Zeitgeist Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Cynicism is the last refuge of the idealist. Dougie is actually a Canadian patriot who is so disgusted at how much the Canadian government has sold out the country that he can no longer support this watered down national project. I mostly agree with his assessment, but I can’t give up on Canada because it’s the best place I know. It doesn’t take long after visiting, living in, and working in other countries before you realize how blessed we are in Canada. Appreciate what we have and work to improve it. Everyone wants to be here for reasons, so it’s worth salvaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzermandius19 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) under the onslaught of the information war the weak will perish Canada is weak it cannot be salvaged and even if it could that would be a bad thing there is no point in clinging to Canada's corpse it is time to move on Canada is dead wishing that were not so, will not save it nostalgia won't save it either Edited June 24, 2021 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 in terms of the Westphalian paradigm, Canadian Confederation is the not the agreement which defends me I am defended by the United Kingdom - United States Security Agreement ( UKUSSA ) so that is my de facto Westphalian Nation State for all intents & purposes the Canada Act 1982 is just a tax jurisdiction, Canadian Confederation simply a bureaucracy upon my neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
