Canada is a failed state

[JackoVerde]

Exactly.

Most European countries are by blood citizenship only, and naturalization is 15 years on average.

Canada having EU citizenship is just not going to happen. A Punjabi will get 3 years EU citizenship in Canada, and then freely travel and work in Austria, that's not going to happen.

Spain had to create a special exception for their Latin American immigration scheme.
They fast track Spanish citizenship but then have to wait like an extra 10 years on top of that to get EU benefits.
That’s still without born on soil citizenship. Not sure the others would accept that.

Carney may claim that the will abolish the carbon tax, but he is looking for a workaround because he has complete tunnel vision when it comes to his plans for a net-zero economy.

There is a way we can have cheap energy without carbon emissions. Nuclear.

 

[karaokeman]

There is a way we can have cheap energy without carbon emissions. Nuclear.

Already 70% of Ontario's energy is nuclear.

Many Canadians are just not educated on this subject.

Many think our power comes from Niagara Falls because the bill is called Hydro.

And unless they start building convenient world-class trains everywhere the carbon tax is just punishment for living comfortably.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

And unless they start building convenient world-class trains everywhere the carbon tax is just punishment for living comfortably.

You can have good public transit or mass third world immigration, not both.

"The Honourable Helen M. Pierce" (passed bar in 1982). Was essentially demoted by Peter McKay's office in 2014 from senior judge to regular judge.

The decision is strange since it was summary judgement and the defendant was noted as living in Calgary. Don't think there was a justice related purpose to the case other than setting a precedent where you can't refer to anyone as a groomer now in Ontario without losing a few hundred thousand dollars.

Yeah and there might be more than meet the eyes about that judge.

While COVID was happening, I was able to job hop, get my salary up, and start getting tickets/certs.

Hopefully I can skirt by, "take advantage", of the labour hole created with tariffs. I was in tree care during the lumber issue, and none of my work slowed down (thankfully). None of the FOB's do skilled trades anyway, so hopefully the industry will open up more.

That, or we all end up Dayglo

I had an interesting encounter while I was out grabbing some groceries yesterday. Some old crone literally put her hands out to stop me as I was walking, and then proceeded to confront me about my choices—specifically the non-Canadian items I picked out. I'm a reasonable person, so I didn't just push her out of the way or escalate things, but I really should have. This pathetic woman told me that I shouldn't be buying American products, and should consider only purchasing things from Canada; I was so completely stunned that someone halted me, that I thought it was a joke at first. Is this "buy Canadian" fad actually still a thing? I honestly thought the hivemind would've moved onto the next hot topic, whatever that is now. The funniest thing about this situation—it was all about some instant noodles; this woman literally lambasted me over some stupid noodles. I doubt the irony of me purchasing instant noodles because they're so cheap, and not having everything I purchase be Canadian-made because it's too expensive, ever crossed her mind. I do not make a lot of money, and every day I drive through one of the rich neighbourhoods to reach my job; I rarely see flags in the low-income area, but I sure see a lot of them on the houses of the "upper class".

Insane. This country is truly fucking living in a bubble.

Shit like this is why I have lost faith. These people only want to be told by the government/media that they're different than the us and that we're such a better country etc etc. A nation of crying women

 

[InteracialBowelSyndrome]

We

Facebook under your real name not very VPN or anon posty. There are people who legitimately think no one will ever do anything he's lucky not to be on criminal charges of some kind.

That group got grants, they got pro-bono lawyers probably and even their own "expert witnessses" for court. Expert in what

Were it me, that pedo group would never see a single payment. If the system is broken, your only move is not to play.

Move money around, move addresses, or in Minecraft them.

If the system ruined your life, (and a judgement of almost 400k is life ruining) then you way as well do damage on the way out.

I'm curious to know what you did in this situation. If you stood there stunned and let her yap at you you're a far better man than I. I would've just walked right around her ignoring her. She can yap for eternity for all I care. This is ofc assuming you had that option. Its also standard procedure to ignore the public retard in America, so maybe canucks have different social norms when it comes to that.

This is how you deal with these types. It's a herculean effort to not tell them to "shut the fuck up" I know, but you have to ignore them online, and offline if possible. Don't entertain their delusions or lack of critical thinking. Don't even act like they exist because by entertaining them in any way you are implying their beliefs are even worth discussing in the first place.

Beer would be in the Costco liquor store which is usually on the side with its own entrance.

Unless you're in a shit province with a LCBO or something.

I have been and am a full on accelerationist at this point.

Leave the country, insulate yourself, accelerate liberal control and vote liberal, maybe come back when people, who mind you- will not suddenly gain sense, but maybe self-interest, actually want change.

The sad truth is that it's not an exp bar you can just fill and everything will be fixed

There are still liberals in South Africa claiming white privilege is real and farm murders don't happen or it's raceblind farm murders. They also have dirty water and electricity doesn't stay on all the time and despite that everyone votes the same and theres no revolution. South Africa used to have a nuclear program.

This vote for the enemy shit does not, and will never work.

At first, I was stunned and thought it was some misunderstanding or joke; the old woman wasn't aggressive, just condescending—like they always are. She had trapped me between a few others, so instead of making an already awkward scene worse, I just let her speak. Though, I agree It's best not to engage whatsoever, and I didn't pull out some epic Reddit speech to "own" this old hag, in fact, I didn't say anything. I didn't even take off my sunglasses.

I hate the rest of the English speaking world. The UK, Canada and Australia are all dystopian hellscapes that I would would rather die than ever have to permanently live in.

Our next Prime Minister Mark Carney is Bbbbbbased.

Of course the Liberals keep having based moments like when they gave the standing ovation to the SS-Galician Veteran.

I'm still convinced I would've been called racist/something else-ist for wanting to say "buy Canadian" maybe a year ago.

Even just making a post, looking for a local/Canadian skateboard brand. I had some people uneasily ask if I was a nationalist.

HONK HONK

Those same people were saying they would never fly the Canadian flag again (the fake and gay maple leaf flag, not the based Red Ensign) because of the Convoy Protest.
