For the first time in my life, I have no desire to celebrate the birth of my country.
The Freedom Convoy showed the whole world how to stand up to tyranny - with BBQs and bouncy castles. But the tin pot dictator Justin Trudeau and his gang of WEF goons turned all that pride for our country into shame for our government.
They still haven't rescinded the part of the Emergencies Act that allows the government to sieze bank accounts and other assets of their enemies. He just banned buying, selling, trading, or transporting handguns. Only for civilians of course, not goons. So now only goons and criminals can use them.
Happy fucking Canada Day Trudeau, you miserable, cowardly creep!
I still see tons of cars and trucks driving around with Canadian flags, but today I couldn't tell if they were for Canada Day or for the Freedom Convoy!
The Hudson's Bay company turned into the crown corporation often mistakenly identified as the government of 'canada'. True-douche is a well-functioning puppet from an intergenerational eugenics obsessed 'family' aka worldwide cult network. unfortunately i also got wrapped up in the hopium of the gay trucker nonsense, but it was obviously controlled opposition from the start. i can admit that i was wrong about it to begin with but i can also admit that the feelings resonated throughout multiple freedom loving communities and that sentiment was real...
dont blame Truedooodooo. my advice is get land, grow a community that grows food. get a family and raise good kids. thats all. petitioning a slave master to be less slave-master-y seems like a waste of time and effort to me. have a good one!!! I love you.
oh snap i just realized the OP here is ConCen? love your work, been using your tracker since 2003 ish!! well done!!

Hiya, many thanks for posting~
I agree with you, but not for reasons of in-corporation; one must read between the ages as much as between the lines: countries are temporary things...it may be good, and it may not, but it's change and uncharted ending are definitely still on course.
Ever hear the Taoist story of a farmer and his horse?
One day the farmer's horse runs away. And his neighbor comes over and says, to commiserate, “I’m so sorry about your horse.” And the farmer says “Who Knows What’s Good or Bad?” The neighbor is confused because this is clearly terrible. The horse is the most valuable thing he owns.
But the horse comes back the next day and he brings with him 12 feral horses. The neighbor comes back over to celebrate, “Congratulations on your great fortune!” And the farmer replies again: “Who Knows What’s Good or Bad?”
And the next day the farmer’s son is taming one of the wild horses and he’s thrown and breaks his leg. The neighbor comes back over, “I’m so sorry about your son.” The farmer repeats: “Who Knows What’s Good or Bad?”
Sure enough, the next day the army comes through their village and is conscripting able-bodied young men to go and fight in war, but the son is spared because of his broken leg.
And this story can go on and on like that. Good. Bad. Who knows?
But what’s the point?
Well, the meaning of that story is that the Western paradigm in which we label experiences good or bad — is wrong. It’s a false dichotomy. At the very least, this distinction between good and bad is not so clear; it’s blurry.
That is a stretch...geez. Trudeau's a nob, but he's not a reptile. Believe it or not, he was in one of my classes at university (William Blake, of all things!). And, yes, he was a dope then, too.
YES. Well said.
PS - Please post more
Thanks for your encouraging words! Yes I have heard that parable and its very potent but perhaps not applicable to the point I was trying to make. Just to clarify I wasn't saying that the crown corporation was necessarily bad, just that it is not what it presents itself to be. The big difference is between de facto and de jure. The crown is operating as a de facto 'government' because there is no real government occupying the space. These are aspects of common law that is at the foundation of 'Canada' but have been glossed over by bureaucracy and party policy nonsense. I don't think I called true-douche a reptile, however, my characterization of him as a puppet from a cult is as accurate as I've been able to find. Not only does he not seem to have any agency of his own, he is and has been associated with all sorts of nefarious creatures and pedos throughout his terrible little existence. I don't see how to separate the publicly presented 'man' from his inherited legacy and all the connections that entails. The 'bad' that I think is important to focus on is not that countries exist but that lying scoundrels are steering the ships that could be steered better in some other manner that I don't claim to know, although I do have ideas.
Cheers euxalot!!

Fidel Castro with Margaret Trudeau.
Fidel and his son.
LoL. Justin's official dad.
Divorce the crown, join the American Union of States. It is a very real option that could lawfully be enacted from the birth of Canada.
Hello mighty Zero, hope all is well where you are.
Perhaps your tongue is pressed-in-cheek here, but if not, joining the US is unlikely for English Canada (Quebec might like it economically, but the US would care seven less than we do about their impregnable French "special status").
Why do I say this?
Joining the US would inevitably threaten the linchpin of its Can't-Touch-This healthcare system. Even though our healthcare is far from perfect, and even though a two-tier user-pay and social-benefit system would likely improve wait times, most Canadians stop up their ears at the start of open discussions about it. Said briefly? No Canadian politician would risk their career on any gamble involving Canadian healthcare.
You got your gun laws, we got our own hangups as regards healthcare. I've lived in 4 different countries now and can see the merits of having frank discussions about it, but alas. Tis Not To Be.
Think the argument is moot at this point. 2 years of total medical terrorism of a non-existing "fake-demic" has to blown thru so much nonsense people used to believe about their nationalistic and socialistic desires that they just want to get back to living, thriving and make sure none of this nonsense EVER happens again. But maybe Canadians need another year or two of harder spanking to wake them up? knock all that "niceness" out of them and get them good and angry to finally cry "uncle" and be done with tyrannical parasitic "elites"?
for day to day medical needs the National Health service in the UK is highly valued and woe betide any party that tries to kill that system.
even from a capitalist perspective it keeps your workforce healthy and thus happier and no-one here goes bankrupt due to medical bills.
I don't even pay for prescriptions here in Scotland . not a single penny. could it be a better service? sure with better funding and the last few govts forcing private companies access to different services within the NHS. Kinda privatising by the back door. But that experiment FAILED HUGE. Google PFI crisis and see what madness it unleashed. For example.. need a new schoo,or hospital? no problem get into a partnership with one of a few companies that do PFI and they build the place and maintain it over 30 years. At the end of the 30 years the property reverts to the PFI company at excruciating terms. So bad were the terms they bankrupted a new NHS trusts(a division of the NHS that coovers a fixed area).
some folks bemoan that National insurance payments are a tax and unfair... yeah but they are much cheaper for much better cover. it also covers you for unemployment and disability/sickness. some peopkle say it takes away choice... nope.. private medicine still exists here. there IS choice.
Big pharma also doesn't get to charge exhorbatant prices here either.
A national health service is a good thing.
Why do you think that? How is it moot in your home? It is far from moot in the several cities I have recently been in Asia, Europe and Canada. The contrasting policies and procedures I witnessed aboard Swiss Air vs Air Canada alone were enough to make me raise my eyebrows!
I understand why *you* think this, but I disagree that it is what the vast majority think or believe. People are happy to travel again this summer (I am one of them) but, geez, if another virus scare happens, most of the same restrictions will re-appear, and most people will abide by them. (Again, I am not referring to you -- just the "majority".)
I'd be willing to wager a bet on that, if anybody here cares to take me up on it? [disclaimer: prepare to lose BIG]
You don't seem to know much about Canadian healthcare, but you are definitely correct when it comes to Canadian niceness.
So how to stop being nice?
There are many nice people on this board, and plenty around the world. I think you are probably right that niceness makes it easy for governments to plow over us.
Are Americans not nice? I know some pretty excellent Americans who live abroad -- they are intelligent and decent. I would characterize them as "nice", but they definitely have less hangups to speak their mind (or so it seems to me on the outside).
So if it is not about niceness, how to speak one's mind more often?
