On a recent trip to Nanaimo, I ran across this mural on a building in the downtown area.
Odd how you never see this mentioned in the mainstream media.
A friend in North Vancouver has a hoodie with a Canadian flag and the words “The Resistance” on it. He wears it a lot and surprisingly gets a lot of positive comments from passers by. Maybe there’s hope for this country yet.
That’s some low-grade hopium.
That mural needs five more words:
“If You Can Keep It”.
With an Uzi and a bazooka…and a tank, maybe a few planes, bombers, some ICBMs…
The 2A is more insightful than anybody can imagine.
…of course, the cucks that make up the west will only trust gov’t with some weapons, because they are more trustworthy than anyone else, right?
I’ve got a great idea: Let’s give a state that will MAiD it’s own people the ability to not only disarm its own people, but the ability to nuke them, to boot, and as an extra guarantee, make sure that the people can’t do squat about it because they’re outgunned.
If MAiD doesn’t work, well then, we’ll just chop off their genitalia and/or breasts.
You people are dumber than a bag of rocks.
Maybe there’s hope for this country yet.
Are there “a lot” of people in Canada that still have the brains they were born with, coupled with a sense of justice and morality? Of course. Such people are everywhere in the world. Are such people a significant demographic in the Trudopia gulag? They were a minority political force in Canada in 1968, and today they are a shadow of what they were.
This place wasn’t set up to be a country of equals, and it never will be. Whatever “hope” there might be is hope for an entirely new regional arrangement.
There’s a lot of hope out there. People are reluctant to let it show because they don’t need Karen screaming at them and trying to ruin their day.
“There’s a lot of hope out there.”
Hope for what, exactly?
Hope that things will be better, because they can be. But it requires that we become the cause of things getting better. More than complaining, we must each live our lives as better examples.
If you have given up there is still one thing you can do to help: shut up.
“Hope that things will be better”
What, exactly do you mean by that? Safer for children? More food? Better roads? More helmet laws?
Sounds to me more like you are just mouthing some BS platitude, as opposed to actually saying something of substance.
Perhaps leaving people alone and not screeching about cigarette vending machines would help?
It’s hilarious that Juthtin has turned the Maple Leaf flag, which has been the flag of the Liberal Party (same colors), into a hate symbol for CBC stalwarts. Last summer I was driving with a friend who is a diehard NDPer and listens only to CBC radio. We stopped behind a car with the maple leaf flag attached to the rear window and my friend muttered, “Asshole. Freedom.” with intense scorn. It was a few days past Canada Day and the other driver was doing nothing other than flying the flag. Hilarious. Well done, Juthtin.
my friend muttered, “Asshole. Freedom.”
Bizarre that you would happily share your precious free time with such “friends”.
I told a similar friend that we shouldn’t discuss politics as we differ in ideological views and that I value our friendship more than our political opinions, thankfully he agreed and he’s never parroted any mainstream media propaganda around me since.
That’s what you take from this? We disagree. However, he’s a very honest, kind and extremely generous guy and we’ve been friends forever. I had to return to Canada before overstaying my visa and for two months, awaiting my green card, I was virtually homeless. At least, in Canada. He let me stay at his house. Anyway, I took the red pill, he didn’t. I still love the guy. I suppose you only hang out with those you agree with. I find that more bizarre but whatever.
Hanging out with only people you agree with, will eventually lead to trouble………… It’s very easy to talk each other into doing stupid things.
As you could no doubt imagine, I often disagree with my friends on both sides of the left/right spectrum.
That being said, those on the left are easily driven into unreasoning rage by disagreement, they take an argument against their position as a personal attack. I have never seen that sort of thing with my right-leaning friends. I still take pleasure in driving my lefty friends to froth at the mouth when I argue against their BS, and it is on them to cancel me, which has happened many times. As a result, I have few, but not zero lefty friends left, and most of them are women.
It becomes tiresome listening to people who lack the ability to think critically.
To be clear, my friend is not against freedom. He just does not agree that the truckers represented freedom. My point in this is that Juthtin has turned many people against flying the maple leaf flag.
Justin’s alter ego, “Justina”, is a freedom-loving trans who rages against the machine. She/her painted this mural en route to he/his tax-payer funded surfing trip to Tofino.
Ask these “freedom fighters” if they think we should have constitutional carry here.
Ask them if we should have licensing for power boats, seat-belt and helmet laws.
Ask them if they think every cash register should have a gov’t chip in it.
Ask them how they feel about cigarette vending machines, and smoking in bars and buses.
Ask them about selling smokes to kids.
When I was 10 years old, I could go to the store and buy my mom a pack of smokes, no note, nuthin’, but now, people’s heads explode over the very idea.
More cope than hope, I’d say, but people are far too brainwashed to know the difference.

I remember listening to my forebears reminiscing how they used to take their firearms to the town cenotaph/flag/government building on Victoria Day, (THE national holiday back then), and discharge them into the air in lieu of fireworks.
Guess what? People clapped, and no one ran for the hills with their hair on fire.
Indeed.
Sadly, many if not most Canadain’s hair is on fire, all the time, looking for the next thing to start screeching about, and our courageous leaders are always right there to listen to them and ban or over-regulate something.
Until that changes, I don’t see any chance of improvement of our lot.

There will be no improvement. Only further deterioration. How’s that for your hopium.
On another thread a typical Canadian sneers contemptuously at the foundational right of freedom, and a supposed freedom lover on here tells us how much he loves the freedom hater. “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
If the concept of freedom vs. totalitarianism is now negotiable for “conservatives”, then it’s over, full stop.
