Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.
How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?
Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?
Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?
Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?
Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.
Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.
We will tax you so that you are financially destitute. But in our infinite generosity, we'll drop a few dollars in your bank account to help you with your groceries. The collective crimes that are being committed on Canadians by their government is astounding. Future historians will marvel at how complacent the populace was. [I also reposted this reply.]
So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people.
And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation.
You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city.
How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil?
Why is this so hard for you?
This is the image CBC chose for this headline. Not women celebrating, but women mourning this terrible person.
Something is so very wrong within our Country. I don't want to pay for this organization anymore.

Ridiculous.

@danielfoch I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

@offgridstone@Dave_Eby Indeed most immigrants would agree with her
Then name was used for historic facts was indeed used by the British historically.
Instead we pretend today it was all prosperous, glorious and peaceful prior to European context when in fact it was not.
@JohnMHillier@Dave_Eby Any controversial issue ie finding the truth has 2 sides
The truth is complicated eg lack of a discussion of the alternative to res schools ie doing nothing as basic education, food & healthcare was provided!
Read this report .. then decide.
