Also, I’m not comparing USA and Canada. In fact I criticize Oregonians, Bostonians and New Yorkers for the same reasons I criticize Canada.

Not that long ago, a Canadian police officer brutalized an Asian woman who was reportedly having a mental breakdown. Aside from it being another case of a goon acting tough behind a badge it’s also another example of anti Asian sentiment in Canada. Now where is the Canadian outrage calling for this Canadian police officer to be held accountable? www.google.com/.../
Canada is the most shittiest country in the world! Canada’s gov has a pure hatred towards men Canadian men’s are all SIMPS who worship p**sied!!
Canada is one men bashing misandry trash! Taxes are extremely outrageously high. Canadians donate all its money to criminals and countries that wants Canadians d3ad!
The country is suppose to be a 1st world but runs like you’re living in Pakistan.
Canada hates Canadians. Gives priorities to Muslims. And prosecute Christians and white people especially now. Canadian women all think their Megan foxes, and have pure hatred towards any guy who doesn’t look like a 25 year old brad Pitt.
Canadians follow each other to wards any cliff like sheep. The country is full of Karen’s.
Canadians will eye ball FK you for no reason. And make you feel extremely uncomfortable.
Canada is absolutely a miserable sh*t hole! Canadians are the most rudest anti social people in the world I’ve ever seen.
The laws in Canada are weak. They can be ignored or the gov can selectively choose who they goanna apply the laws on.
Canadians since the 90’s have been celebrating their own distraction.
I rather live anywhere in the world except Canada/ North Korea / and Iran.
If Americans know the reality of Canada, they would’ve just the border with Canada and would’ve got all ties and would’ve treated Canada same as Iran!
The worse country in the world for heterosexual manly men.
I’d never live in that trash country Ever again! Any nation I went to and approached a hot girl or said hi to strangers I was responded with a enthusiastic greeting except Canada!
@yofuknutz I am a white woman from the east. My family is here over 400 years. We had a great nation here so free, friendly, prosperous. Even the little guy could carve out a life here. The first time I heard of multiculturalism policy was high school graduation. At tstht oe Canada was only english-speaking and minorities did not have extra special rights like now. In fact to get into a government job you had to either have a family who was in one of the world wars or a connection from a good friend. My mum got into a govt job because her brother fought in WW2 but she could not get me in. I grew up in a poor province called New Brunswick which like other Maritime provinces has suffered big time discrimination for over 100 years from central Canada since the railroad was built. The entire east coast lost 60% of their population almost everyone in my grad class moved away I think 5 still reside there. I was lucky to grow up middle class my dad was a lawyer in town i also worked for him. People in NB make 30% less income than big cities in Ontario even college professors. Ots ironic there is a huge shortage of drs and I have 2 in my family one is a surgeon the other a brain surgeon and the government will not hire them they send them way out west to work, and bring in an foreign doctor lol. Another myth the majority in NB is Irish not English yet french get all the govt jobs just like in Ottawa. They even drive them down in buses from the north and their English is pathetic like grade 3 level. Saint John is Irish/English only 4% french and they push that bilingual law all over Canada, even in small English towns with 5 french families they make most hospital nurses jobs bilingual. Irish are also the majority in Ontario at 2.3 million yet they get 3 mins on the news once a year for St Patricks Day. They are 9 million in Canada the 2nd biggest ethnicity!
Everything you said is only wishful thinking Canadians aren’t friendly to pass up polite people who don’t have the balls to approach anything and oh yeah I forgot Canadians hate making friends anyways you’re delusional but keep being passive you gutless piece of shit.
Holy shit, I only see this weird ass depressing rant? I bet You Hate a lot of things. Is there any thin g that brings you joy? Rather than hating on dumbass things?
77% of Canadian exports go to the U. S. It would be a low end 2nd world country without the U. S and yet, they seem to think that they are superior to the U. S. I've also known illegal aliens from Canada, working in the U. S. when they're not supposed to. Happens a lot but they don't get called on it often.
Back in the early 80s if you were Canadian, and went to visit an American friend for a long weekend and say cut someones grass and got paid and the border guard found out you would be detained.
