Percentage saying they’re ‘very proud’ to be Canadian has dropped from 78% to 34% since 1985 December 13, 2024 – The years since the onset of COVID-19 have been a well-documented period of division and discord in this country, with Canadians expressing concerns about the lack of a “middle” option politically, an unwillingness from governments...
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.
Anyone who’s not at least a bit disgusted by their own country needs to learn more about their country’s history.
Fuck the Catholic Church and old Canadian governments creating boarding school for indigenous people! It’s impossible to be blindly proud of Canada, but it’s still an awesome country.
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.
Because that’s simply not true. A country is not its government. Look at literally any revolution in the entirety of human history and that’s an obvious fact. The peoples, the cultures, the social norms that give a country the distinct feel that defines what it is survives beyond any given government.
The Canadian government works for, or at least is supposed to work for, Canada. It is not Canada in of itself. I’m so sorry that you feel so disenfranchised that you seem to believe otherwise, but we collectively decide what out country is. No elected official gets to decide it for us.
This one is. We don’t even have a culture, they made sure of that.
You’ve got a lot of vague disdain for the state of Canada, but offer next to nothing when it comes to specific issues. Who is “they,” and what culture is it that you perceive “they” have taken from us?
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.
You certainly have not explained anything beyond showing a vague hatred for the government, and a deeply held belief that they’re somehow responsible for killing any sense of a national body. Perhaps you’ve explained yourself in detail in another conversation, but I was certainly not aware of it.
Maybe I can ask more directly: What do you think makes Canada uniquely Canada? Ignoring the whos, whys and hows, what do you believe we have lost, culturally speaking?

Oh come on get over that. We should not feel bad for what others have done. I hate this B’s of we must be shamed for what the past has done.
