Is Canada drowning in self-pity and guilt?

[Dougie93]

in the case of Canada, we are called to be loyal to keeping the French in, the Americans out, and the Indians down

it's just a bad idea

it is inherently corrupt and corrupting, it poisons every well

so I don't feel any loyalty to that, doesn't matter what the CBC says, I don't feel it, in my heart & in my mind

[Dougie93]

this is why the elites in Canada feel the need to import American Wokeness now

American Wokeness is a power play, to divide & conquer America

it really has nothing to do with Canada

but the Canadian elites sense  that they are losing the room, people are freeing their minds of Canadian dogma

so Wokeness provides them with the thought crime totalitarianism to try to keep people locked in

[Dougie93]

it's like Bill C-10

that's the totalitarian thought police and everybody knows it

but how do they try to sell it to Canadians ?

they are just "protecting Canadian culture"

this is a culture so ethereal mind you, that it requires this Iron Curtain to prop it up

that's not a culture worth defending in the first place

but they get Canadians to rally around the totalitarian thought police, by invoking the American menace at the gates

same as they do in Russia

[Dougie93]

its not about being hard on oneself

it's not about aggrandizing oneself nor putting oneself down

at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them

The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. In Flanders fields.

it just comes down to where do you hold the line ?

Canada is the totalitarian thought police now, that's the thing our soldiers fought & died to defend us against

this is the point where you have to say, sorry, Canada, but  I just can't follow you where you are going

People in the western nations have been brainwashed into wallowing in national self-pity.

true

but some nations are pitiful

like Canada for instance

and Canadians are brainwashed into thinking highly of it for no good reason

more Canadians are oblivious to Canada's faults than foreigners that are

all Canada means is Confederation

Confederation is simply an agreement to group all the British colonies here into one big British colony

the second largest jurisdiction in Canada, Quebec, has actually refused to sign the constitution

Canada is a basket case, it's not even clear what it stands for so that you could asses whether you love or hate it

they have simply been brainwashed and do not know their history

those who know the history and have been subjected to less of the brainwashing naturally are more informed

the vast majority of the people here simply mimic Americans

they see how Americans act in relation to the American republic

not having any real culture of their own, these so called "Canadians" simply act like Americans

they say things like "love it or leave it", which was an American mantra from the 1960's, so an imported paradigm

that Canada is just Confederation, and that is not a republic, nor even a unitary state, never occurs to them

[Dougie93]

the historical reality of Canada of course, is quite different

it doesn't fit into the American republican paradigm at all

in fact Canada is an anathema, an antithesis of the American republic

a French country founded in 1603, then taken by force of arms by the British in 1763

this resulted in two countries, a British country called Canada, ruling over a French country called Quebec

so the Americanized "love it or leave it" paradigm is ridiculously nonsensical on the face of it

when half the population of this Confederation never joined it in the first place

and they still haven't, still haven't ratified the Canadian constitution to this day

while the rest of the formerly "British" Canadians have simply adopted America as their de facto country now

so the more sensible motto would be : "who even knows what this basket case Confederation is for anymore ?"
