Once upon a time I would say "Today, I'm embarrassed to be a Canadian"
Now I just say "Everyday, I get more embarrassed to be Canadian".

Mieh, he was a lame duck "founder". Liked the firewater and the bribes.
Macdonald is viewed by many Canadian historians, and by many ordinary Canadians, as an exceptionally clever, very charming politician who possessed little else -- no vision, no creativity, and no ideas but the tactical stratagems of a pragmatist and opportunist-as well as being corrupt and cynical, and a drunk

And with all those faults he was still the first Prime Minister of Canada. While not an exceptional man, he served his country for close to 50 years, and help unite, and define what Canada is.
Just because he was a drunk and possibly dishonest politician doesn`t mean he needs to be erased because some special snowflakes are uncomfortable about his role in history.

As someone that lives in Canada, I'm hating all of this. First we vote a princess cucklord into office an now we are taking statues down? Please vote for Trump. That will at least set a different tone. I love Canadians but sometimes they are just to faggot.

You really want Trump? I mean you kow what Canada offered right?!

I can't believe so many people / societies haven't figured out that the SJWs are nothing but professional victims, and the second you do something to appease them in one way they'll start attacking you for something else.

I think we have but what hasn't been figured out is why government+media typically continues responding to it as if we haven't, and how that should be responded to.

Smart people like William Buckley were telling us since the 60's what the left was trying to do: To destroy from within, and people acted like it was all some stupid conspiracy. Now you have to be brain dead or complicit not to see what has happened, and what is happening. Destroying all traces of our heritage is now the next item on the check list, now that they destroyed the middle class, the patriarchy, marriage, family, flipped all morals and values oh their heads, etc.
You will see this play out throughout the west. Any CIS white male, no matter how great his accomplishments, will be pulled down in disgrace. While degenerates and subversives are celebrated and anointed.

Since when did they destroy the patriarchy? I never knew men owned and ordered all aspects of all womens lives. I wonder what fucknut is pulling Hilliarys strings, cause it sure as fuck ain't Bill.

Most of that had to do with corporate manipulation. Families were "destroyed" when they wanted to dilute the labor pool and so women were told to be strong and get on out there, be independent.
That wasn't good enough and they still demanded labor rights so then came off-shoring and importing while everyone got laid off, stocks crashed, jobless recovery, trickle up economics, sold a perpetual war by saying go shopping.
Leftists or socialists had nothing to do with any of that. Nice try though. But you're right with the last few lines. Because now those same ones that caused all of the above have engaged the power starved radical useful idiots with a lot of lies and they, by nature of being a cult of sociopaths, are more than glad to stand on the backs of others both to keep them down and elevate themselves. But they'll never achieve the ranks of real power and influence. That doesn't mean they wont' be content acting as social police though. Calling them cry bullies is almost childish when in fact they are the social and thought police and should be honored as such.

Like I said: One has to be either brain dead or complicit to not see what the left and their useful idiots have done, and are doing. I thought you might be the former, then I saw your user name and realized it was the latter.

Just because you say they're out to get you, doesn't mean it isn't true.
Society will hit a tipping point though, there are not enough crazies to win forever.
Unfortunately that will result in a lot of violence.
[–] HAESisalie 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago (edited ago)
I suspect you are right. Either violence, or the great retreat/shrug, as people no longer care anymore. Nothing to connect them to society at large, and no reason to think that lumping themselves together with degenerates and leeches has any value for them.
That is ultimately what society is about, and where the strength of it lies: we are better off banded together than apart and alone. Is that even remotely true for many of anymore?
That is the path I am looking at, but I am older. Maybe 20 - 30 somethings will see something of value to fight for, but with the destruction of marriage and home ownership, no solid career path, nuclear family, there very existence vilified by the elites etc. I see more of a herbivore movement like in Japan.

MacDonald was an alcoholic, corrupt, a prick and a British puppet. He was no Washington.

Churchill was so drunk all the time he had special suits tailored for him so that he could be changed out of them rapidly whenever he shat himself. Still gets statues.
[–] super_mcdoku ago
Churchill did something though.

So what? Lots of people are scumbags, but he's part of Canada's heritage, and helped build the country, like it or not.
[–] Joe_McCarthy 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago (edited ago)
Why would one expect a Canadian leader, especially that far back, to be a Washington? Canadian identity is arguably based at its core on a rejection of the revolution. They're a bunch of American loyalists with frogs annoying them.

uhh... your Canadian history needs work.
