Gee. I wonder why that is. Maybe I've explained at length and you're kinda fucking stunned to be asking that at this point.

If you think that's a rebuttal to my take, better start rereading.

This one is. We don't even have a culture, they made sure of that.

Man, all you have to do is watch the six oclock news over a few years to come to that opinion of him.

No. It isn't. I don;t know why it is so hard to distinguish that the country is the government, The people are just people.

You think....Federal policy favours Alberta? What are you smoking?

BC years ago

Canadians are disgusted by their country, go talk to some. I'm gonna give the rest of that the respect it deserves by ignoring it.

I remember him clearly, Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Brian Mulroney. Even the most unpopular of the three never earned himself that visceral, down to the bone hatred in a ridiculous number of people. The odd "Stop Harper" sticker on traffic signs vs a whole country awash in "Fuck Trudeau" flags. They're even common in the lower mainland of BC. More to the point, like Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, and Harper too, they needed minimal security for a short period of time, if at all, after leaving office.

Sometimes I think Trudeau has such a hard on for gun control because he realized he's the first PM who is gonna need american style security till he's an old, old man. Every other PM just kinda slid back into normal life but he's not gonna have that privilege. Can't think of anyone pissed the public off to this degree in Canadian politics since his dear old dad.

Miss the point some more. Patriotism/Nationalism is directly related to whether or not there's any regard for the government, federal in particular. That's gone. You are a direct result of the "post national state" someone wanted to build. You wanna know what happens when nationalism really tanks? YOu get guys like me that could seriously care less if the states took over tommorow, one eastern bullshit federal government is the same as another

I waited 2.5 years for a surgery once, showed up, it was cancelled, they referred me to another guy, showed up, he gave me a steroid injection, said i should have been getting those every three months for the last 2.5 years and refused to schedule another appointment in 3 months.

Well no shit. Instead theyve used every opportunity to squelch that. Sellers market for employees? High wages? Better import 2 million people fast.

This is a very good example of what I'm talking about. Why'd Hanomansing even have him on? Might as well have done the whole demonstration himself instead of talking over him. Every time they have a guest on wants to replace the RCMP in any province with a provincial force, the hosts nearly have a melt down similar.

The CBC is utter garbage these days. Hearing their "journalists" blather is like listening to people failed out of the CIA's propaganda training, can't even hide their bullshit. I especially love it when they're interviewing intelligent, thoughtful people and the interviewer starts arguing with them like a butt hurt 9 year old.

Listening to this bitch talk tests my sanity

Mulroney was simply unpopular, especially about the GST. People fucking HATE Trudeau, a deep visceral feeling he's engendered across the country, and it's not recent. (It's hard to take anyone seriously that calls Harper a threat to decency)

yeah i;m 41 and remember when i could buy ammunition without a question asked, when i was 10, and canadian. ive been fucking mad at the federal government for 30 fucking years over their demanding i give an open search warrant to the cops to legally possess what was over the counter to me as a child. "what radicalized me" fucking federal Liberals

Lol, ok, they totally didn't realize their country used to be good and will vote for anything thatll fix it, or at least, shake the fucking jar.

No. Have you not been paying attention?