I lived in Canada my whole life and definitely have more negatives than positives to say. My roommate is from India. She’s been here for over a year now. She moved here for university because she was told it’s a glamorous place but after I told her my view on it she realized it’s not as great at others say. As you mentioned we have an anti-Asian and racism issue in general. Our Indigenous people are treated like garbage. Our political parties all suck. They are either so broke that they have to tax the hell out of us or are super racist and homophobic. Our dollar is crap compared to the US dollar. Things have happened here which made foreigners question if Canadians are actually that nice as people say. I live in Vancouver, the most expensive city in Canada and even they want to do very unreasonable things for money.
The east coast people are very nice they are down to earth love family and friends and they dont care much about money. If they had 2 shirts they would give you one. Now its changing as greedy foreign investors are moving in doubling the rents they rent out dumps that poor people used to rent. Now those poor people are probably homeless or living in campgrounds and the govt turns a blind eye. A billionaire owns the province.
@AcadiaJ yeah I heard specifically people in Montreal are more happy. In BC, the government enjoys having the homeless in tents which we call “Tent Cities” because there’s so many of them. Rent has doubled up by foreign investors like you mentioned but now in Vancouver they want us to pay a fee of $1000 just to park our cars. I don’t know how they think we can even afford that. They basically think “If you live in Vancouver then you’re rich. Give us your money!”
Every country has problems.. Humans are the problem. Humans create problems. Humans love to hate. Go live in the states or anywhere poor. Then you'll be happy where you live. I live in east of Canada. Never had problems. I hate the government. I hate all world governments.
I've never been there so my opinion is only based on what I see from the news and the people I know from there. It's a very large country, in many places it's too cold for me to live. Their taxes are crazy high. Their healthcare system is inefficient and Trudeau has turned the country into the woke extreme left agenda. So, I don't think it would be on my top list of places to move to. That being said all the Canadian people I know are great and very nice. I don't think they hate Asians. I have Indian friends who live there and feel very welcome
No we dont that is propaganda as is the muslim hijab being ripped off or muslims chased its lies. Just so you know Canada was 94% white in 1970 almost all these minorities have not been in Canada very long. We judge by character and personality at least maybe its because we are Christian too but when I grew up RACE was never ever mentioned that I ever recall. I also dont recall hearing blacks being beaten or killed etc we had about 15 black families in my hometown we saw them as equals we went to parties, did sports with them and even dated them lol.
I am a Canadian and I hate this propaganda we are fed that we are so progressive and open-minded and polite compared to the US, as if we don't have the exact same horrifying history and problems as the US does.
Canada was built on slavery and genocide too, but we don't talk about that or teach much of it in schools. People love to say Canada is so progressive because we legalized gay marriage earlier than some places, completely ignoring the fact that it's only been legal here since 2005. Homosexuality in general was illegal here until 1969. Also the age of consent for gay sex used to be 5 years higher (21) than the age of consent for heterosexual sex (16) and that didn't change until 2019. And it wasn't until 2018 that we actually cleared people's criminal records for charges of homosexual activity that they may have received before 1969. Conversion therapy is still legal in parts of Canada. It's getting better but there are still discriminatory laws about gay and bi men donating blood, and gay and bi cannot donate organs or tissue unless there are no other options and the recipient gives informed consent.
I could on, and I'm sure someone else more educated than me could say a lot about tge race inequality stil very present in Canada. I'm not saying we aren't getting better and making an effort, but citizens are fed this bullshit about how great we are and forget that we have so far to go. Especially when we get into pitting us verse the states, which helps no one
I would say Covid made the whole anti Asian thing much worse. In China, they eat all animals or anything they can see. They actually had another virus after Covid from some bird or something. On top of the fact that China is kinda ruining the world (environment - some regions they killed all the bees and have to hand pollenate themselves, terrible greenhouse emissions; population largest in the world; their views on money, how they raise their kids, etc.) and almost every time I've nearly gotten into a car accident, the driver more often than not turned out to be Asian. I don't make the stereotype. I see it. That being said, I still have Asian friends and don't judge them just because of their race.
I'd say the many people here are waking up from religious crap, which is great, but there are still many die hard religious people here and I wouldn't say most people are against it.
While I am truly grateful to be born and live in Canada due to the many opportunities it provides, I would say that you're a slave here. You have to work such ridiculous hours to make ends meet. Our living expenses are super high. Our phone plans are the highest in the world and much more. It's just an overly expensive place to live. I would want to raise a family here for opportunity and that's it. I don't want to live here my whole life.
