Trudeau just called an election

[Smitty-48]

What do y'all argue about?

Canada doesn't actually run its own affairs, everybody knows Ottawa doesn't have the option to dissent from Washington

so there is nothing really up for grabs, voting doesn't make any difference, so it's nothing to argue about

Canadians are actually much more likely to be arguing about American politics, because the decisions are made in America

Canadians elections are like Kabuki theatre, nobody thinks they really matter, it's just going through the motions

Well, it's Kabuli theater here too, but we at least have big policy differences that separate us.
Now, whether you have R's controlling everything, D's controlling everything, or a mix, the same shit always happens
So it doesn't really matter who wins -because they're all on team insider/swamp.
But we throw our votes behind the folks that pay our values lip service, at least.

the swamp is totally impervious here, the system is set up for the elites to overrule the population, on paper

Canada is set up on paper to prevent public rule, it really is an Anti-American monarchy, that's the whole point

so Canadians don't take Canadian politics that seriously, not enough to form into angry mobs like this, screaming obscenities etc

I would bet that these "protesters" are being hired by the Liberals from a prime Liberal entrenched interest

I bet they are union types, from the Canadian mega union Unifor

reason being, Unifor union protests are fake in the same way, they have these same sorts of phony "protesters" show up for those as well

Unifor is shady, false flag protests to help the Liberals win is right up their alley

A pump and dump

What's a pump and dump?

Love them and leave them? Screw and adieu? That one is more appropriate being a French Canadian.

The point was get in get out don’t call her back.

EKOS has the Parti Populaire polling at almost 12% now

that makes them the fourth largest party, closing in on the NDP

So are we all agreed?
It can't have been Canadians because real Canadians would have thrown maple syrup?

you know maple syrup is far more popular in America, most of the maple syrup made in Quebec is for export to the American market

[DBTrek]

It's tasty.

[Smitty-48]

I believe the origin of maple syrup is German, and the American taste for it probably comes from the Germanic American population

one in five Americans being of German descent

[DBTrek]

I think it's just brown, liquid, sugar with a pleasing flavor.
How can you not like it?
Everyone likes sugar.
Look how fat people with regular access to sugar are.
We love it.

[Smitty-48]

it's not that Canadians don't like maple syrup, I just don't think pancakes are as popular in Canada

bacon & eggs is by far and away the breakfast of choice, although that also came from America

[Smitty-48]

it's hard to discern any particular Canadian culture at all

it's a fusion of British Victorian & contemporary American culture

even the French Canadians have far more in common with Cajuns than they do the French
