Usually from the weird uncles that told us Mussolini made the trains run on time and how BC Premier Dave Barrett was 'one clever Jew". As we're all aware there are many fellow retrogrades that can't cope with modern life and praise the 'good old days' of hangings, strap, the Lord's Prayer and Narional Anthems in school, when slapping your kids and wives was acceptable. before they "let" Natives vote or drink in bars, 'allowed' gays to NOT be jailed and sent women in pants home from work or school. Oh yes, it's just so awful having to put up with someone's accent or turban instead of your own Mom or Grqmpa's German, Polish or Scot one at home every day. And dressing like a normal person when the Minister comes for dinner and SHE says the Grace beforehand. Yeah dealing with smog and being told not to pick the salmonberries in the alley because of the lead exhaust, septic tanks and party lines, dumping used oil in the ditches were so much better. You lefty pinkos are truly the most dumb ass buffoons around. No one is asking for those things you mentioned to return, dumb ass. We can see as to why Canada is in such a phkd up mess, thanks to dumb ass leftist liberal twits like you around. But what Canada does not need is pronoun concerns, the many genders, and pretty much all woke bullshit. Your phkn Marxist dictator hero in Ottawa hasn't done a dam thing to make and help keep Canada great. Your woke multiculturalism/diversity has only made Canada worse, you dumb ass. So again, i ask you? What has your Marxist hero in Ottawa done to try and make Canada great again? It is amazing as too how many times you need to be asked that question before you decide to reply, lefty. What's the problem? Can't find anything good, Herbert, the 🤡. LOL. Quote
taxme Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 5 hours ago, I am Groot said: Oh yes. Though once again I'm going to quibble with your choice of a word 'hate' has become one of the primary pejorative terms in the leftist lexicon, and it is flung at anyone who even mildly quibbles with aspects of activist demands. I would suggest most of the antipathy, dislike or distrust of Black people today is due to the suspicion that that particular community commits a disproportionate amount of crime, esp violent crime and that its members are thus threatening to be around. There's also their inferior economic performance driven, as far as I can tell, mostly by their predilection for fatherless families and lack of interest in education as compared to other communities. Thus it's within the ability of the Black community to remedy this by simply remedying their behaviour. Didn't it? Remember that Canada was already changing in the 1970s or we'd never have altered the immigration rules in the first place. And we were changing without constant nagging or lecturing or laws or human rights agencies or DEI or antiracism or any of that other garbage. What makes you think it wouldn't have continued to change? What makes you think ANY of that has made any difference whatsoever? Studies on the antiracism lectures given to people at work, for example, say they not only don't help but tend to increase resentment and racism. Maybe the cause of much of the resentment/dislike white Canadians feel towards minorities is due to resentment about such people being given unfair and unjustified preference over them by government and industry. If you have not noticed lately that most commercials that we watch on TV today are made up of approx. 70% black people of color. For a minority, that is always whining and crying about being oppressed, well, they sure do take up a lot of commercial space and time on TV. Indeed, it is thanks to our left wing liberal controlled governments, that we see how white people of color are being unfairly treated and discriminated against. Creeping in woke liberal socialism programs and agendas at white people of colors expense. I, as a white people of color, am getting quite tired of seeing how white people of color are being shoved to the side for non-white minorities. We can all thank woke, multiculturalism/diversity programs and agendas for that bit of racism and discrimination being applied towards white people of color. Our left wing liberal governments are the ones behind all of this anti-white racism going on in Canada. If you are white, you need not apply is their game. Just my opinion. 1 Quote

Do you get ANY government services of any kind you don't pay for? Are there so many western expats in these countries that they sometimes flood the downtown streets so you can hardly see a local? Do they celebrate Christmas quietly in their compound or do they go out and take over main streets and loudly celebrate it there? Ya know what, I actually started answering your questions before the snark detector went off... I'll get this one for you though: 13 hours ago, I am Groot said: ...do they go out and take over main streets and loudly celebrate it there? No, expats in places like Saudi don't set up nativity scenes all over the town square. Most companies place a bit of value on maintaining good relations with the host nation so it's a good way to get fired... but y'all knew that right? My point was (and is) that people don't easily divest themselves of things like religion, customs, traditions, celebrations or particularly, old animosities and hatreds that go way back. So, If Canadians are reluctant to give up frivolous sh&^ like beer and bikinis what would make anyone think a few breaths of Canadian air at the airport is going to change the hearts, minds and souls of new immigrants? If you choose to import people in bulk from radical and religiously fundamentalist countries were animosities run long and deep, and you do it with a pi$$ poor eye on security then I see the results as predictable. Then, If you reallt want to pour gas on the fire warehouse the new folks vertically as close as possible to the ethnic population they despise in their home country.

And soon you too will believe you can buy a house in West Vancouver if only we cut pensions, got rid of universal health care, the CBC and cut corporate taxes. There's a small part of me that would like to see all of your dreams come true but that's only to determine what pain threshold causes you to tap and how far into the vortex you're willing to venture before you do. My only hesitation in doing that is the amount of damage already inflicted and the amount of time it will take to unfu^% your efforts to date. By almost any metric, California is good model for assessing what happens when reality is ignored in favour of narrative. The Santa Anna winds are a reality, so is a vast collection of brush. Ever drive a motorcycle through Ontario at night during summer? The number of tree hugging motorists driving 40 KPH over the limit who toss lit cigarettes out their windows is staggering... funny how you tend to notice such things on a bike eh? I don't think it's all that complicated, https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/fires-rage-across-los-angeles-county-forcing-thousands-to-evacuate-their-homes Is there a better Canadian version of that than Jasper? Were you really expecting a different outcome there? I wasn't.... How is it that people who blame global warming aren't demanding better brush management prior to the Goddess of Reality taking her annual stroll through the California brush boonies? On any number of fronts I watch the machinations of madness in awe and it invariably generates the same two questions, when will they tap, and what did you think was going to happen? Personally, I always stop before anything gets broken but the Goddess doesn't possess any sense of compassion, moderation or remorse and that makes her dangerous. So, if you're relying on Harmony, Unity and Destiny to save the day I think you'll be disappointed. That "reality chick" is power house and she's going to tap out all three of them... and then, I fear, she's coming for you (and by extension we and us). And being as I've become so fond of you, I'd really hate to see that happen. Edited January 8 by Venandi Quote

