Buddy, people like you are the reason Canada is falling to fascism. Reap what you sow, keep significantly utilizing American services and appeasing American corporations, that goes for Brookfield as well, major conflict of interest. What products have made Canada unique and respected around the world? Oh right, nothing.

I applied to a couple remote jobs in Canada and was baffled when I go to the end of every single one, they had this questionnaire asking if you are everything except straight white male. Yeah Canada ya’ll gotta fix the systemic racism and sexism and create true equality otherwise just look a bit further south to see your future. Radicalizing individuals and saying that your “society is equal, just some are more equal than others” is a joke that’s been played out in history many times over, spoiler alert it never ends well.

Since ya’ll elected a corporate bankster on the same level as a Blackrock CEO, I’ll hit you with this one: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” - Benito Mussolini

Friendly reminder (June 2025 article): Nearly half of national public pension plan is invested in U.S. — and only 12% in Canada

There has been no official update or scrutiny on this close to trillion dollar investment almost a year later, which is hundreds of billions in the US. This is just one of the Canadian government’s investments that is heavily invested into the US. Hard to say that Canada is doing any actions rather than just talking with a big mouth?

I’ve been advocating this for quite a while. I’m honestly confused as to what Canadians are doing and it seems their words are not matching the actions. “Perfect is the enemy of good” they say, which allows them to be complacent and utilize things like social media en-masse, even though the delete button is free and will actually clear your mind to disconnect from those platforms. Please tell me honestly, for example is LinkedIn still expected for tech/adjacent workers in Canada? These are plain and simply propaganda platforms, they are all designed to manipulate minds in precisely the way Orwell or Huxley had predicted. Including dating platforms.

“When you believe a lie for too long, the truth doesn’t set you free. It tears you apart.”

I’ve been downvoted here a couple times for pointing out just that: Here is just one example. Please feel free to browse my profile history.

While lurking I still see on Canadian reddit city subs people recommending LinkedIn, Indeed, Moving to the US for work, etc. I would argue even online most are still deluded, let alone real life who are still voting these authoritarian neo-libs.

I know it’s hard to believe but the majority of Canadians are traitors just as much as these 15% of Albertans who are seperatist. Grow a pair and delete all your American profiles, divest out of S&P500, protest the government to divest CPP and other hundreds of billions out of the US, but most won’t do even one of those because actions speak louder than words, and that’s just too much work for most Canadians. This will get much, much worse, before it even starts to get better.

Facebook helped to cause Arab Spring. These platforms are responsible for the destruction of civilization under the guise of “connecting everyone”.

Exactly why I’m baffled that Canadians haven’t all deleted their American socials (It’s FREE!). These are propaganda platforms designed to manipulate in favor of fascism, all of Canada’s democracy is at great risk because you cannot have free decisions with a poisoned well of information. Not to mention that this a majority of where the stock market value is held, Google market cap is larger than the entirety of the Canadian economy. Hit them where it hurts already.

Great, now time for action not for talk.

Fascists don’t discriminate like that when they see $ $ $. Mark Oligarch’s lukewarm speech is all bark no bite. He still got couple hundred bil invested in the US with no plans to move it. Look what else he been subsidizing. His speech was good at one thing, and that is ironically making the populace more complacent, not less as said in his speech, this was intentionally said. Canada has been subsidizing every company on the S&P500, how many billions do citizens alone have invested in the US stock market? Actions speak louder than words you authoritarian slimebag.

It looked like an execution to me, I believe the world will see it that way within a couple days as well.

Always was. Make no mistake that Alberta is Canada’s Sudetenland/Crimea. Is it not obvious to say the US military appears more similar to Nazi Germany rather than Russia a couple years ago. Canada is stronger with Alberta and when it’s annexed there must be a fight or it’ll just be easier to get at the rest of greater Canada. Ideally to send a message, traitors/secessionists are imprisoned ASAP.

Yeah this is such a pipe dream after over a year of no movement, the first baby step is motivating citizens to voluntarily delete their “free” accounts on US services. Next good luck with corporate adoption, without hefty government subsidies they will never use Linux, LibreOffice, local hosting, or other alternatives. Since the government will not ban these platforms, the only way is to populate locally owned platforms which is ironic considering after so long lemmy is still fairly dead so again good luck.

Liberals are corrupt authoritarians? Woah never knew.

Many in Sudetenland were hoping Hitler to invade. Neville Chamberlain/Czechoslovakia appeased them and made the world lose so much more. You are a traitor appeaser, shameful but you will likely be at war within a year or two so reap what you sow bastard, I’m just glad I had a chance to spit in your face.

The other 2/3rd’s are Carney-Pierre-voting Peronists who will welcome the invader with open arms. Canada still has easily over a trillion invested into the US economy not even counting citizen investments, there has been zero demand to divest investments, ban US propaganda platforms, plus most will allow Alberta to be annexed which will cause the greater Canschluss. Go ahead cry more, downvote, shoot the messenger.

“‘How many members are there in it?’ That is the first question I am asked by newspaper reporters. ‘How many followers have you? By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false.’ I do not know how many there are. I am not concerned with that. As I said, if there were even one who had been set free, that is enough.” - J. Krishnamurti

Canadians are still on the wrong side of history. Appeasing authoritarian regimes never ends well, but rather people don’t realize they voted in a neoliberal authoritarian (both major candidates should’ve been replaced, Carney is closely tied to the biggest company in Canada and regularly meets with their board members, he has not even begun to move away any major investments that have minimal consequence, which is proving that he is a fascist), actions speak louder than words. Since this 1/3 stat correlates with the ~30% travel boycott among others, it’s clear that the majority of Canadians are traitors after over a year of knowing the clear truth about their close ally, how unfortunate.

EDIT: You anti-intellectual losers destroyed your own countries’ future and are now trying to shoot/blame the messenger. Canada is in a lost decade, check the GDP-per-capita on the official statscan website which shows flat nominal results, meaning that with inflation this stat has dropped more than 20% since 2018. Seek introspection.

Oh I quite literally mean it.

Educate yourself fool. Canada voted in Mussolini.