Canada is alright when they aren't being assholes to us Americans or licking Beta-Male Batman's crotch. He may run your country, but that doesn't mean yo have to take him seriously, as I'm sure you've thought about Trump and Biden towards Americans, I'm sure.
Anyway, Canadian people are mostly alright. Their government is ass, though. Basically, just like us in America. Luckily, I'm like 10,000 miles away from both countries right now. Then again, South Korean government is barely any better. Let's just agree, government sucks all around the world and have a Molson with some Canadian bacon, mmm'kay?
I think that Canada is typically a good place. It is pretty safe, and the streets are pretty clean. I just wish than Canada wouldn’t ignore so much of its problems, such as the oppression on indigenous peoples, the oppression of people of colour (I know indigenous peoples count in this too, they just deserve a special mention), and homelessness. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Canada though, I can say that the residents are typically polite and there is typically a lot of acceptance (in my experience).
Seriously though. The BBC news groups Canada with America in their news website. It's like not enough happens there to warrant it's own section so we better mix it with America.
@KrakenAttackin yeah, the Americans can do their thing and stay dinosaurs alone. We'll just keep laughing at them like the whole world is. (I'm NOT a woke by the way)
Can't believe Trump was saying "oh noes, the world is laughing at us, I gotta be in charge". And then the whole UN laughs at him. Yeah... Maybe it was opposite day?
The country itself looks beautiful; the landscape, the cities and nature. I'd like to visit it one day.
But their politics are absolutely abhorrent. Many Canadians nowadays are way too deep into the 'woke' culture. And don't get me started on Trudeau... 😐
It’s a very nice place from a tourist POV and I have lots of family there. It does seem more politically stable when comparing it to its neighbour but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. There are plenty of problems regarding climate change and racism in Canada that people ignore
I thought it was pretty cool, but they've gone full totalitarian with those covid hogwash. Plus it's even more PC than the UK. You can't express what you feel otherwise you'll be sacked and wind up in jail :)
How can you explain that it's more PC than the UK? Even though I'm from US which is still less PC in some ways than the rest of the west, I got the impression that Canada is midway between US and UK in that regard.
@UncleJessieRabbit That's just the impression that I've gotten. I've known two Canadians very intimately... It's the impression I've gotten online, too. But I've never been there. They just don't seem to have the same sense of humour or irony around those sorts of things.
I don't know if I've ever talked to a Canadian before. The Canadian celebrities that are in the U. S. seem indistinguishable from Americans. Personally, I wouldn't set foot in Canada because of their anti-Christian laws. I'm too androgynous to go to Canadian prison.
Lol, because there is no anti-Asian sentiment in the US? And anti-Christian sentiment is not negative! :p But I've never seen it that way, that anecdote is hardly representative. Things can change significantly from province to province too. Saying that there is an anti-Christian sentiment in the Praries would be crazy, but would most likely be true in Quebec. In any case I'm all fine and dandy with people shit-talking Canada (I'm a Quebec nationalist), but use better arguments though...
"Not to mention that most Canadians aren’t repentant over the Japanese-Canadian internment." Ok, got any poll to back this up? (The government itself apologized for it, no idea where you got the "most Canadians" part... anecdote much too?
"Tim Stephens was arrested Monday after allegedly violating a court order and holding an outdoor service that defied pandemic-related public health orders." He broke the law. So the authorities have to give Christian figures a pass now?
You Canadians really have grown comfortable with the dystopian state of your country, haven’t you. Not to mention that you think persecution of Christians is a good thing.
Last I checked it was a conservative prime minister by the name of Brian Mulroney who apologized to the Japanese-Canadian community, not you liberals.
@spearheadbt Funny how you don’t even know your own country’s history. Brian Mulroney became a conservative in 2003. Who’s this say he wasn’t already a conservative back then.
Not to mention that you don’t really understand that progressive conservatives were still socially conservative as they adopted Protestant and Roman Catholic social values.
@ADFSDF1996 if you mean by membership, because he left politics by then, then yes, Brian Mulroney was a conservative. Of course, his own party forms the basis of the conservatives... Why I put emphasis on this, is that there are several ways to be conservatives and "red conservatives" were mostly fiscal conservatives, politically that is. There may be religious people within the party, of course, but politically they were not as socially conservatives as the conservatives now are, because most of them come from the Prairies where the Reform Party was based. Mulroney himself was not known to have these sort of views.
