There were lots of great comments to this post yesterday, but this one from ‘The Phantom’ really stood out:
“…showed as much fire over the gradual loss of your rights, the destruction of your economy, worsening of your quality of life, and the state sanctioned murder of your own people…”
If you mention any of those four things to most Canadians living in urban areas, they will look at you like you’re insane.
Fire? They don’t even NOTICE. They’ve never f-ing noticed, and I’ve been seeing this sh1t since I was maybe 25? 26? And everybody denies it all day long, every f-ing day.
You can’t get ahead in Canada. Not since 1979. I got ahead by moving to AMERICA, making a bunch of money, and then moving back -with money- to get me far enough up the ladder they couldn’t knock me off again.
Now of course not only you can’t get ahead, you can’t stay level. Slipping back, one handhold at a time. But they’re still denying it, every day. Elbows up, you know.
That’s why a hockey game matters to them but MAiD doesn’t make it to their radar. Or Covid, or payijng >50% taxes, or guys getting fined $750K for mentioning that there’s only XX and XY. Keeping up appearances, not stepping out of line, gotta fit in you know.
That’s why I live in the sticks and don’t talk to anybody. It’s better this way, my liver isn’t being destroyed one cell at a time by trying to fit in with idiots.
