What if they were bats pretending to be ducks?

Canadians complain about Americans erasing their history of slavery and the Founding Fathers and then we turn around do the exact same thing with Confederation. It’s frankly bullshit.

The people behind Canadian Confederation were primarily wealthy British and Scottish men who wanted to exploit the land that they stole for profit. This is historical fact despite what current Canadians settlers want to believe.

How much revenue does the Canadian military bring in?

Canada’s residential school abuse survivors face fresh battle to stop testimony being destroyed First Nation communities warn that government must act as accounts face destruction, risking central part of Canada’s reckoning with its colonial legacy

Residential school survivors have suffered enough. We must not allow their testimony to be destroyed.

When you get the paranoia weed:

I feel like that’s shifting pretty dramatically. We also don’t have the Apocalyptic Evangelical demographic to push it. I feel like a lot of Canadians are for better or for worse indifferent.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026, dir. Nia DaCosta)

I love how much Drake hates Toronto that he’ll do bullshit stunts like this and also not promote anyone inside Toronto’s rap scene his entire career. Lol.

So, that’s what that was.

I think it’s more that Canadians don’t any to admit that they’re no better than the U.S., but yeah, I think there’s a handful of people invested in Israel as a settler colonial state.

I admit I don’t think I want to have children of my own, but I was a camp counselor for 3 years and despite being exhausted every day, it was one of the better jobs I had. Lol.

I feel it really speaks for itself that saying this ⬇️ is somehow a controversial or objectionable statement for a lot of Canadian settlers, as opposed to just ordinary factual information.

No it didn’t. Britain getting tired of directly managing another overseas settler colony, political pressures from wealthy Canadian land and industry owners and the tension of Indigenous resistance inside the country were the major factors behind Confederation.

Cognitive dissonance based deflection is a powerful drug. Lol.

Mamdani had a record voter turnout for NYC and won on a landslide because he ran on a platform that made people WANT to vote. It’s not rocket science. The lesser of two evils logic doesn’t work in practice without giving people something else on top of it.

No, but if that’s your kink, I’m not one to judge.

Canadian Conservatives will complain about taxes funding healthcare and childcare but will apparently dig in for *checks notes*: an elected official and party leader having a private jet funded by those same taxes.

the pandemic was some of the worst times of my life and I cannot relate to anyone who raised a sourdough starter or caught up on Netflix bc I was working 80+ hours now that there was no pesky “going home” and everything was an existential threat and I didn’t see a fellow human for years basically.

How did fighting US Expansion turn out?

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

If a university bans Plato from the Philosophy classroom they should loose their accreditation.

I won’t but I will lecture them about all the Nazis that seem to pop up in their military.

Regardless of whether or not it’s “your Canada”, Canada is still factually speaking a settler colonial country that has caused a tonne of harm internationally, even in the past 25 years.

You well actually-ed me on calling Canada the accurate academic socio-historical term for the type of state it is.

Ok. But Canada also has exploitative mining operations across West and Central Africa and basically run the country of Haiti after we participated in a coup and have spent two decades dismantling its government.

Carney’s militarist policy begs to differ.

We definitely have colonial ambitions. We’re a settler COLONIAL country by definition.

Yeah. That won’t happen given it almost happened with Denmark and Trump backed down. We also wouldn’t last a week against the American military anyway.
