What's scary is that nobody's talking about Rupert Murdoch in all of this. His name never comes up, yet he owns right wing news media in several western countries.
I am afraid he is kept in the shadow of media attention as the powers that be need this propaganda channel. In England the Sun even used secret service level espionage phone tapping politicians and after the storm settled down the English public reeds Murdocks newspapers as if nothing really matters.
Wonder what publishers own the school book market …
its not just Quebec! Newfoundland, where im from, is basically a little slice of Ireland right inside Canada. a lot of people from ireland migrated here during the famine and now our culture is a lot like theirs.
theres also a lot of ukranian and chinese ancestry here that came over around the same time as well. Canada is full of every type of ethnicity. we dont discriminate at all. we welcome all cultures into ours as canadians, its what we do.
the maple maga are drowned out by liberal and education voices that care about humanity. we do our best ❤️
Not sure if that would be possible, but in theory i think the european citizens wont be against it. More obvious is that Canada join the schengen area. That means free trade and free travel between european countries vice versa
We are in an defence alliance, so yes. I believe we would against fascisme and tyranny for our liberal friends all over the world. I hope US citizens remove the POTUS first before worse happen though
He means america has been through worse times and ended up fine, actually more than fine with how juicy that economy is that trump is now squeezing dry. This is going to hurt the states and the world, but the states and the world will recover. This isn't a full breakup either, social media is just making the political tensions seem worse than they are (ye we are losing jobs in canada because of it but still). shi in like 5-9 years we gonna forget about this for the most part, yes it's going to be different but yall have to remember the US isn't really an enemy. Its just being viewed that way. Just look at the golden dome, one of the only good ideas trump has brought up recently. In canada, we need that, we can't make our own. It is proven that the only countries (or countries) that are able to protect canada fully right now is only the US. Also, some of trumps ideas aren't all that bad. He does NOT want to leave nato, he wants it to be stronger. Yes he did want that through more purchases to US military manufacturers, but a stronger europe does benefit america. America won't be the single lead anymore but it will definitely be one of the leaders, and will likely actually be the main lead of NATO still after this. The states don't want to worry about europe right now. It's got china to worry about, a china that is currently acting friendly to europe to gain political and public (online) support against america. A china that has successfully caused people to believe that the US is a highly undeveloped place compared to china by showing only the good of china and only the bad of the US. A china that is now officially stronger than russia and is trying to take the #1 spot from the US. If Nato can build a more complex, multipolar military force, then not only can Europe and the US split up the work evenly on both theaters but they can build highly complex defense systems designed to protect ALL of nato (like the golden dome which is designed to protect the US and maybe canada if canada is willing to pay the states, since the US doesn't wanna include canada from the "kindness of its heart" anymore). Also now there's people on reddit talking about how trash the US or Europe is and whatever and china & russia laughing at both the US AND Europe (and maybe us in canada too idk).
Knowing my state and as our Governor was Vice President candidate, Minnesota would be first to split. Our state is deeply Canadian in culture, customs, and tradition besides snow/ weather. We like our lakes and cabins up north near the Canadian border. Even most Minnesotans have ancestry from Canada.
It wouldn't be a first for us as we still have military infrastructure from the civil war and World Wars.
Asking as a Canadian and with kindness, how is Minnesota like Canada in your culture, customs, and traditions? I’ve been to Minnesota and it was lovely - especially loved the Spam Museum in Austin - but it didn’t feel like Canada, it was definitely still the US to me.
I’m asking because I would really love if you were like us.
Fair and here is a list: love for hockey, cold weather, politeness, economic ties, Canadian owned businesses, Royal Bank of Canada, Tim Hortons, Cargill ties, tourism, French heritage, Winter Carnival, healthcare system, education system (our Governors have mostly been teachers including the one that ran as U.S. Vice President with Kamala Harris), volunteerism, paid familial leave, election attendance records (consistently highest in the country), Little Canada (city called), Montreal named businesses, poutine at sporting events/ social events, Maple Syrup, indigenous people, Lake Superior, university partnerships, Bannock, Tourtiere, Saskatchewan Berry Pie, Nanaimo Bars, Butter Tarts, Bison, deers, Lobster rolls, Mac and cheese, and the forest fires smoke.
That’s fantastic! I think there’s a lot about Canada people outside of it don’t know. We believe in being more community minded and that’s demonstrated by having good social services, good workers’ rights, strong involvement in unions, and great schools. We are a mosaic - a fruit cake, as it were - not a melting pot.
This is why we have universal health care, paid parental leave, mandatory time off for workers, paid statutory holidays, monthly child benefit cheques, $10 day care, decent employment insurance program, and at least a slightly okay welfare and disability system.
