Speak for yourself. "Never had to really fight" ?

Wtf are you talking about. Firstly. the mere fact you had to virtue signal about the poor 'indigenous' means you're cucked beyond belief. The indigenous who are still alive today are descendants of cucked, conquered and those who signed treaties.

If you allow the government to take your kids and they grow up in a residential school being raped by pedophiles - that's on you (the parents), not every other random citizen who didn't oppose the government at the time.

Canadians have fought in EVERY major conflict since it was founded, to uphold Christian values. It fought a war of independence from England which it lost. It fought back the US in 1812, the Boer war, WW1, WW2, Korean, Afghanistan.

You might not know Kandahar is one of the most fucked up of all places in the middle east.

Maybe your ancestors were never sacrificed at Dieppe, or they made it onto a ship at Dunkirk so you have no concept or 'been safe' and 'so tame you can't fathom'

Yeah Canadian units in WW1 and WW2 were known for their fighting spirit.

Plus there was the independent pioneering culture from colonizing western Canada similar to the American frontier.

Something happened in the last 40~50 years that demoralized and neutered us.

It's happening everywhere in the developed world but it's particularly bad in Canada for some reason.

Thanks for being rational. Yes, there is a such thing as Canadiana that's been entirely STOMPED out of existence.

"All of us" replacing the sons who fought and died in the anthem, O'Canada. Which was itself a bastardization of our heritage when they decided to STOMP the Maple Leaf Forever. (which correctly associated the nation as united peoples from Scotland, England Ireland and France).

When people shit on 'Canadians' they're lumping Quebecers with Albertans with Hippies in BC with Maritime fishermen to politicians in Ottawa and rugged deep woods lumberjacks 3000kms away..and all kinds of natives/metis/trappers... anyways it infuriates me because it's impossible to try and give our heritage any justice in such a short blurb on the internet. My family was American before America and as British as they come at one point. Every family has an extraordinary story and people love to just generalize/lump everyone/everything together. It's volumes of books to get it done right and who has the time here and now...

Yeah I remember being hammered with propaganda as a kid in public school: "Canada has no culture worth mentioning. We should be thankful for mass immigration and multiculturalism for giving us 'real' culture."

I learned a lot about Canadian culture/heritage in my time w/ the Cadets..

Mostly because I was exposed to veterans.

Grandpa was a WW2 vet, lancaster bomber. Shot down, whole crew died except him and spent 2 years as a prisoner of war, hauled around Germany to various camps. Not that it matters.

I'm talking about conflict at home. Canadians have been tucked away and safe and inconsequential with a lame boring government for so long. Not cucked, indigenous did get fucked, I don't blame anyone alive for it. Don't be a loser.

Okay then if you're talking about 'at home' there are also a myriad of reasons why life might be tough - beyond being 'indigenous'. There's a difference between being Native in Iqaluit, or the highway of tears in BC, or at the Wabano centre downtown Ottawa. You know - there are white boys who got molested in school too. There are english kids in Quebec who get bullied. There are poor Canadian families all across the country if you bother to look. Take a drive anywhere outside of a major city. Go visit the Maritimes.

I don't want you to qualify your grandpa to me - I want you to stop generalizing an entire nation based on your narrow perspective. Maybe "you" have been tucked away and safe. The government isn't lame/boring, they're getting away with their plans in broad daylight and 'boring' doesn't quite capture the emotion people are feeling.

We're both losers as long as we're bickering at each other and not solving problems at home, and posting on an American MAGA site.
