I love my country, Canada, even with it's blemishes like Thalidomide, Marc Lepine and Canadian soldiers in Somalia. Those are all from the past. A bit shameful and embarrassing but it only represents an infinitesimal portion of what this great country is all about. Go Tommy Douglas!!!

    I noticed you didn't mention the ongoing genocide of 100 million natives, the countless warcrimes Canadians have committed on behalf of the United States, or the ongoing deep partnership with a country who's been doing a genocide in the middle east for over 75 years.

    Patriotism is a poison designed to make you accept the wrongs of your country. Demand better.

    genocide of 100 million natives

    I get the point you're making but making shit up isn't helping your point; there are only ~40M people living in Canada atm, and only a part of that number are natives. Yes, there is still lots of racism and discrimination going on but if you want to call the current situation in Canada a genocide... You may need to go out and touch some grass
