I've been getting some really bad snipes lately so here's a tax: [video type=""]youtube.com/watch?v=WKLMI-vMGiE[/video] Colonel Cancer posted:At least 69% of all posts itt should originate in Canada or they'll take us off the internet CanCon rule is only 35%, and Our Lady Peace were actually a loving awesome band. wesleywillis posted:Canada is a country that is pretty good, but has also done some awful poo poo. Its a land of contrasts. I like living here and like my flag, but I hate those freedom cunts. gently caress them. I mostly feel the same way, although after the indigenous mass graves, our laughable 'reconciliation' responses, and especially after the truck haul putsch, I admit I see our flag in a very different light. I certainly won't fly one again, and just seeing one flying off the back of a car gives me an uneasy feeling, like there's a really good chance the driver is an unvaccinated white nationalist. I mean the thought was always there but now it's a... forgive me, it's a real red flag. Everyone who isn't a chud knows that Tim Horton's is dogshit, but it's still so ingrained in most of us that stopping at one after a music festival or other road trip excursion is almost more than a cultural tradition. Obviously it's mostly for lack of alternatives but there is something welcoming about the environment and a nice hot crap-flavoured coffee when you're tired and hungover and reeking of a campfire and sore from being stuffed into a full car with your luggage on your lap. Hockey is fine, IMO, as someone who got into it later in life - neither of my parents were sports fans, I was raised on music. My college roommates and their friends were chain-smoking hosers and the Leafs sad camaraderie kind of grew on me. It's a fun activity to turn your brain off and enjoy with your neanderthal buddies and a dozen beer. But hoo boy, we gotta hang our heads in shame because it just might be the actual Most Problematic Sport. It's a rich boys' club rife with helicopter parents, racism and sexual assault, on literally every level from little league to the pros. 'gently caress hockey' is absolutely a fair assessment. My vote in any election should be worth at least twice that of someone who lives in Muskoka. Mister Speaker fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Oct 1, 2022 |

People flying flags were always nationalist assholes regardless of where they are from imho.

the French version of O Canada is way more metal than the English English: O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! 𝄆 O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. French: O Canada! Land of our ancestors Glorious deeds circle your brow For your arm knows how to wield the sword Your arm knows how to carry the cross; Your history is an epic Of brilliant deeds And your valour steeped in faith 𝄆 Will protect our homes and our rights. also apparently I'm distantly related on my mom's side to the guy who wrote the English version

I went to Canada once, it was pretty fun, their cigarettes come in weird boxes and have weird filters and I didn't get my passport stamped. That is my Canada story

However, I'm not an English professor, but "all of us command" seems like bad grammar. Should it not be something like "all of our command"?

How is Canada holding up money wise? There's got to be a shortage since you've got to reprint everything with the new King's face on it? I saw where it wasn't doing good and that's just bad, but you know that's what happens when that sort of thing happens and you have to be careful about it

Maybe we'll just take royalty off the money now that she's dead. We removed a lot of dead white men from our money lately, its a good start. Also got rid of some racist statues like y'all did.

I saw where it wasn't doing good and that's just bad, but you know that's what happens when that sort of thing happens and you have to be careful about it apparently, all their money is currently printed on the hides of creatures that are no longer extant. As a result, the nation can no longer create money. This will lead to the adoption of bottle caps or "caps" as the official currency of the realm.

Is there a rule that the head of state has to be updated on commonwealth monies when they croak? We've had dead prime ministers on our money for hundreds of years probably. What's one dead queen? Anyway if they do update the bills I expect there will be a sizeable backlash about putting ol' Chuck on them. I've already seen some great suggestions for alternatives, like Alanis Morissette.

Did you know Canada's main approach to combating braindrain of everyone successful leaving the country is just to punish you for daring to leave by a deemed disposition on literally everything you own. Also they retain tax withholdings on any equity grants issued to you while you were a tax resident, forever. Even once you leave the country and are not a tax resident, nor employee of any canadian company. They're gonna keep taxing you! Not sure why anybody would try to simp for a country that is utterly non-competitive and survives only by draconian protectionism dragging in every industry resulting in unmitigated consumer sodomy. See: dairy, healthcare, education, housing, telecom, air travel to name a few. There's a reason 40% of all medical doctors leave for the united states within 5 years of completing residency. A quarter of the entire GDP is chinese money laundering by the real estate market. The entire Canadian identity is nothing but patting yourself on the back for how Not American you are. Despite of course 98% of all media consumed originating from the US and virtually all products used being designed in the US and then later imported. Canada somehow manages to be the single worst emitter of greenhouse gases per capita in the world. Worse than the united states. Methanar fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Oct 2, 2022 |

Methanar posted:Name every famous Canadian musician and actor you can think of. What country do they live and work in? Not that it matters, but plenty of successful Canadian actors and musicians still live in Canada at least part time if not fully. Seth Rogan, Mike Myers, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Drake just off the top of my head. As far as working in the US, yes, that's where the majority of the work is, but you do also know that Canada's film industry is huge, right? Like, a large portion of American media is filmed in Canada. Most scenes of "New York" are actually Toronto. Almost the entire CW lineup is filmed in one block in Vancouver. Anyway, more to the point, what's your problem, man?

I went to Ottawa for a convention and ended up sitting at a hotel bar with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She was a French-Canadian model of some sort and appreciated my stammering recommendation of the hotel's steak frites.

I mean I agree that the sight of my flag does not evoke the same feelings it did even 5 years ago, nevermind when I was a kid. The freedom lovers ruined it for me by flying it off their car taped to hockey sticks and celebrating their desire to not have empathy.
