    He's going to keep at it for months possibly years, just like his "Real Canadian" campaign where he declared my supposed camel riding past.

  2. Heh. The lefties and fake canadians wanting to shut down inconvenient speech on Canadian issues, which ironically is very Canadian and also ironically is in a thread objecting to the shutting down of free speech.

    As if there has ever been a thread on this forum that the lefties have not turned into an anti-American thread.

    We get it though. Canada looks ugly today but their goal is to pretend that Canada is the Tibet of the North Woods and that the whole country is just a vast system of remote mountain monasteries praying over the ugly things that Americans do.

    Sorry. It is looking VERY UGLY today.

    No, that would be Maine apparently. You've presented Maine as a place where parents raise dumb asses like you that rail about immigrants and foreign countries day and night on the internet.

  4. "not the perfect country we thought it was."

    No indeed.

    Plenty of shame being remembered in Canada today. Not among the fake canadians though.

    Mixed emotions for Muslim community on Canada Day after London, Ont., killings

    Canada is 'not the perfect country we thought it was,' said Hassan Mostafa, board of director at the London Islamic School in London, Ont. He said it's a Canada Day of mixed emotions as the Muslim community continues to heal after the killing of the Afzaal family last month.

    If he's truly from Maine...

    He probably has French Canadian blood in him considering 30% - 40% of Main's population are of French Canadian heritage. :D

    Boring thread now...firework celebrations tonight (if it doesn't rain) for Canada Day all through until July 4th U.S. Independence Day.

    Dogs and cats in the neighborhood here in Québec, Canada hate this time of the year the most..the fireworks scares the hell of them.

    Canada has a more common sense policy then the US and doesn't get hung up on extreme ideas. We don't see every new social program as a gateway to Communism, we don't see banning military style weapons as a gift to criminals, and we don't see banning racist posts as an attack on free speech. If there were a true slippery slope it would have happened already here. Instead, we got a better country out of the deal. Less violent crime and murders, less racial tension, better social programs, less poverty, longer life expectancies, better education standards, ... .

    It's like I said before, the US does business well. Canada is slowly incorporating some of that. You don't do some of the other things very well and it has clear negative impact on many American's quality of life. Even some doing extremely well are only one bad adverse event from losing that ( eg a health crisis, getting caught in a shooting ). Canada is in no way perfect ( eg out gun controls don't go far enough ), but we are doing it better in Canada. At some point more income becomes less important then the other stuff. If enough of the country is losing, bad things can happen.

    Let's hope so. The Hubris of America was thinking our democracy could not be manipulated by foreign powers let alone fall down into borderline fascism. That dad getting locked up for calling his offspring the "wrong" pronoun strikes me as a bridge too far already.

  8. China calls for investigation of Canadian atrocities against natives.


    Canada’s Trudeau questions China seeking probe of indigenous children’s remains


    "We call for a thorough and impartial investigation into all cases where crimes were committed against the indigenous people, especially children, so as to bring those responsible to justice, and offer full remedy to victims," Jiang Duan, a senior official at China's mission to the United Nations in Geneva, told the Human Rights Council.

    Parliament had been debating New Zealand's hate speech laws, with Ardern's government proposing harsher penalties for inciting discrimination and violence. The proposal comes in response to the deadly 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks. A Royal Commission inquiry afterward concluded the law did not adequately deal with hate speech and hate crime, and recommended stronger measures.


    But the proposed changes have been sharply criticized by opposition parties, who argue it would infringe on freedom of speech and that existing laws are sufficient.

    "Will calling a middle-aged white woman a 'Karen' now be a crime under Jacinda Ardern's law?" tweeted Judith Collins, opposition leader and head of the center-right National Party, on Tuesday.

    Collins reiterated her opposition to the law in parliament Wednesday, arguing it would "shut down debate on hate speech."

    "I disagree with that statement," Ardern replied. "I also, as it happens, disagree with (Collins') statement on Twitter, that somehow it will become illegal to call someone a 'Karen.' That is absolutely incorrect, and I apologize, that means these laws will not protect that member from such a claim."
