there's no need for America to overthrow Canada

when Canada has already overthrown itself

the Liberal hysteria about American invasion is misplaced

America wants no part in trying to govern the Post National State Woke Progressive lunatic asylum

quite the opposite

America is want to build a wall to keep the Post National State out

let the Commies freeze as a Hermit Kingdom trapped behind their own Iron Curtain, by all means

The fact that there’s truth in these statements says how far we’ve fallen.  Poilievre better be tough and forthright.  The headwinds are bad.

this life is but a childhood

souls are forged by crucible therein

bear the Vimy Cross upon your shoulders, buckling under its weight

on the road to Canadian Calvary upon Hill One Four Five at Pas de Calais

I have to admit that Vimy is really the Canadian Holy of Holies.  Only an utter demon would dare besmirch the symbols.  Thank God we have the Peace Tower at the centre of our Parliament.  Our ancestors understood what mattered and made sure it was the cornerstone of Ottawa.  Too bad the Post-National State creepers now dominate those chambers.

Remembrance Day is not for us, we who grow old

Remembrance Day ; is for the fallen

I understand how you feel about those who passed, and they are the ultimate recipients of the honour on that day, but Remembrance Day is for combat/theatre of war veterans too, and especially for silver-cross moms and the families of the fallen and those suffering from physical and mental wounds.

I'm sad to say that I have friends who wear parts of their uniforms on Nov 11, and IMO that's wrong, but to each their own. A couple of them have been cops for the last 30 years, I'm not all that butthurt about cops doing that because they've all risked their lives for this country too, but I agree that Remembrance Day is getting somewhat cheapened lately.

indeed

but this is nothing new

none of us who joined in the 1980's had any illusions about fighting for the Canadian public

the first time I marched out on Remembrance Day,

the only civilians who showed up were leftist protesters calling us "warmongers" and "baby killers"

none the less, we had been fully indoctrinated to expect this

we understood that there are no citizens soldiers in Canada

we Soldiers of the Crown were mercenaries for HM The Queen

volunteer professionals, only forsworn to defend the Regiment, Colours & Commander-in-Chief

and the mission was simply to deter a thermonuclear war at the Trace on the Inner German Border

That Nena song actually encapsulates what Germans lived through in the '80s more than us Canadians. They were all receiving hard-core NBCD training as little children because the threat of war there was so real. Canadians are hugely ignorant to the geopolitical realities that a lot of other countries face.

 

The only places I ever paraded in front of civvies was Digby NS, right before I finished basic, and once in Victoria. They were both warm, receptive crowds. 

Every time you ever march in the Navy at least one of the songs is this:

My favourite:

In days of yore, from Britain's shore,
Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride
And, joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine (Also sung: The lily, thistle, shamrock, rose)
The Maple Leaf forever!

Chorus
   The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
   The Maple Leaf forever!
   God save our King and Heaven bless
   The Maple Leaf forever!

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side,
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield them never!
Our watchword evermore shall be
"The Maple Leaf forever!"

Chorus

Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
May peace forever be our lot,
And plenteous store abound:
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green o'er freedom's home
The Maple Leaf forever!

Chorus

On merry England's far famed land
May kind heaven sweetly smile,
God bless old Scotland evermore
and Ireland's Em'rald Isle!
And swell the song both loud and long
Till rocks and forest quiver!
God save our King and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!

 

Our commie b1tch PM cries every time that song is played.

Would be laughable if some people didn't believe it as truth. Fortunately, they're concentrated on this forum and deluded enough to think they're average folk.

One only has to compare StatsCan Census 1981 to the most recent Census results to see how fast and furious the population has shifted from 80% European ancestry to 30% European ancestry to understand that the traditions, culture, and public morality associated with the founding cultures of Canada are simply crowded out of existence. Did the majority of Canadians want this or was it imposed without much public discussion or debate?

I’m not suggesting that the influences are terrible. No doubt there are benefits and costs, but people shouldn’t be surprised if they feel that their communities and ways of relating have changed radically.  Canada has had the highest immigration in the developed world for many years now.  What’s more, due to our pitiful birth rate, that’s likely to continue for generations to come.  Canada’s dominant religion will be Islam.  Indigenous, who have a positive birth rate, will wring more money out of Parliament.  The US doesn’t have this same rampant immigration and it has a higher birth rate than Canada, which will soon be a primarily Asian country but with growing numbers of Africans.  It’s also increasingly LGBTQ2S+, which lowers our birth rate further.  Trudeau also brought in free birth control and expanded assisted suicide, which lower our birth rate further.  We’re also more urban, which lowers our birth rates further. We also have unlimited abortion up to the expected day of birth, which lowers our birth rate further.  All of these policies mean that high immigration is here to stay and Canada’s cultural roots are fast on their way to extinction.

These are facts, not opinions. If you like this trend, you’re in the right place.

The Maple Leaf Forever was written by Alexander Muir of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada

in the wake of the Battle of Ridgeway 1866 in which he served

which incited Confederation thereafter

O' Canada is the French Canadian song, written for St-Jean-Baptiste Day in 1880

They taught us about The Maple Leaf Forever in about Gr 3 or 4, but I don't remember anything about it. That would be close to 50 years ago now.

This is not correct. The percentage of Canadians of European ancestry in 2021, was 69.8%. Today, it would probably be roughly 2/3 of Canadians, not 30%.

Aside from that, the number of LGBT Canadians is going to always be the same percentage of the population, considering it's genetic, and has never been over 10% of the population (most likely 4-6%). People today are more likely to identify as being LGBT, since there is not the stigma there was for coming out that there was decades ago.

I really doubt Islam will ever be the dominant religion in Canada. Currently, its roughly 5% of the population, which is lower than most Western European countries. The only way I can see Canada becoming a Islamic majority country, is if there is a mass conversion of Christian to Islam, and that has never happened in North America. In fact the only time this happened in Europe, during the Islamic Empire, in Spain and the Balkans, when people were forced to convert.

Pew did some research on Muslim religiosity in the US, over time, and it found that they were losing their religion at similar rates to other religions. Even more than some Evangelical Christians. 

Social change is scary, though, especially for the older folks.

following in course with the Pearson Liberal's 1965 colours

I no longer fly that Liberal Party of Canada flag

I no longer sing the Liberal Party of Canada song

I embrace the Post National State by asserting Identity Politics

only fly the Red Ensign

only sing The Maple Leaf Forever
