So, was Canada ever great?

[Saint_Ann]

It's hard to tell.

 

[InsightRiot]

Are leeches great?

 

[oggbashan]

Yes - At Vimy Ridge in the First World War and in the Second during the Dieppe raid which proved that assaulting an existing port was suicide; and on D-Day when Canadians were a significant part of the force landed in the first wave.

Because we're not egotistical blowhards?
We're called the Great White North for a reason. Just ask any American who sports a Canadian flag while travelling outside your borders.

Are leeches great?

Leeches are more useful than your average American. Why do you ask?

 

[thør]

In WWI, the Canadian Expeditionary Forces were well into the trenches in France before the US got into the war.

 

[Mal_Huevo]

Canadians are loyal and respectful. That's pretty great.

 

[screwher]

Canada is not without its faults. But is consistently 1 or 2 in the annual “Best Country in the World” studies. We have a positive international reputation for a reason.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Canada used to great at hockey.

Canada used to great at hockey.

We still are. But the past twenty years or so more countries have been really stepping up their programs. Showing what great depth the sport has now.

Trudeau in blackface: A symptom of Canada’s widespread anti-Black racism

The revelation that, as a 29-year-old teacher, Trudeau appeared in blackface at an “Arabian Nights” fundraiser at his school has made news around the world. Other images subsequently surfaced that showed a young Trudeau performing in blackface at high school talent shows.

Our criminal justice systems are virulently anti-Black — which explains why we tolerate the over-surveillance and disproportionate Black deaths at the hands of the very law enforcers who are supposed to protect us, at least in theory.

Our education systems are virulently anti-Black, which explains why blackface recurs where Black people have to go to school. It also explains the pervasive omission of our histories, our scholarship, our perspectives and our stories from education curricula.

The appropriate response to Trudeau’s blackface cannot be the politics of deflection. On the one hand, it cannot be about empty apologies that claim little more than ignorance, “insensitivity” or even “privilege,” which rectifying very little. On the other hand, it cannot be about finger-pointing, “disappointment” or “shock,” which deny the endemic nature of anti-Blackness.

Lmao! Is that all you got? Seems to be your favourite, and only, Canadian talking point. Might want to branch out a bit if you want to be more effective and less of a repetitive bore, SugarDaddy.

Could you repeat that in English? We don't speak 'murican up here.

I have Geddy Lees eye sight, Alex Lifesons hair and a shared mental condition with Neil Peart. I could be Rush?

Still are. Sadly the Stanley Cup hasn't been back in a while but all those American teams that won it did so with Canadian players.
