  • I love that the blame has to be pushed onto immigrants who pay the same taxes we all do. Who receive the same socialised benefits we do.

    Rather than blame the government rats that have been siphoning cash away from public infrastructure for decades. Have you taken a look at Doug Ford or Danielle Smith? Have you listened to Pierre Pollievre talk his dogshit plans for privatisation in Canada?

    Why come so close to hitting the mark only to blame it on immigrants that only serve to strengthen the system if they too weren’t taken advantage of by parliamentary ghouls.

    Ukraine is small compared to Russia and look at them.

    I realise the discrepancy but it doesn’t matter what size the bully is. You should always stand up for your rights. Sovereignty rights, Provincial, State, Human, Civil rights. There are always bullies out there.

    Trans folks make up less than 1% of the fight. There are several orders of magnitude between their cause and almost any other, yet they fight.

    Just because we’re smaller doesn’t mean we have to take their shit. America relies on Canada for large amounts of their lumber, construction goods, and energy. If Canada and Mexico decide to say goodbye then America is just as screwed.


  • Canada has the ninth largest economy in the world. Yes, America is larger but not so large that they don’t rely on Canada for import/export. Starting a trade war with Canada would just see Canada move it’s resources to a more fruitful source.

    So sick and tired of people talking about Canada as though we’re subservient or reliant on America. We are allies and friends. We work together because it works. The moment it stops working doesn’t mean Canada will come crashing down and beg america for forgiveness.

    Sacrificing your life, your innocence and morality in order to secure your lands from imperialist threats that would see millions of your people wiped out or oppressed?

    is it not selfless to damn yourself to whatever form of oblivion awaits you so that the next generations might not have to?



  • Certainly! A lot of this is old knowledge that’s been rattling around in my head from old books and lessons I’ve taken.

    To start here’s a wiki link to summarize the Crucified Soldier.

    Here’s a link to an article by The National discussinf Canadian and German relations leading to Canadian brutality.

    As well a short wiki article talking about trench raiding, namely referencing a book about Canadians in the bibliography section.

    Alrernatively, here’s a link from the Canadian Legion talking about Canada developing night raiding as a tactic on the modern battlefield.

    I could probably dredge up some other information if you’d like but I think these are a nice starting point. From there it should be easy to make your own searches or narrow down your interests. I hope this helps.



  • Canadians had a vendetta against the germans and refused to even acknowledge their humanity on a whole.

    Canadians were the recipients of some of the most brutal german assaults, gas attacks and night raids. As well there was a rumour early in the war that the germans crucified a Canadian in no mans land. Since then all bets were off.

    Canadian soldiers used to throw tins of food into German trenches during quiet periods then when the calls came for more they would throw grenades instead. Ensuring they killed as many Germans as possible.

    Canadians also perfected night stealth raids where they would sneak into German lines and cut the throats of every other man. Leaving the Germans to wake up to their numbers decimated without a sign of the enemy.

    At one conference at the Hague the Germans promised to stop using gas weapons if the Canadians agreed to stop using birdshot in their shotguns and the Canadians said no.

    Canadians really don’t do war kindly.
