How Canadian are you?

Yesterday I took my two 4-year-old daughters to our local public pool—a nice, fairly new facility. They don’t have “Family Change Rooms”, they have “Universal” ones, but whatever - what’s in a name, right? There are about 14 individual private stalls, designed for parents with young kids (especially mixed-gender siblings), or people needing extra space or assistance, or anyone that needs extra privacy. We arrived to find every stall occupied except one. As my toddlers and I approached it, a sixty-something golden girl elbowed right past us, dropped her shoes on the bench inside, turned to me without a hint of apology: “I’ll be right back—my shoes are holding this spot.” As we waited we watched six or seven other stall doors open, in each one a boomer (men and women alike) lounging single-occupancy, leisurely packing bags, blow-drying hair, gabbing loudly across the corridor like it was a coffee shop social hour. No rush. No awareness of the growing line of actual families and one wheelchair waiting. This is a perfext snapshot of why we are where we are as a country. A vocal cohort—often the same demographic that polls show still reliably backs the Liberals by wide margins, even as GDP per capita flatlines and housing/affordability crush younger generations—cheerleading “progressive” redesigns and policies while quietly hogging the practical benefits for themselves, leaving everyone else (especially those coming up behind) to queue, adapt, or go without. No shame. No urgency to yield. Just a casual assumption that the system should bend around their convenience, forever.

The right wing hippy is a much more logical archetype than the left wing hippy. Nature itself is inherently right wing (i.e. hierarchical). All left wing politics are utopian (i.e. opposed to nature); leftism is defined by the violent imposition of man-made constructions like “equality” onto a wild, unequal, raw reality; the flattening of the Cosmos. The only natural analogue to left-wing values is heat death, the theoretical end of the universe, where all structures (i.e. differences, inequalities, borders) are dissolved into a state of maximal equality (i.e. nothingness), and which all living things resist by the very act of being alive. If you love living things and desire a natural way of being, you have to be right wing

@wyatt_claypool “Canada is a nation of immigrants” was first coined in 1947 by liberal cabinet member Jack Pickersgill. Not only is it a lie, the Conservative Party of Canada continues to prove it is nothing but the liberal party of times past.

The DomSoc guys are crashing out over Pierre Poilievre calling Canada a "nation of immigrants" which apparently is not allowed to be said even thought Pierre Poilievre want to reduce immigration even more than Carney already has. DomSoc is insufferable.

You know the conservatives are duds when they verbatim lip sync Jack Pickersgill, the liberal in 1947 who coined “Canada is a nation of immigrants”

So many of these psychopaths are straight up government employees.

Most "Liberal Boomers" in this country are just 17th century Russian Aristocrats who whips their serfs because they complained too much

@Jay52847875Jay @BenWoodfinden They don’t.

@BenWoodfinden Why do they keep voting for left wing parties then?

"Canada’s story gets even more depressing when only young people under 25 are counted. The country then falls to 71st, another new low. Young people were once, on average, the happiest Canadian cohort; now they’re the most miserable. And when compared to 136 countries, that 10-year drop in life satisfaction is one of the largest in the world, placing Canada just four slots from the bottom."

It's generational betrayal. And the first political leader who actually creates a release valve for this tension is going to change politics forever. Forget the youth optimism that carried Justin Trudeau to power. Young people are going to want their pound of flesh. It won't be pretty but it will be necessary and in the long run, probably good for the country. Gen Z/Millennials aren't going to simply roll over while their futures and their children's futures are traded away for scraps. These generations are being asked to not only tolerate but willingly embrace the fallout of policies that are actively disenfranchising them.

@jp18003 I don’t do them. Emberlite does. You can find him on Instagram

@FortySacks how do you do these? do you fire up 3dmax studio and build the whole thing?

Telling a bunch of Canadian kids today, in 2026 they live on stolen land, making them write their own land acknowledgements, as the cultural mosaic is in far worse shape, and demographics have changed so much, will undoubtedly cause a wave of radicalism that may surpass us.

