That makes me reflect on how one of the most famous Canadians in current pop culture, Wolverine, plays against the stereotype Canadians try to present as virtuous.It's the story, the idea, the triumph of the nation. America has it done right. The founding fathers, 1776, the wild west. An idea and an ideal. America is the greatest brand in the world. With a storied past. People want to be American. You suffer through being a Canadian.
Canada has never been able to do the same. Our first PM promised lucrative rail contracts to get elected vs Washington who fought the British and led the Continental army to victory. What great PM has Canada ever produced that captured the imagination? We don't have a Lincoln, a Jefferson or a Teddy Roosevelt. America's Generals are storied, even their lawyers become famous. Just look at Daniel Webster or Johnny Cochrane.
We spend a massive amount of effort to not inspire future generations, to not sell them on Canada and being Canadian. Instead we act like Great Value Americans. Our tv sucks, except for The Red Green show, that was kino. We make poor, lesser imitations of American tv, and film. Our cultural output has been obsessed with approval from American and European literati that has caused us to make nothing good or long lasting in the public consciousness. Our most famous novel is The Handmaid's Tale, which Atwood wrote as a paycheck book.
Mine did. I guess I got the long version of the census.On the new Census it didn't ask about ethnicity. Makes sense as the government doesn't want the stats to show that 30 percent of Canadian now Pajeets.

Wolverine is an Albertan.That makes me reflect on how one of the most famous Canadians in current pop culture, Wolverine, plays against the stereotype Canadians try to present as virtuous.
Yup, and Deadpool is from Regina. I personally find it hilarious that neither of the two biggest Canadian characters in comics are from Ontario.Wolverine is an Albertan.
And that story has been given solely to nebulous “tribes” that have convinced a good number of people that only tribes have ever lived peacefully with their neighbors (ignoring the rampant criminality and violence in their own communities) or cared about the land they inhabit. Unless you can claim a piece of that fictional pie, you’re just a colonialist invader.The story is something like: "we all came here to start new lives on virgin soil, to put behind us the cramped wars of Europe, to be charitable to our neighbors and live in peace. To beautify the countryside and enjoy its beauty. To deal honestly and enjoy the fruits of honesty.
They're superHEROs, not supervillainsYup, and Deadpool is from Regina. I personally find it hilarious that neither of the two biggest Canadian characters in comics are from Ontario.
Which is also why the backstory is conveniently ignored by the more 'cultured' classes for mainstream discussion. Canada for these midwits is only important insofar as it can support economic zone one-world-government nonsense, and if artistic narrative doesn't meet the goals it'll be passed over in favour of the singular half-breed source which colours it as such.That makes me reflect on how one of the most famous Canadians in current pop culture, Wolverine, plays against the stereotype Canadians try to present as virtuous.
The characters have to be able to speak English and not make the viewer want to punch the screen from being such smug dickheads.Yup, and Deadpool is from Regina. I personally find it hilarious that neither of the two biggest Canadian characters in comics are from Ontario.
I like to compare Canada to California. Despite most people in California living in SD, LA, or SF, northern California and the central valley are actually quite lovely places with a completely distinct culture but are ruled with an iron fist by the retards on the coast. Almost everything wrong with Canada can be found in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec but these places will do everything in their power to wreck the rest of the nation.The characters have to be able to speak English and not make the viewer want to punch the screen from being such smug dickheads.
I think the only Ontarian in the Marvel universe was Vindicator, and he was a massive pussy.Yup, and Deadpool is from Regina. I personally find it hilarious that neither of the two biggest Canadian characters in comics are from Ontario.
