Not defending what she said but wow. We are losing our freedoms guys. 1984 was either an on-point prediction or coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always talking like he's a US citizen for some reason though lol. Are you serious? I was so sure he was from the US praising guns, and Trump, I mean... I am quite disappointed to know people like that exist also in Canada I just moved here. But that doesn't change the thing I wrote regarding the US anyways. Plus it's funny that he criticizes such things when Canada ratified the law regarding negationnism and also condemn it...

Some of the more conservative leaning people that participate in the discussions in this World News section are from Cananda. I've always wondered about this?

It's funny, because were I live now Montréal, there is no really any conservative, like they are so about social justice and no to austerity at my uni, it's a bit too much sometimes I think but it's a live and let live spirit overall. I just know @Economy lives in Canada too but I know mostly his views on economy so yeah...

I've always wondered about this? Economically speaking weve become more right winged than most of the OECD. Even our Corporate taxes and top income tax brackets are lower than in the US or most of Europe for example socially speaking, we have many immigrants. So conservative people here are not rare. The laws are liberal because we uave strict laws on acceptance an human rights but that doesnt mean were all liberal. My city Brampton (city of 575,000 near Toronto) is mostly Indians, Pakistans, Jamaicans and Orientals. Muslims is the dominant religious people 70% or more of the population in my city dont support homos-xuality. But unlike in the US, people here dont really try to change law to opress minorities rights... Ppl here mostly keep their disfavour of certain groups to themselves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
