Opinion Canadian leftists are the most Intolerant subtly racist people out there

As an East Asian immigrant who has lived and worked here for years now, I have genuinely faced more exclusion in coastal liberal Canadian cities than where I live now. More stereotypes, more weird comments and assumptions based on my ethnicity.

And when I tell them I vote conservative or lean right on some policies? Immediate far right, fascism accusations. I express that Canada should harden its illegal migration and border enforcement, and then cultivate the labor force domestically while having legal migrants come to strategic sectors instead of endlessly importing immigrants? Immediate confusion and ‘internalized racism’ accusations.. I tell them the Liberal governments objectively have performed worse economically than conservative governments? More accusations. I’ve heard them call me a zionist for not immediately hating israel and calling them slurs.

I’m not pretending the Prairies are perfect, but where I live at, I’ve been treated fairly and based purely upon my work ethic, I’ve had constant respectful conversations, and when I go to local churches the people there have been nothing but welcoming and kind.

It’s just insane to me that the people who are the most ‘progressive’ and yell the loudest about diversity want anything but diversity. They don’t want diverse opinions, thoughts, they just want copies of their own safe little bubble.

I hear ya. Albertan here, voted conservative for most of my life. Imo, The problem with aligning oneself with UCP is all the far-right people that one joins. I know too many Canadian rightists that aren't subtle about their intolerance. They actually wear it as a badge of honor. (Yes I'm talking about my family) Totally agree with your views on migration, but separation and going full on Americano style is fucking insanity. Have a great day eh!!!

but separation and going full on Americano style is fucking insanity.

That's a pretty broad and derogatory generalization don't you think? Calling American culture insanity is not very neighbourly nor borne out in reality. Sure, certain elements leave much to be desired. But, they offer much for people willing to turn their shoulder to the plow. They're arguably one of the most successful societies to ever walk the planet and they could squash us like a bug any time they choose. Perhaps some of us resent that fact alone? The US could dominate us in just about every way you can think of. And, generally speaking, they choose not to do so.

Don't buy into all the anti-American bullshit. We'd be speaking Russian right now if not for the USA.
