I'd been kind of drifting away from watching hockey for years but the shift over to Sportsnet is really what killed it off completely for me. I can't even point to specific reasons why. Maybe it was just realizing that the whole "Canada's game" thing and associated marketing campaigns from complimentary brands like Tim’s, crappy tire and molson is just a ridiculous play on nationalistic emotions. But good luck attracting new fans with your 85 year old racist who is given 10 minutes on Saturday to boil over on whatever has been stewing in his pudding brain all week, Sportsbet!

infernal machines posted:i'd love for him to list the wars we've fought to defend the canadian way of life If I remember when I'm in the office tomorrow, I'll see if I can find a passage of how the war was sold to Canadians ("high diction"). The stuff that was said is absolutely unreal, even when remembering that it's century-old hyper-nationalism. e: found it quoted in a fb status update: quote:“Yet, like Chown, they did not waver in their conviction that the British side was carrying the torch of civilization itself. A victory for Germany would be a victory for thuggishness and a defeat for evolution — a return to medieval despotism and slavery. It would be a victory for the “German God,” who was a mere figment of the mind,” and not to be confused with what he “God of Christ” who was cheering for our soldiers as they died nobly for the “redemption of generations as yet unborn.” It would also spell the end to the end to the world’s greatest political achievement, a British Empire within which a “new soul” was animating the Dominion of Canada.” Hand Knit has issued a correction as of 21:05 on Nov 10, 2019 |

I only saw one poppy this year. On an immigrant, but that doesn't really mean that much when we're talking dozens to hundreds of people. All the D&D poppy chat thus really weirded me out for its seeming lack of relevance.

it's another contrived media narrative that postmedia likes to push re: rose tinted canadian values bullshit. to the extent that it exists, it exists because they keep bringing it up. it's just another part of their lamenting the loss of some idealized old-stock (white) canada

F(l)oundering? Not on your life. Its being passed to a new generation.

I mean, I had a pretty honest talk with her about our family who fought in WWII. The main points were that they were only teenagers when they went off to fight and that a lot of the soldiers killed in war are just children not much older than her. I feel like that was enough darkness for one Remembrance Day.