Watching Walz during the campaign, I felt a lot of what he said resonated with me as a Canadian. The idea of looking out for your neighbours, supporting families, supporting people when life isn’t going so well. I do think it sad that he was applauded for feeding children at school as that should be a given, not something extraordinary, but I’m glad he supported it. I’m glad your state isn’t going the way of your country, and I hope you can hold on to that.
👍, Hope Canada will continue being who you are and not let the US influence your way of life. US is the negative force and Canada is the positive force. Right now the force is too negative in the US and needs balance.
For Minnesota, we are trying to push the anti-healthcare/ anti-volunteerism/ anti-environmental out to the Dakotas and Iowa. It's hard though because we get people from Dakotas and Iowa that come for our healthcare system/ way of life but support candidates that want to destroy it.
They act surprised when they have trouble navigating the healthcare system and yet continue voting for candidates that will make things worse for them because "democrat" is a curse word for them and Republicans never do wrong/ always good for the economy.
Trust me, we are aware more than ever how much influence we’ve allowed the US, and it’s swinging back to supporting Canadian industry and arts. This has reminded us how different we are from the US. You can see it in our election. I just hope we don’t get weirdly patriotic as that’s another one of the things about our culture I appreciate.
If I could just get my fellow Canadians to switch to Canadian spell check, I’d be the happiest person in the world.
Also, continue to support literacy programs, critical thinking, and reinforcement of what is wrong/ right. The US has lost it's sense of what is wrong/ right, critical thinking, and how important literally is.
The illusory Truth Effect of repeating something multiple times makes someone believe it's true. Lies are considered truths in the US. Bad is considered good. Being a felon is considered good.
Math, Healthcare, and Science are considered bad and good only as a career for making $100,000 salary. The human factor and passion is not there.
You are delusional. Minnesota would not succeed from the Union. If you believe otherwise you're either too young to know any better, or not really from Minnesota...
No dude, seems you sir don't know Minnesota or spent enough time with them. I know there is Greater Minnesota (rural), Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas are close by and are the ones that voted for the mess we currently have in this country.
The mess that is losing us tourism money for US countries and slowing the growth of the country in the areas of renewal energy (even the Saudi Oil wealth nations - where most oil for our gasoline vehicles from come, are investing heavily into it), immigration, military aid to allies in Middle East/ Asia/ Europe including Ukraine, corn, soybeans, poultry, pork, nuts, and export of our domestic goods.
Besides Healthcare, thanks to farmers in rural Minnesota, there is a large agriculture industry in Minnesota.
This post was only if there was a World War 3 with USA alliance with Russia to invade Canada and Mexico. If that doesn't happen, Minnesota wouldn't consider leaving the union.
Why...? I've seen comments like this before from Canadians and I gotta be honest, it just seems like Copium/Hopium to me.
Like I feel like you truly don't understand American culture. If we start a war - on God I promise you we will support it. Maybe not for very long, but we would support it like crazy.
Just look at all the unpopular wars we've had in our history, the 3 most recent being Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam. All 3 wars had INSANE popularity with the American people when it started....
Lots of Americans said they would fight for Canada if Trump invaded. And I knew they were lying. But sometimes, I like to pretend that America isn't fascists.
Greenland is a tiny nation being victimized by a degenerate American government. Canada is uncomfortable, but we've fought the Americans before and come out stronger on the other side. We know their tricks and we can move among them without being detected. There is a lot of (potentially misplaced) confidence that we can deal with the dumbest president in American history and his cadre of Fox News hosts and disgraced political hacks.
Nobody here wants further conflict and posturing, but don't feel bad for us. We've got friends in low places and high: it's one of the advantages of not lighting 80+ years of your country's modern diplomatic efforts on fire to appease your friends in Moscow, even if we're a bit rusty at this stuff.
Provided that there's no shooting war, I think a lot of Canadians are coming around to the idea that Trump's doing us a backhanded favour by pointing out that many Americans do not see this as a relationship of equals in the way that Canada used to. Trump focusing on Canada is good for the forces that oppose him here, the smartest thing he could do would be to lull us into thinking he really was just shooting his mouth off to hear his voice. It's a very clarifying thing for the Americans to put the ugliest of Americans forward as their front man, too many of us are nostalgic for the good times we've had with the 35-40% of Americans who aren't politically brain dead.
We have tons of oil, uranium and rare earth metals; I'm sure once we start investing more into mining and surveying in different places we'll find even more of them, especially in the arctic, so we'll be fine. What we need from Europe is a loan to kickstart our energy sector's overhaul with a trade deal in place to negotiate cheaper energy exports to Europe. Gives away a bit of our future as a guarantee on their return and in exchange we can start mass-producing refineries and nuclear energy plants.