And like I said, I'm neither a Liberal or Conservative in the Canadian sense, I'm a Bloc supporter and have mixed political views. But to claim that leftists don't care about what happened to the Japanese-Canadians is just grand. Who's toppling John A. Macdonald statues? The first Canadian premier was a Conservative and well-known ethnic supremacist. He hated anything that was not white and English. He's the one behind the residential schools.
If Mulroney were a liberal then his party would have disavowed him for issuing an apology to Japanese-Canadians. Tell me, if Canadian liberals care so much about Japanese-Canadians, then why haven’t they issued an apology to the Japanese-Canadian community?
John A McDonald came way before WWII, so he is irrelevant.
As a Canadian our country is becoming a sh*thole that I want to escape. Our economy is in ruins and it is impossible to get ahead in life. I am apply to so many American jobs hoping to god that one of them will give me a green card/work permit. No luck yet but I've only applied to about 50 jobs in the states since January.
@Redstang88 I work in the civil engineering field and have no luck. I know Canadian standards, not American.
I already have completed 7 years of university/college, do you suggest I go back and take even more debt to get a third degree in a field that won't get me a job?
Hmm, not as familiar with the job situation in engineering. Most people I know went into trades after highschool and are well established and making $100k+
The independence day celebrations are lit as fuck: free moose-rides, maple syrup slip-n-slides, beer bongs of the finest Canadian ale, lumberjack contests, build your own igloos, and you get to take home your own pet beaver at the end. Shits got all the celly's and dangles anyone could want.
I'm not well read by any means on its nuances whether politically or culturally. But the only positive connotation I have is the nature, Trudeau's policies has no approved repertoire with me. Neither does the asinine striving towards identity politics and radical leftism.
It's alright but sometimes feels like architecture of Colonial America. Like it's whole look and feel is a very weird blend of American and English and a little french.
I'm Asian and I went to Canada for school, and I loved it so much that I want to move there. I found the multiculturalism in Toronto the most Asian friendly place I have ever been...
@yofuknutz I don't know, I was in Toronto. Since most people are immigrants, I didn't feel out of place at all. There are whole regions that speak only Mandarin... ! Awesome city
Just cause there are cultural enclaves doesn’t mean the country as a whole thinks we’ll about those ethnicities. The central ethos and government is more white favoritist
I’m talking about Canadian people the people who made Canada they are white and in the history of America and Canada they’re usually anti Asian at least in the past and sometimes now
@eyekneepain I'm not sure that is true. The railroads across Canada were built by chinese people, and many of the highest level politicians are Asian. The Japanese internment camps are taught in every high school. I don't know where you are getting this from, do you live in Canada too?
I am from Seattle which is america but close to Canada. Do you seriously not know the history of white people treatment of Asians? In america there was a Chinese exclusion act and people said Chinese could never be American citizens. Shortly after there was Chinese immigration to Chinatowns and the people persecuted them and burned down their homes. This was all across the American west coast in 1900. I don’t know details of Canadians but I know that they are similar culturally to Americans so the comparison is not that different. Honestly you should learn some history you sound ignorant
Sorry you’re right I am an angry person but mostly just online. I apologize I just don’t like white americans and white Canadians I think they have a history of discrimination. Not all white people just the historical aspect anyways
@eyekneepain you sound racist by generalizing tens of millions of people based on the colour of their skin, which is weird because aren’t you against racism?
I’m not against all racism I’m against racism against Asians. I don’t care if other people get discriminated it is bad I agree but it’s not my responsibility at the end of the day. I’m just loooking out for myself which is bad I know
Spent three years up there playing hockey. Don’t really have anything good to say about it, other than my billet family and a handful of other people were nice though. The stereotype that Canadians are naturally polite people is a complete myth (of course, as of late, I’d have to say the same thing about my country too, so… *shrugs*). Their healthcare system’s track record speaks for itself despite all the people I’ve heard claiming it’s great. And now they’re arresting pastors… go figure.
Keep in mind I think the people in Canada are cool but other than that unless you wanna be a cuck for the government never live there. I mean no offense to Canadians but I would rather not go to jail because some sjw got offended by my views. Huge deal breaker. Also Canada is pretty rough on legal immigrants and getting good healthcare isn't always easy especially with the waiting times.