This is my biggest issue. Global warming is supposed to be this Unstoppable disaster that can only be fended off with our carbon taxes and yet the governments for the most part have done nothing whatsoever to try and adapt and mitigate. This is despite the fact that every single person knows that there is nothing we can do to reduce emissions in Canada that is going to substantially impact global warming. We are just too small In fairness the DC government in the last couple of years has taken significant steps to help adapt by increasing the forest firefighting budget and launching programs to make sure that the elderly and lower income people have reasonable access to air conditioning in the case of another extreme heat event that killed so many a few years ago. So kudos to them for taking appropriate action, but the federal government has done nothing and most other governments have done nothing and even what the NDP here in British Columbia has done is just a drop in the bucket. So much for it being a crisis Quote

That's the part that baffles me. If you believe it's happening with existential rapidity, how do you not take reasonable measures to mitigate the threat? How is it that Herb and the boys aren't demanding that they do? Could there possibly be a less effective way of approaching it than with a carbon Tax? If memory serves, about 70% of Canadians supported the carbon tax (in polling) before the last election... not so much anymore though. Imagine if we actually invoked laws to ensure we hit those Paris Accord targets, it would reduce the current objection to carbon taxation to a whisper and thrust us into a scenario that made the height of Covid seem like the good ole days. How do you even begin to govern a nation of Herbs? Does anyone ride horses on logging roads anymore? Do they do it with their eyes open? Like how do you NOT see what's right in front of your own eyes? It literally gob smacks me... how does a progressive mommy in Jasper respond to a child who asks "Mommy, why are all the trees red?" At the most basic level of situational awareness did anyone look at a map and compare what they saw right in front of their own eyes with the prevailing winds? The question "WTF did you think was going to happen ?" isn't RW MAGA sarcasm or posturing... it's not political and it's not even rhetorical. In its purest form it's an expression of profound disbelief. Willful blindness at this level goes beyond religion... it has all the hallmarks of a cult. Edited January 8 by Venandi Quote

It's SUCH a crisis! Yet... not only was the carbon tax the 'big solution' the libs proposed even tho it had no chance of meeting even the paris accords, but to add insult to injury they didn't even HAVE any estimates of how much it would reduce emissions and didn't put in place any methods to track it at all! It's their flagship climate policy and they didn't even care enough to make sure there'd be any way to see if it was doing something. That's how 'Much' they cared. And you were a 'denier' if you questioned that. it's all been a horrible joke. Clearly they don't believe it's a "Crisis" Quote

You can make things even better by not bothering to screen them - by telling yourself you're being noble and egalitarian, not bothering to discover if their values and beliefs might be completely opposed to ours. And by telling them once they arrive, that Canada is an illegitimate, genocidal, racist colonial country with no common culture or values, that every institution is systemically racist, and that they shouldn't bother trying to integrate.

You don't think interracial rape can be a crime of hatred? Remember when that black hooker said four white college boys had raped her? Remember how that was depicted as the absolute essence of racist white males? Course, turned out she lied. We've seen tons of racial sexual crimes against white women and girls by people with darker skins making it perfectly clear race was one of their primary motivations. Hell, we have that grooming scandal in the UK where hundreds of Pakistani men raped and passed around girls as young as 11 because they were white whores and infidels. And ordinary violence is also about hate a lot of times. And it's overwhelmingly black on white rather than the reverse. On 1/7/2025 at 4:45 PM, Black Dog said: Slavery stopped because a small group of loud and obnoxious people constantly nagged or lectured people until their view became more accepted and widespread The British were opposed to slavery for hundreds of years before the movement sprang up to outlaw slavery in the colonies. Slavery was abolished in GB sometime around 1200. When foreigners arrived with slaves they found they couldn't enforce their claims on them. On a few occasions, they tried to do so in the courts and those became national sensations and they lost. And there's a difference between 'obnoxious people' nagging, or in other words, convincing others to change their minds, and the government and its institutions hectoring and lecturing and forcing those changes by threatening and punishing those who don't. Same thing with women voting.

No. What happens in a contemporary setting is if you make an improper joke or remark or express and opinion that goes against the grain the government institutions and their bureacrats do their best to crush you.

If the boss is Chinese, he hires Chinese. If they're Pakistani, they hire Pakistanis, if Lebanese, they hire Lebanese. Quote

Even on CNBC, which I rather doubt has a particularly high percentage of Black viewers, every second commercial features black people. The Black population of Canada is 4%, of Ottawa 8%, so why is the only morning show in the city anchored by two black people? Were they really the most talented who could be found? Or are the progressive station owners virtue signaling about how open-minded they are? It's ridiculous. And if racism is as widespread as certain people insist, why are advertisers so prominently featuring black actors and actresses? Wouldn't that cause hostility towards their products? Quote
