To be blunt, many people haven't actually forgotten the left chanting for the destruction of Canada while tearing down monuments to it's history.

There is absolutely nothing hypocritical about wanting to acknowledge the wrong doings of your country (such as the kidnapping of aboriginal children and the stripping of cultural identity of aboriginal people), removing statues of racist (along with those who actively encouraged and supported said kidnappings), and still being proud to be Canadian (a peace keeping nation that believes all residents have the right to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms).

Those things are not mutually exclusive, and the fact that you think they are says a lot about who you are.

People who have loved Canada the whole time

Oh the same people who endangered thousands of other Canadians by going around maskless during a pandemic, having zero fucks if they infected a senior or an immune suppressed individual? Or are they the people who blocked off roads, preventing businesses from operating and causing an absolute mess everywhere they went? Or maybe you're referring to the ones who attacked fellow Canadians because of how they looked?

What about any of those actions are you proud of? Which of those actions would you deem patriotic and reflects Canada?

don't get swayed in that by social media

Please tell me you're kidding? Not swayed by social media? The whole "freedom convey" shit was literal social media movement.

And this particular moment in our country isn't about some posts on social media; it's about another country's threats to annex our country. This about another country threatening our sovereignty.

You wanna keep picking fights with people who believe in accountability and want to better our country, by all means go for it, but NOT. RIGHT NOW.

Pick this fight when our country isn't being threatened. You wanna go off about being patriotic, maybe act it during a time when it actually matters.

To be blunt, believing that criticizing the actions of the government against minorities and being critical of the actions of people in the past because you got used to a hunk of stone or metal existing is fucking stupid, and being wounded because some names you were forced to read in some books you never bothered to understand have been called kind of shit people is wildly weak sauce.

You don't understand what people have been complaining about, or even what "the left" is. Maybe you should consider the idea that you know fuck all, and actually listen to the grown ups in the room when they're discussing issues of history and sociology.

Wanking over white power is neither history nor culture. Not understanding that that's what you're doing doesn't make you informed, interesting, or smart.

forgotten the left chanting for the destruction of Canada while tearing down monuments to it’s history

So the radical left. Whereas the radical right is chanting for the death of anyone who isn't a white man or his child bearing wife. Should we be attributing the views and actions of the radicals to the quiet majorities?

Danielle Smith is a traitor in spirit if not by law, she is trying to sell this country out to a racist, bigoted mouthpiece working for his billionaire friends.

You talk as if the statue fell on you.

My dude, what in the absolute fuck are you even talk about. You are not Canadian. You are a disgusting fucking traitor

I really wish people would stop thinking of left and right, or blue and red or whatever. It makes it so people can take the shitty actions of one side eons ago to justify sometimes even worse actions later.

“You think this is bad. The other side did this totally unrelated bad thing that one time, so this is ok!!”

Danielle Trump is the topic and she is not ok. No amount of baddie talk about whoever you deem is worse changes that.

I’ve hated Americans my whole life and never tore down a monument, the fuck are you on? I don’t care about some statue somewhere

Voting suggests your dog whistles are too audible.
