This is what the Left in Canada has been reduced to

Says the guy who is such a French nationalist he wants to separate from Canada so he can live among only the pure loine Francophones, and slash immigration because they aren't believers in the glory of the French language.

No offense, but French is the language of love.

English, the language of dogs. You have to understand your place, thus why you have a French overlord in Trudeau.

I said I don't find Antifa to be a problem, I said they're just college kids.  This is what college kids do, hippie flower power, punk rock, what have you.

Antifa doesn't bother me.  In America I defend their right to cause shit, right up to the threshold of Brandenburg v. Ohio.

They have the freedom to exceed that threshold as well, but then their actions are not constitutionally protected.

There were 4 arrests in the Bernier Rally. No indictments.

Tempers flared off, now everybody's fine.

French is a grossly inefficient, ineffective language even most Francophones don't understand and can't use properly. There does not need to be any protection for English, which spreads throughout the world. But the French know that people will abandon their shitty, complicated language if the government doesn't mandate its use. That's not only the case here in Quebec but even in France. I don't think another country in the world feels the need to 'protect' their language from encroachments from others because their people want to abandon it.

Meanwhile Dougie, a honest, hard working man in America, loses his home; he didn't trim his grass!

Such a great country!

Who are you even arguing with here? 

You're just chasing your own tail and throwing ad homs at straw men,

That's incredibly funny. English will be surpassed by French in this century. And you know why? Africans.

Africans are more intelligent than anglophones in Canada. Incredible, isn't it? They're able to learn the language, while you, the pseudo ruling class doesn't have the ability to do so. That's really funny for me.

You think your house can't be seized in Canada?

The SCOTUS has actually ruled to constrain civil asset forfeiture, the Canadian law is much more draconian now.

I never heard someone's house being seized for tall grass in my region.

Can be done.  I have to comply with the bylaws here, if I don't, a series of legal actions will be taken against me, if I just ignored and let my property degenerate into a overgrown shambles, ultimately  the municipality can get a court order to seize it.

Wow but I thought you really thought you loved your model out there! And how the grass is greener compared to here. Disappointed.

Like I said, I have right of return in both directions.   Best of both worlds, American freedom, with a Canadian summer home.

Tell you what, my American friends are jealous, they'd like to be able to come and go as they please too.

In the end, I simply won the life lottery in so many ways.   I'm a lucky guy, praise the Lord.

You know, you calling me a Frenchie makes me proud.

Proud to not be an American, proud to be a foe strong enough to be differentiated from the Canadian Anglophone.

I also speak, read, write, although poorly, two languages. You may only do one, barely. I am proud of it. And I'm proud of the Frenchies' heritage in North America. We decidedly were a positive influence over here. We invented great things, and were part of the advancement of Western Civilization, contributing massively in the Manhattan Project for instance.

Don't feel inferior, you're just an American.

It was a term of endearment,  I like the Quebecois, you don't bother me, vive le Quebec libre.

No American is demanding that you take pride in anything but your own thing, Americans like Quebec, we are republicans, we support republican ideals

Yes they're are, as even the "far right wingnuts" hate speech and their "Nazi" regalia are legally protected in the United States.    This is the critical difference between Canada and the U.S.     But Canada still imports and apes what it sees in American media and political culture...why ?

Whether it is a Black Lives Matter protest in Toronto or MAGA hats in Alberta, Canada embraces the American experience (and conflict)...not sure why that is.

Canadians share the anglo culture of Americans.  Canadians are consumers of anglo US media. If Americans all spoke Spanish this would be far less apparent.  Canadians also shop at Walmart and eat McDonalds.  Canadians like cheap prices and yummy fast food, they don't care as much about the complexities of constitutional law.

[Dougie93]

Bear in mind, I took an oath to the Crown of Canada and I maintain citizenship and residence in Canada, so while in Canada, I hold to my oath.

That doesn't include trying to deny Quebec right to self determination, Canada is a Confederation, it's not my role to tell Quebeckers what to do.,

Hence why the government is a nanny police state which makes shit up as it goes arbitrarily, while Canadians just shrug as they go to the McDonald's drive through.

[Dougie93]

 America is more dangerous than Canada, America can be dangerous, but that's freedom, freedom is not safety, freedom is dangerous.

It's not for everybody, for some people its too much, they recoil from it.

But you can't be the land of the free unless your are prepared to be the home of the brave, can't have one without the other.

The Canadian leftists even import their anti-American hatred and rhetoric from...America.   The Canadian right imports American power, vicariously.

Canadians like Naomi Klein made a career out of harvesting and spreading leftist American ideology...including climate change alarmism. The so called Leap Manifesto has its roots in Stanford University and many Canadians who made their fame and money in American media.

One has to go to Quebec to find anything organic and free of U.S. influence, and even that is not a given.

Indeed.  Canada is like little league America, but they're too scared to come up to bat in the Show.

Why not? You do. The Left is constantly denigrating conservatives.

And again, this is not existing in a vacuum. They've done this many times, and people like you, Jacee, and Dialamah have defended them. All your friends on the other board think they're heroes.

You're living in an imaginary world of your own making. I denigrate Trumpers, whom I don't think are real conservatives.

The people on the other board that caused you to have a big tantrum are generally centrist and have more varied perspectives than you will find on this board, which has become mostly an alt-right echo chamber. 

One with few real conservatives.

[Dougie93]

It;s like Justin Trudeau is the same as Trump.   Two sides of the same populist coin.

The difference is that Trudeau can get away with it and there's no real resistance.

Trudeau can obstruct justice at will,  there is no congress to constrain him, there will be no impeachment inquiry to investigate him.

Reason being, that would rock the boat, that would whip things up into a Hurly Burly, and Canada can't handle that.

The Republican Party is not conservative, the Republican Party is radical and it always has been, Party of Lincoln, Lincoln went to extremes to preserve the Union.

Conservatives move around between the two parties, the Democrats used to be the conservative party, the party of Dixie, the parties have shifting demographics and always have,

Trump is a big government interventionist New York liberal, but that is how he won, because he was able to flip Democrats in the Rust Belt to the GOP.
