Both Pierre Elliot and Justin have a hatred of Canada . . . both are traitors.

I can't say I actually like Canada myself

I hold to my oath to the monarch under the Constitution Act, formally as a condition of residence

but I've always found Canada to be a left wing lunatic asylum

it's been this way for my entire life

I think Canadians actually deserve to the Trudeau dynasty

there's really nothing more Canadian than the Trudeau's

they are the royalty which Canadians choose in lieu of the British Crown

let Canadians wallow in their usurpation

this was the same sort of thing his father PET was advancing back in the 70's

Pierre Trudeau was frankly just as hated by conservatives, for the same reasons

Justin is really just trying to live up to his father's legacy

War Measures Act, the National Energy Project, runaway inflation, this is the 1970s all over again

Except that PET was a lot more intelligent and created a third way Canadian identity that held up quite well for a couple of generations.  I’d say that his alienation of the West, reduction of the military (including keeping nuclear missiles off our soil), and his Multiculturalism program are coming back to haunt us, because Canadian culture is constantly under attack, our military can’t rebuild or recruit fast enough, and our resource sector, which could’ve made us as rich as Norway, is overregulated. Other than containing Quebec separatism and adding some cosmopolitan pinache, PET’s legacy is proving somewhat failed. Junior pretty much sold the family farm. The next Conservative government will need at least two terms to clean up the ashes.  We don’t know what other “crises” will beset us in the meantime.  Anyway, hope springs eternal.

only to the leftist lunatics

conservatives always despised PET with a passion

I remember the angry mobs coming out to curse PET

those British North American conservatives were far more passionate in their hatred of PET

those conservatives would have actually rioted in the face of the lunacy being imposed now

"I think Canadians actually deserve the Trudeau dynasty" . . . . No!, eastern Canada deserves the Trudeau fungus.  Western Canada should be a country unto itself.

You can't even define 'woke' other than to include everything you don't personally like into the category. So therefore you're falsely assuming recognizing anything queer is woke. Most likely 'left' too.

It's been defined many times here and it's not complicated.  Saying that just shows your inability to deal with basic facts. 

[Zeitgeist]

Canada and America need a restoration of epic proportions.

The irony of all these precious self-righteous bs artists is that most of them would collapse like a house of cards when times get tough.  It will be the real conservatives taking care of the trans people and making them feel accepted, using their preferred pronouns, etc.  I would be one of them.  But that’s just being kind.  It’s like telling someone their gawdy tie looks nice, placing compassion over truth.  I think we’ve gotten so afraid of offending people that we’ve stopped telling the truth, and now ridiculous policies and ideas are being pushed by dubious characters.  We can be kind without being stupid or false.

Once again insists repeating something defines and makes things true.
Define it all for us then.
Other than 'some social element or cause I personally don't agree with'

Maybe that was the entire point. Control their minds, you can control their bodies.

We had an entire thread on this you can look up, but let's say I do. What will change. You'll still deny that there's any definition because your tiny little brain can't cope with the concept. 5 minutes from now you'll demand that I define it again because every 5 minutes you losers have to demand that there is no such thing as a definition for woke. The fact that you're asking for it here again is proof of that.

Here, I'll give you the super simplistic version just because I'm feeling nice. It'll be amusing to hear you cry baby over it.

In a slightly general sense, woke can be defined as being policy or politics that is based on social ideology more than fact or reason, usually representing a more extreme position.

Saying that we should legalize dope because it's really not that harmful and people should have their own choice is not woke. Saying we should be distributing crack in school in order to teach kids not to have a negative viewpoint of drug addicts is woke.

Saying the trans people should have rights is not woke. Saying that we should mutilate small children in order to show our support of trans people is woke.

Saying that we should have a social safety net to help people who are struggling to get back on their feet and to protect those who can't work is not woke. Saying everybody that doesn't work should be guaranteed to have a comfortable income paid for by those who are working is woke

 

Is there anything else you are teeny tiny little brain with the attention span of a goldfish needs? Are we good for the next 5 minutes till you ask this again? Everybody knows what woke means.

Absolutely. The left thrives on repeated sayings at this point. Repeating the same bullet points over and over.

For example, trying to claim that people don't know what woke means 🙄  (herbie.  STAAAAAAAAAARE. ) 

So one of the ways that you do that is crush any dissenting voice. If all people here is that gas was higher when Biden took over and they don't hear anybody say anything else, pretty soon they believe it. Even if you can convince them that anyone that says different is a crackpot radical right-wing homophobic xenocidal white supremacist with an Oedipus Complex then you can dismiss them and say you don't have to listen to that.

That is why you see the left even here constantly relying on the same three tricks. They try and diminish the importance of something, they try and dehumanize the person saying it rather than attacking the argument, and then they demand endless cites and try to pick some minor definition to bloviate over till everyone forgets what they were talking about.

I agree with the idea that there's a mass morality at play, and that governments and cities are not just sanctioning but jumping on the bandwagon.

And I agree that it effectively excludes certain groups from the public square.  And that's a negative effect.

But when a populist like Ford gets involved, you know it's because the numbers are telling him to.  The angle that these festivals are unpopular doesn't compute.

I think that some social conservative types can't accept that they're in the minority.

No single event would not exclude someone. 

In the US at least.. this is a first amendment issue. A parade is a form of visual expression. As long as there is not intentional nudity.. there is no crime committed. If you allow for the first amendment to exist.. then a given person is going to have to tolerate speech, content, expression that they do not agree with. I live 250 yards from a church and being an atheist.. I do not agree with them. But I leave it be. I respect that they are allowed to not be exactly the same as myself.
