Why should I celebrate

[puterbrother]

SO WHAT DOES CANADA STAND FOR TODAY & WHY SHOULD I CELEBRATE ?

LET ME MAKE THIS AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE . . . If it wasn’t for our American Neighbor, which is Canada’s ONLY REAL TRADING PARTNER, where we make Gargantuan Profits from Trade, Canada would be a Backwater. AND I DON'T MEAN THIS FACETIOUSLY.

Canada did not have its OWN Constitution and Charter of Rights until 1982, and even at that, Canada’s Constitution is a SQUIRRELY List of Rights, SUBJUGATED by the mood of the Courts on any given day.

In All Truth . . . Canada’s Charter Of Rights & Freedoms Is A Dog’s Breakfast.

Canada does NOT have a First Amendment, and is Proud of that FACT. We certainly do NOT have a Second Amendment. We have NOT supported our Southern Friend and Ally the way America Deserved. And we CRAPPED repeatedly on Israel at the United Nations so as to Suck-Up to Tyrants and Despots.

And as the Embers Still Smoldered just after 9/11, Canada’s Prime Minister from Quebec, Jean Chretien, laid “some” BLAME on the USA for what the Moslem TERRORISTS DID, because of the way the USA Treats the World.

SINCE THE END OF WWII:

Our Canadian Schools have for more than Half a Century PUSHED the Idealism of Socialism, that Europe was Good and American Capitalism was NOT. That we Canadians had a Great and Rich European/Canadian Culture (French & British), while the USA was Nothing much more than a Country of Cowboys and Global Bullies.

Canada EMBRACED Multi-Culturalism FORSAKING Canadian Nationalism. We’ve Grasped the idea that Homosexuality, Lesbianism, and LBGT Lifestyles are as NORMAL and EQUAL to Heterosexual Relationships, which we teach in our schools.

In Canada . . . Separation of Church and State is the Law, so in “Public” Schools, it is Against the Law to Inject Religion in Classrooms, yet, Canadian Schools are creating Prayer Rooms for Moslems, and are Teaching Islam as an Alternate Religion.

In Canada . . . one Province (Quebec) has made the UNRESTRICTED USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AGAINST THE LAW, which has been accepted by the Federal Government, which is COMPLICIT to Linguistic Racism. And the Canadian Federal Government, with the endorsement of the Supreme Court of Canada, has decided that any Province (Quebec) can leave Confederation, based upon a Majority of Electors saying so in that Specific Province.

Canada has also established Human Rights Commissions throughout the Provinces, with the Authority of the Courts, where the Commissioners are APPOINTED Bureaucrats without the NEED to have a Background in Law or even a Reasonable Knowledge of the Constitution, which can PUNISH whomever they think are in VIOLATION of their Human Rights OPINIONS, which are vast and varied.

And Being In The CROSSHAIRS Of A “Rights” Commission Means The Following:

1 – You do not have the Right to Face or even know your Accuser.

2 – You do not have the Right to Cross Examine your Accuser.

3 – You do not have the Right to having an Attorney Present.

4 – You do not have the Right to Appeal to the Commission.

AND THEIR JUDGMENTS AND CASH PENALTIES CARRY THE WEIGHT OF LAW:

I remember a time in Canada, when if there was a Major Screw-Up in some Federal or Provincial Ministry . . . whether the Minister was Responsible or not, He or She would have to do the Honorable Thing And RESIGN.

WELCOME TO THE NEW LESS-THAN-HONORABLE CANADIAN MINISTRIES:

AND NOW . . . When something Earthshaking and Catastrophic happens in a Ministry, even if the Minister has his Hands in it up to his Elbows . . . He or She will NOT Resign, but instead, will Hire Lawyers and PR Firms to LIE, CHEAT & CON the System to keep His or Her Position.

ON IMMIGRATION:

There was a time NOT that long ago, when Canada Welcomed Immigrants who BROUGHT SOME VALUE WITH THEM TO OUR COUNTRY. And the Immigrants who came were amongst the Best . . . AND WANTED TO BE ASSIMILATED.

THE NEWCOMERS THEN had to have Criminal Free Records, NOT be Laden with a Communicable Disease, be either Educated or Skilled, show a Means to Take care of Themselves, have a Job waiting for them in Canada, be able to Communicate in one of our Two Official Languages, NOT Burden our Welfare System, and Preferably have a Canadian Friend or Relative to Vouch for them, and Take Responsibility for their Keep if it came down to that.