Making of a Mosaic was published in 2000, written by Ninette Kelley and Michael Trebilcock. This was one of the first books in our era to revise history and tell a story of a virtually nonexistent diversity, presenting the changing attitudes of Canadians towards immigration as a “natural” and “organic” change. I was a tyke in 2000, in primary school. The Molson Canadian beer commercial would drop the same year, praising Canada’s diversity over assimilation. We would see it on TV, alongside the government sponsored commercial “What’s your thing?” from the 1990s, featuring a plethora of kids and hobbies of different backgrounds, despite national demographics not reflecting it. In class, we’d have the string flags with the maple leaf alongside irrelevant third world nations. We were told we were all special and unique in our own ways, but equal in value. As Zillennials, this was the authoritative view of our teachers, parents and society at large. We were expected to accept moral blackmail, told our ancestors ubiquitously gave smallpox blankets to First Nations to exterminate them. Harbour an anti-identity of non-recognizance, told that an immigrant is just as Canadian is you. When we got older, moving into the mid-late 2000s, outside of the classroom, the Blacks would bully the handful of Indians, Pakistanis and the gay kids. Everyone would eat at different tables in the cafeteria, and smoke at different pits or bus stops. It didn’t stop at race. The new Anglophones in Montreal, chiefly the children of Jewish and Mediterranean immigrants sat with themselves, would exclude the British-French, and play soccer in different fields. The Asians all sat together. First Nations sat with themselves or the Whites. I remember a Lebanese telling a Moroccan Jew he was a disgrace in front of our principal. To the French Canadians in the school down the street, we were all Anglos. That was another division. They didn’t know or care about our differences. Told every day we were all the same under the globalist string of flags, and outside the complete opposite. It was this environment, that after three generations of Canadian identity were suppressed for Pierre Trudeau’s post-national economic zone, the seeds of Canadian nationalism were sown.

La Dominion Society of Canada est plutôt jeune, compte plus de 2 000 membres partout au pays et est le seul groupe d’activistes politiques nationalistes à reconnaître notre héritage, dont ils sont très fiers. Ils ne sont pas ancrés dans la génération de Don Cherry ou de Pierre Falardeau.

@FortySacks lol vous fabulez.

Il n’y a pas de façon de refermer la boîte de Pandore. Le mal est fait. La nouvelle génération de nationalistes canadiens, biculturels qu’ils sont, connaît le père de la Nouvelle-France, Samuel de Champlain. Ils connaissent Lionel Groulx et Henri Bourassa. Ils connaissent Pierre Radisson et Médard des Groseilliers. Les noms des pères francophones de la Confédération sont présents dans leurs esprits, comme George-Étienne Cartier, sans la coopération duquel la Confédération n’aurait pas été possible. Ils ont écouté les récits héroïques des Voltigeurs de Charles de Salaberry, des voyageurs et du 22e Régiment. Ils connaissent Jeune-Canada, Maurice Duplessis, Adrien Arcand, Michèle Lalonde, Pierre Vallières, Pierre Falardeau, Jean Lesage. Ils savent ce qui s’est passé durant la Révolution tranquille, et ils ont établi des parallèles avec les événements du Canada anglais. Ils connaissent leurs origines majoritairement normandes et bretonnes. Ils savent que les bras droits de Louis-Joseph Papineau étaient les Anglo-Québécois Wolfred et Robert Nelson, dont le premier mena 5 000 patriotes au combat. Ils connaissent le goût de la soupe aux pois avec jambon, des « silver dollars », du bacon et des œufs, et de la tire sur la neige à la cabane à sucre. Le goût de dépenser une partie de son chèque de paie en sandwiches à la viande fumée, le réconfort de leurs grands-parents préparant une vraie poutine avec des frites épaisses coupées à la main. La modernité leur a donné une compréhension hyperréelle de la meilleure moitié de leur nation, en contraste avec les hordes étrangères qui assiègent désormais tout le Canada, qu’elles soient indiennes et chinoises, ou algériennes et africaines. Ils lisent ce qui se dit dans les groupes et espaces souverainistes, ils entendent des expressions comme « tête carrée » et « ostie d’Anglais ». Les deux solitudes ont été brisées, et tout ce qui compte pour eux est la survie du caractère binational du Canada.

@ricPB228409 Donc tu ne penses pas que les expériences partagées des échecs du multiculturalisme, ni ce que tu appellerais probablement une contamination croisée entre les Canadiens anglophones et francophones à travers Internet mondial, soient organiques du tout.

@FortySacks Dites plutôt le rêve de l'établissement d'un Québec biculturel et bilingue. Étonnant de voir qu'on arrive toujours à court-circuiter, à détourner toute résurgence du nationalisme canadien-français.

@charliesmirkley There will be no recourse for the “happy wife, happy life” generation of four times divorced men

Female Canadian Boomers back the Liberals over the Conservatives by more than 6 to 1. 74% vs 12%. Why do they hate their grandkids this much?

Gyno-gerontocracy.

The Indian fears the Shamrock.

They hate the fact that we have cultural traditions which aren't about them.

@oliviermanage @acormierd You have fully imbibed the cancer of Anglo-Canada. There is absolutely nothing patriotic about you. You believe in the Anglo-Canadian cultural mosaic.

@acormierd Raciste décomplexé et il a l’air fier ce petit trou du cul , la haine ne gagnera pas en France chez nous bouffon

Quand des métèques donnent leur avis sur la politique de ma patrie, ça me choque.

@DominicSicard2 @acormierd You are an Anglo-Canadian liberal.

@acormierd Quand des fascistes incel comme toi donne son opinion sur n'importe quoi, ça me fait vomir.
