any other canadians out here just so sick of all of the LIES?!?!?
we are not "nice" people.
are we better than the average american??? MAYBE. not even a definite yes in fact personally i would lean towards a no except that since we do learn about a smidgen more world history than americans we happen to be a bit less obnoxious traveling and discussing other countries cuz well at least we know they even exist but y'all the bar is SO! LOW! so it's just a very small maybe.
just like the american bible belt (we have our own btw in case you forgot about alberta) we may appear to have warm hospitality and good manners but under that sunny façade we are just as miserable and immoral as every other colonial country founded on genocide.
we have committed atrocious war crimes and countless other crimes against humanity
we are the japan of north america - exporting this false image of a "polite" country that "can do no wrong" with a disgusting verocity all while blatantly ignoring our long list of problems because "hey at least we're not american!"
but guess the fuck what not being american is NOT a good enough standard - it's fucking embarrassing that this is our only point of patriotic pride; we have "free" healthcare and we're not the US! yay for us! we deserve a fucking gold star sticker on each of our fucking foreheads
in case you needed to be reminded there is a pipeline being built less than 50 metres away from MY APARTMENT (i am fucking furious) right now because our ugly ass prime minister is just as deceitful and dishonest as any other politician cuz guess what they're the exact same scum here that they are in the US and care only about satisfying the lobbyists that line their pockets and who are those people if not our very own oil conglomerates of our very own texas (alberta) and toronto is a shit hole and vancouver is a shit hole and lets not forget openly and proudly racist and islamophobic as fuck quebec!! every single inch of this land has blood on it and while those past deplorable acts were not directly all of our faults because at the time a lot of our ancestors were immigrants probably treated like shit too whether they were chinese, mexican, irish, italian, ukrainian- doesn't matter- but as the canadians that live here and run this country today we are a mockery to everything we proport ourselves to be by convincing ourselves of the same fantasy american's founding fathers created for them as our very own british and french overlords did for us and by spending all our time paying attention only to the ways that we are better than americans (if thats even true???? like tf you on?) we actively uphold everything that is still so very wrong about our own country.
i am just so. sick. of coming across media content painting canada as a lovely place where "you cant actually die" because its literal paradise on earth and so you just "respawn" ---
if shit like that were true then what the fuck happened to all the kids murdered by catholic and protestant churchs in residential schools? where did they go? why are we only just now barely beginning to unearth their bodies and return their remains to their homes where they belong if we can even identify them at all?
we say please and thank you all the time???
where the fuck was that please when we slaughtered all the bison of the plains for money and to starve out the prairie tribes occupying the land we declared with 0 authority was ours without asking to share???
where the fuck was the thank you for "letting" us stay here in shoving all of the survivors into reserves through manipulative and demeaning treaties and then several decades later offer reconciliation and reparations just to drop a billion dollar pipeline through some of these people's only clean water source for those "lucky enough" to have one in the first place!
where the fuck was the please when that ugly white tesla sped up to keep me from merging and breaking the rules of the zipper merge for the fifth time that day driving home in rush hour because he's "important" and "has places to be" and doesn't have time to let peasants get in front of him as if he's gonna get home any faster than me like wtf is wrong with you???
where the fuck was the thank you when i gave karen (HER NAME WAS LITERALLY KAREN) a discount on her box of cookies that were labelled as clearance when they were not actually on clearance because someone (probably another customer) put this one box of cookies in the wrong spot on the shelf and she threw a fucking temper tantrum all like "dont you know who i am? i shop here every week and now because i'll never come back because you're trying to say i lied to you and i dont appreciate this accusation" like BITCH HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THE FUCKING POLICY PLEASE DO NEVER COME BACK IF I SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN IT IS ON! SIGHT!
and what about all the anti vaxx protests during a global pandemic?
what about all the conservative christians that tried to make school boards reporting the extra curricular activities of their children in GSAs to parents mandatory for the express purpose of being able to then beat them, send them to conversion therapy, and kick them out when it doesnt work the second they get home after that phone call???
what about all the lying liberal losers who think "sure black, brown and gay people deserve SOME rights" but they are "fiscally conservative" and still think that corporations maintain the right to poison our earth, sabotage our economy, hold the working class hostage including themselves because "hey maybe one day i'll get to be the rich bastard who can step on and rip people off and get away with sexual assault charges against minors and subordinates at school and at work" cuz as long as they can hold onto the dream that they get to be the asshole one day then its totally fine!!! everything bad about humans is cool so long is doesnt personally affect them cuz other people dont exist!!! yay!
everything is just great and fine here all of the time!!!
tims is the best!!! even though they stopped making jelly filled powdered donuts, have the grossest icing on the randomest special edition bakery items, water down their coffee, and pay their indian immigrant full time managers barely above minimum wage!!!
the rcmp are so great they wear funny hats and ride horses even though 90% of them actually dont and we have video footage of officers assaulting their suspects too!!! what about that international student who got yanked out of her dorm by the roots of her hair by a white woman during a "wellness" check??? y'all forget about that??? what about robert pickton? the highway of tears??? missing murdered indigenous women??? native poverty in vancouver, black poverty in toronto, the "starlight tours" in saskatchewan?
canada is not a good country.
stop spreading that delusion around.
and to my fellow canadians:
being better than america isn't the flex you think it is.
