubt PP touches it (Harper didn't), but they've bungled MAID and society is still working through trans rights. I'd love to see polls of Canadians about modern social issues including "woke" policies. But yes obviously the economy/affordability is the biggest issue, maybe healthcare too. And PP himself isn't that popular according to polls.

How nationalist are you?
Moonlight Graham replied to Moonlight Graham's topic in Political Philosophy
1. There's countless examples in the world happening right now. How long have Jews, Arabs, Christians, and others been fighting over the same areas? Kurds, Shia, and Sunni etc? Why did Pakistan and Bangladesh separate from India after independence? Why are Punjabi's trying to create a Khalistan? Sub-saharan Africa has been filled with civil wars since they became independent countries largely because their borders were drawn by European empires without any regard to local groups, and so they fight for political supremacy within the same governments. People want self-determination and don't want to be dominated. Just ask Quebec. I've studied these issues at the post-secondary level and know what "experts" think on the subject so I'm not ignorant on this. 2. Consider why the people in France speak a different language than Germany, Spain, and Portugal etc. Same with Korea vs China vs Vietnam etc. This is far older than Westphalian sovereignty or the UN. 3. Yes. States are good, and so are provinces. People want self-determination. Quebec and Alberta and the indigenous don't want centralized control over their lives. Children eventually move out of their parents' house for the same reasons. 4. Canada has 3 founding nations, probably more given indigenous people aren't homogenous. They have political differences obviously, and Quebec almost seperated in the 80's and 90's after the Quiet Revolution came to a head. Trudeau Sr tried to unite the country and failed. Francophone K-12 schools in Quebec don't fly the Canadian flag and students don't sing the national anthem, even around Montreal. High risk indeed. Feel free to confirm: The Irish and Germans assimilated. After that, the Italians and others have done ok assimilating but some remain in ethnic enclaves. Those groups don't have many natural differences from each other, besides the Germans and Japanese during WWII. Punjabis and Indians, Muslims and Jews, Tamils vs Sinhalese etc are a different story. We'll see how it goes. What do we all unify around? Americans have it right. 20th century Liberal Party had a similar answer (Canadian flag, national anthem) but didn't teach much history. Trudeau Jr's Liberals not so much (shame, guilt, post-national state, erasing history). 5. "Nation" has a specific definition, not difficult to understand. Quebec is a "nation within a nation" and they dislike outsiders. -

You never swore an oath to any British Crown in your entire life. You're a traitor to the Canadian Crown which you pledged allegiance. You're a Russian bot here to sow division. Go screw yourself loser. -

The monarchy has no policy making power in Britain. The King is the head of state, not the head of government. The UK are ruled by the people through Parliament. Magna Carta, Glorious Revolution etc. They keep the monarchy around for traditions sake. The Leviathan is now the nation. -

Americans are republicans, while loyalists are monarchist, such is why they fled America back to the British Empire. You are nationally schizo. Cognitive dissonance sucks eh? -

Moonlight Graham replied to Moonlight Graham's topic in Political Philosophy
Organizing people by nation leads to the least internal conflict and instability, including politically. Countless examples through history of that, including in Canada. Besides empires, which are often unsustainable and short-lived, this is the way large society's have almost always organized themselves. America has had some mixed success at a country made up of different ethnicities, but the success has hinged on creating a new nation (Anglo-speaking American) which immigrants from all backgrounds have assimilated into. Canada is running a multicultural post-national experiment with a high risk of failure, Quebec vs Anglos vs Indigenous being examples. -

What's the difference between Britain and France and Germany? Between Japan and South Korea? It isn't race. They're all nation-states formed based on distinct cultures. -

Montreal: Cars vs Bicycles -Huge Waste
Moonlight Graham replied to August1991's topic in Local Politics in Canada
Anglo? 1980's? Doesn't count LOL -
Its possible, but also possible it doesn't happen. There are no guarantees, we'll need to want to make these changes, and right now there is little will for it. If people are lazy and too comfortable then maybe the only way out is forced uncomfortableness via some kind of economic collapse. Canada is well on its way, we're a very unproductive society (according to analysts) with an economy led by oil, banking, and housing real estate, the latter 2 of which are simply leeching off the incomes of hard-working people.

MAGA civil war starting?
Moonlight Graham replied to BeaverFever's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
MAGA is a cult and Donald is their leader. Given that you aren't a "Trump supporter" you should realize this. It's very cultish of you to assume that anyone who doesn't suck Donald's testicle is a leftwinger. Yes I am dehumanizing MAGA folks because i'm calling them stupid gullible sheep, and a sheep isn't a human. Baaaaaah. -
MAGA civil war starting?
Moonlight Graham replied to BeaverFever's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
MAGA is one person, his name is Donald. Everything he says, MAGA shall comply, even when its an obvious lie about people stealing elections from him because his ego can't handle losing. MAGA (Donald Trump) is too stupid too consider the complexities of something like the economic impact of work visas or tarrifs. Don-Don has the attention-span of a 2-year old and certainly won't read anything about those subjects. He prefers TV, which is why his cabinet is filled with people he saw on cable TV. -
Men Dropping College Classes

Men are toxic and shouldn't go to school. They should stay home and have babies and cook dinner. -

The rights and freedoms granted by 2nd wave feminism shouldn't be banned again, they've just been abused and taken to an extreme. Every virtue, when taken to an extreme, becomes a vice. Women should be free to choose whatever they wish. Not every women is fit to be a mother. I'm not proposing A Handmaid's Tale. However, some of those choices when enacted broadly are so anti-nature and anti-human that they are existential threats to western civilization itself. And most men support these choices so share some of the blame as well. Yes Muslim attitudes on women are stone-age barbaric. If you support maintaining a society that has sub-replacement level birth rates that society will cease to exist. No society in human history could survive such a sustained demographic trend, it's just basic math. If all societies in the world followed the path of western feminists the human species would eventually go extinct, and that's an objective fact backed by data. Everyone is also free to throw themselves off a cliff or eat paint chips.
