Canada is so beautiful and special. Let us be thankful we have all this great land, after we killed off most of the natives and expropriated their land for some hatchets and a case of whisky. And those native children we sent to reprogramming concentration camps to be molested by preists, that was a heritage moment if I ever heard of one. And those Chinese we brought in to build the fucking railroad, we should all be proud of those dead chumps, and for the RCMP for enforcing racism and classism so well too. We must be proud we are the biggest fucking pigs in the world, consuming the most energy and producing the most waste per capita on the earth. I feel so fundamentally blessed by The Lord to be part of this government, I think I'll jerk off on a picture of the Queen and send half of all the money I earn to Ottawa.
And remember, at least we're not the fucking States! It's much worse everywhere else but here, so don't complain about anything! I AM. DRUNK.

Yeah, Canada is sweet. No doubts there, especialy when there's nothing better to compare it to. But i still reserve the right to complain about shit. Like how we'e all so spoiled that we doen't even realize it 99 percent of the time. How the rich will always have the say in things, and corupt polititians making deals and avoiding the needs of a country. But i guess thats better then being mass slaughtered by your government or being forced to grow cash crops for pennies instead of growing the food you need to feed your family. Number one complaint= the fuckin economy.

Pissboy I agree with you.
On the other hand, if you compare what we gave to the Natives in terms of land to what the USA gave, it's ridiculous.
Atleast the Canadian natives are happy with what they got. It probably shouldn't have happened but atleast Canada is fairer than the USA is.
I personally don't think that the native people were the first people on in north america, but thats my theory on the subject.
The reprogramming schools are fucked up. Given the circumstances, I think it was done out of good intentions...
Anyway, thats my OPINION.

Taking away the native people's heritage, language and general way of life to assimalate them was done out of good intentions?
I don't think so

Well obviously....
All throughout history different civilizations have been invading places in order to "expand." Sadly, thats just the way shit goes.

Let's set fire to our houses as a means of protest. We need to show that we dont want to live on stolen land anymore. We can move back to where we came from, England. Oh no, wait, England was invaded by the Anglo-Saxons, that's why we came from there. England's also stolen land. We turn to where they came from - Northern Germany and Denmark. How do we know they didnt just invade that region either?
Anyway... I agree that invading Canada and screwing the Natives over for hundreds of years and continuing to screw them over is fucked up. It's just one of those fucked up things.
I'm not pro-nationalism or anything, I think dividing ourselves from the rest of the world is childish. It's something a child would do to feel safe and warm.
And in response to pissboy's first post - that shit happened because people are fucked up.

i came from moose jaw.
besides the natives, there's a growing third world in canada. Rich becoming richer and fewer, poor becoming, well still poor, but more numerous. environment going in the toilet... the americans annexing our resources...
blah blah i'mfullofshitiknow talk minus action=0...
i just don't like the patriotic propaganda our government and beer producers spew out or the people who lap it up.
The city I live in is burning up and there were 2 junkies sleeping in my yard this morning. O Canada

I say chris, you are a fucking chump.
1: not every white canadein comes from england. Canada was first sellted,from Europe, by the french(the vikings don't count), and Has been setteled by many diffrent types of European people. If you did some reasearch you might find that Most people you know do not have english roots.
2:"...England was invaded by the Anglo-Saxons, that's why we came from there" This statement make it seem like you think that "we" were driven from england to canada, by the anglo-saxons...what the fuck.
The Anglo-Saxons were two diffrent tribes from northren Germany-not Denmark, thats where the Danes are from- who setteled into diffrent parts of what we now call great Brittian, but they were not the first invaders....Great brittian was home to many diffrent tribes of Celts; there was also a group of people called the picts, but they intergrated with the later coming scots. The Roman Empire was the first to conquer brittian. They built roads and were the first to bring the concept of christianity to the Isle. But after the roman Empire fell the remaning Romans stayed and mixed with some of the reaming celts. The second to invade were three Germanic tribes: The Saxons, The Angles, and The Jutes. These feirce seafaring maruaders carved a path the east of brittian and were stoppped. They still remained on the Island mixing their culture with the naitives. By this time The true an pure Celts Are pushed into mondren day Wales, Irland , And North scotland. And We also Have A people who Are a mix of Roman Anglo-Saxon and Celtic. The Vikings soon rade leaving many settelments in Brittian, allowing their people to mix with the locals. The Last people to Ever Conquer Great Brittian are the Normans from the northren french province of Normandy. The Norman are already a mixture of people, the french and Vickings, and have A great Impact on Medieval and up Great brittian. This goes to show that the current people of Great Brittian are a mixture of many difrent races not just 'english'. And no land was really stolen...except from the native americans by the brittish
3: The Natives were the first people in North America.
go fuck your hat you ignorant slut.

you are wrong, the english first came over, it was john cabot in 1497. off nfld. then jaques cartier came in 15- sumpin....its been a while. anyways, other than that, im always chatting with american swho think canada roks, but when it comes down to it they boo us at hockey games(we invented it) raise tarriffs on us, and tell me whats the difference besides a dotted line that makes us worth so much less where the dollar is concerned than the states?? true we cannot isolate ourselves and place ourselves on a pedestal in comparison to the rest of the world, but how many people in the world live in utter violence and watch their women beaten and murdered in their own homes? and how many people dont even get the chance to pik or choose a faith??? we are an extraordinary people with great consideration for mankind, and i thank the gods for the freedom to worship what i will and the ability to have went to school. im proud to say i live in a country that is willing to let the rest of the world immigrate here to have a chance at a better quality of living. ohhhhhh canada, god ur sexy.

Poop shit mutherfucker. Poo comes out of buttholes and is usually brown. I dont know why i ever replied to this thread. There's really nothing you can say. Perhaps congradulations?
Life really starts to be depressing if you only focus on what's wrong with the world and the bad shit in life. There's always gonna be bad shit and problems, it's impossible for there not to be.
