Oh I'm the problem? I'm the one who is setting the pathetic wages, rising costs of living and rising food costs? I'm the reason people are living paycheck to paycheck in the "greatest country"? Drop this nationalism bullshit, stop jerking off to the country's propaganda.
What country do you think isn't having those problems right now?
I think this is the thing to remember. Canada is the (second) best country in the world, according to one specific set of criteria. By other metrics it may be best, or slightly lower.
Any individual probably has done different weightings to any metric that might be used to compare countries, so your personal list may be different.
But! But, every country has it's problems. Perfection does not exist. Every country could also be better.
Ultimately we should all appreciate what is working and work towards making things better. In reality, people are going to also disagree with what is working and what would be better though. I'm pretty sure the Qonvoyers are a great example of this.
The Qonvoyers want to help "real Canadians". Their perception of "better" does not align with mine.
Yes. It doesn't mean Canada is perfect and it doesn't mean that things can't be improved but it does mean that the people who are pissing and moaning and suckling at the teat of the Egyptian anti-Canadian propaganda farm would be far worse off if they didn't live here.
I think that the issue is all ego, like the Freudian ego. The people who are complaining can't see past their own belly buttons. "I'm having a shitty time and I'm miserable therefore it's a shitty country." Nah, dog. There are a fuck of a lot of us out here who thinks its a great country and love it.
I'm one of those people.