Canada’s dead and the corpse is beginning to stink.
Back in the 1960s if someone needed a gun for a school play, they brought a gun to school. Back in the day crazy people weren’t as crazy – they had it successfully beaten out of them or they were locked up.
So, I was watching some Scuzz Twittly videos, and I thought:
During the mask craze, I shoulda worn a lady’s g-string for a mask, and when a Karen inevitably complained, try on progressively larger and/or less frilly or lacy panties, asking “Is this one OK? No? How about this one?…”
When the truckers started out from the west they were cheered on. Overpasses were decorated. Moms and their babies came out and cheered the truckers on. Momentum built as they made their way to Ottawa. The crowds grew. The convoy captured the imagination of the nation.
Then something happened. The media started a narrative. They said the truckers weren’t just people that were pissed with the covid restrictions and loss of freedoms, they want to overthrow the government. The soccer moms instantly changed from supporters to being afraid. The truckers went from being guys who whole communities turned out to feed them dinner to enemies of Canada. The truckers message was obliterated by the media as they torqued stories of insurrection, treason and sedition. In the end none of this was true and the truckers left town as peacefully as they arrived. Ottawa won.
Lost in all the mayhem was the reason the rally occurred. Nobody asked the organizers, or made an attempt to find out what it was that set the rally in motion. To this day the soccer moms who initially cheered the truckers don’t know what the truckers grievance was. They think they were in Ottawa to toss out the Bong.
Much of the country feels the same. They wonder what the truckers were after , why are they so angry?
It’s now suggested the country is broken and can’t be fixed. The truckers knew this innately. These guys are patriots they wanted to fix the country not destroy it. The MSM never figured it out
Cable/sat subscribers delenda est, along with the rest of the Karens.
“When the truckers started out from the west they were cheered on. Overpasses were decorated. Moms and their babies came out and cheered the truckers on.”
Yeah, I was on one of those overpasses…in the freezing cold, too (people forget that it was winter at the time).
Or the MSM did figure it out, and they don’t want the country fixed. The country broken is a bigger news story, and can be remade they way they feel (not think, feel) it should be.
As I said previously, any attempt to change what is happening in this country as well as down south would have to start with taking out the media. They carry the message and when they deem it necessary, they alter it to suit their and their financiers needs. And we devour that same message to our total detriment and our imminent destruction
Apparently I can’t comment.
Apparently, you just did.
No comment ;o)
I have been wondering for a while now if the person flying the flag is a liberal Canadian Lackey or a protesting libertarian opposed to Justin Castreau
I think someone should consider a new, less hostile screen name. You might have some important points but I’ll never read them. My loss but, apparently, I suck.
If you are that thin-skinned, well, what can I say?…other than…get a tampon for that thing, before you mess the whole place up.
Liberals seem to be pro-active, stopping at nothing to forge their commie BS utopia.
Conservatives seem to be re-active, whining and complaining about this or that liberal agenda, wishing to go back to the way it was, thinking they could fix a sickened society if only they had power.
Gee, I wonder who will win in the short term? Short term being a few generations, maybe a century.
The West took a death-blow in 1918.
Christianity has proven itself, so far, to be utterly unable to deal with industrialization.
Thus socialism, fed steroids to become fascism, fed more steroids to become communism are what has rushed in to fill the power vacuum left by the pre-1918 Christian Empires, and the “conservatives” are still screaming “its still good, its still good!”, without even a care for each individual who made up Christianity.
Man has failed Jesus, now we get to pay by feeding the next generation into Moloch’s jaws.
Well done, conservatives! With friends like you, who needs enemies?
Very true. I was and am disgusted by the way that the media has distorted the message and motive of the Freedom Convoy. At the time 51% of Canadians supported their goal of getting rid of mandates and other draconian Covid restrictions. For many they were a lifeline after 2 years of government oppression. James Topp was similarly dumped on by the media. I think many people still do support their efforts. Good. I think they will be needed again.
@YouSuck “……..feeding the next generation into Moloch’s jaws.”
History repeats, it’s the cycle of civilization/ empire.
What sucks is that it’s happening on our watch and not 50 or 100 years from now – unfortunately “The die is cast”!
Yup.
But I’m an optimist. By that I mean that I’m not quite at the point where I envy the dead.
Came back from Coutts last year. Had a flag on a pole in the stake pocket of the pick up. Pulled in to get gas. A lady walks up to my wife and I wearing scrubs. She’s a nurse. Started weeping and thanking us for what we were doing. Conversation was much more than that, however, the point is, not everyone is lost in this land.
I pass this mural all the time. It’s in the heart of downtown – amidst all of the ‘unhoused’, the debris, and the crime we ‘tolerate’ and indeed support, with ever growing numbers of do-gooder agencies.
Nanaimo is solidly NDP (communist lite) and was polled to be the most ‘Godless’ city in Canada.
Yet the mural has never been defaced or damaged. Go figure.
Maybe when someone across the street yells, “Hey asshole!” you turn to see if they’re talking to you. I don’t.
I’m not hopeful.
Yeah, the freedom sign is just next to the LGBTQ ad nauseum rainbow painted street crossing. Lots of lazy hippies and homeless in that part of town. I wouldn’t get too excited about what is just more graffiti that no one pays attention to.
Canada is done. Get a boat and disappear.
My Lifeboat includes Alberta.