TODAY . . . It’s Give us your Wretched who have NO Skills, NO Appreciable Education, Don't Speak French or English, Won't Assimilate, Hate our Culture, Laws and Modernity, Hate Jews and Christians, and are Possibly (Probably) Linked to AL Qaeda, ISIS, and the Moslem Brotherhood.

AND DON'T EXPECT THEM TO WORK . . . Because Canada will give them MORE Money, Healthcare, Food Stamps and Accommodation, than Canadian Citizens and our Elderly who have paid Taxes their Entire Lives are Privileged to Receive.

AND TO ADD MISERY TO MADNESS . . . Canada is Passing Laws, which would IMPRISON People like me, for Criticizing Islam and Sharia under the Guise of Writing or Uttering Hate Speech, no matter how TRUE My Opinions Might Be.

AND THE COUP DE GRÂCE. . . Canada's Single Largest Recent Achievement, has been to Legalize Marijuana, Criminalize Carbon Fuels, and Tax & Regulate the "MAKERS" ‘TIL WE BLEED.

So . . . Since The End Of WWII - Where Should I Start Celebrating?

Canadians are scrappy.

[What_the]

Well, this is a bunch of bible thumping ridiculousness.
Full of hate and errors and flat out lies.

Couldn't even finish reading it.

But, you get have your opinion. I Suspect you won't get much support though... except from Ted Nugent types.

[Sige]

...one can only hope that you're planning on moving soon.

[FreeRights]

Well, I for one prefer Canada as it is, not as you would (apparently) want it to be.

I can't tell if this is your opinion, or not, but it is the biggest pile of BS I have read in a long time. The hero-worship of the US and condemnation of traditional Canadian values is tragic and actually quite inaccurate. The whole piece on how immigration has changed in completely daft. The current system is onerous and largely as described when Galganov describes how the system used to be.

Galganov obviously doesn't love Canada and rather than seeing all the wonderful stuff we have to offer, just dismisses it all in search of some "rose-tinted" view of the US as the new Canadian norm. While it is folly to refuse to see the good in any other country, to only see the bad in your own is worse. We can certainly learn from the US, but I for one would hate to see us take on their values and systems wholesale. Rather we should find that which they do better and would fit with our values. We should do the same for any country, for there are plenty we can learn from.

I for one am proud to call Canada home. She's not perfect, nowhere is, but she embraces good values and is a land of opportunity. We should be proud of much and always willing to improve.

I love Canada just enough to stick around and laugh and complain about it.

Justin forgot to mention Alberta in the 150 speech

What a dysfunctional family we are!

I have come to the conclusion that living 100 years is not enough time to correct mistakes that were made in the first 100. But it would be fun to watch how we would think/feel in the second 100. Maybe some of these 'new idealogies' would not be so great after all. Seems no one is perfect and dysfunctional to some degree. Are we just a human experiment created by a Creator?

Nothing I've seen or experienced has pointed me to even ask that question, ever.

Do not agree completely but I will say that our elected politicians across this country are turning many cities and even smaller communities into a "cesspool" of crime and much of that comes from being "politically correct" which has replaced common sense. You only have to look at the increase in violent crime in Canada in the last 35 years and see who and where the people that are committing the bulk of it are from.

Can you please provide stats to back up your claim?
BC crime stats have generally been improving over the last 10 years at least and the total crime rate for Canada has been falling since 1991 and while it rose from 1982 to 1991, it is still much lower today than in 1982.

^^More of this, and less of whatever the Grand Dragon... errrr... Sorry, "Galganov", has been spewing...

Facts are facts; opinions are, well, we all know what they're like -- and everyone's got one.

No I cannot provide the "stats" you request. Unlike yourself who apparently believes all "stats" put out by all levels of government and "lives" by this, I read headlines. To put it simply, 30 years ago we did not read about shootings in Vancouver and surrounding areas at the rate we have today. Crime does not have to be a murder, ANY shooting is a crime. Toronto is in the same boat. One only has to look at the names of the victims and the people caught.

It's not a matter of believing the government or not, it's a matter of trying to be objective. We have much greater access to news and media, which has become much more sensational. The fact is that our media is really bad, poorly informed and sticks to the mantra of "if it bleeds it leads". Getting an objective view of things is hard in light of such poor journalism.
