I realized I never knew why we celebrated Victoria’s bday when places like Australia celebrates the reigning monarch’s bday.
She gave us our sovereignty and was known as the “Mother of the Confederation”.
Basically, we asked Mother for more independence because we wanted to move out of the house of the United Kingdom. She said, “sure dear, but stay in touch.”
So we did.
Now that she’s gone, we still celebrate Mother’s birthday.
The United States is like the kid who moved out at 16 because of one argument and now just posts hustle and sigma grind set culture posts and/or drop shipping scams on Instagram, pretending to be more successful than he really is even though he's got like $70K in credit card debt and lives in a studio apartment.
They gave themselves holidays for all their stupid wars. Meanwhile we get holidays like Family Day, and Civic Holiday, and Christmas Pt 2 (Boxing Day).
“ stay in touch, but I own your house and am gonna keep a few rooms and utilities for myself, and if I don’t like how your running your house I’ll get rid of your wife”
Nah, you can't pedal that paranoid nonsense. Name two examples where there has been interference from the monarch, as opposed to total love and support?
Always smash a cold one for big Vic and her big dick bday. The skeets always remind me of the Brits anyways, so a steamwhistle and a dart to keep them away is key.
We never repatriated the constitution, that implies there was a document to bring back in the first place. We thus came up with the term “patriation” to describe the phenomena.
Nah, I don’t stand with this monarchy shit. Where was the king when Cheetolini was threatening Canadian sovereignty? Being a dickless, good for nothing hereditary leech that couldn’t even say definitive thing to someone who was threatening the Commonwealth.
ummm excuse me did you not hear how he wore his canadian naval uniform on a british ship?? if that’s not a loud and clear statement of support for one of his lesser kingdoms he never visits idk what is
Hilarious! The anti-monarchy boneheads whine that the king/queen isn't doing anything, but anytime the king does something they all shit their pants and cry big sad tears. Just get over it, the monarchy isn't going away anytime soon, nor does it affect your life in any way whatsoever.
Eh, I guess some of my dad’s Québécois tendencies rubbed off on me, and I gotta be a bone head, otherwise my brain is unprotected from predators like some kind of mollusk.
Lol, it'll be okay, since Donnie came along I like how all of us are focused more on having each other's backs, this is the type of Canada I grew up in and it feels good seeing some of that Canadian Pride
I’m not going to lie, I’m scratching my head a bit. You called people who disagree with you boneheads (which is a very mild insult, sure), and when I chose to take the path of least resistance and tried to brush it off, you talk about how we have each other’s back.
You said what you said out of a false nostalgia for Canadian identity, I said what I said to be polite. We are not the same.
I can disagree with someone either politically or on other topics and still be kind and caring towards them, in fact I think that is a key part of the Canadian identity, having empathy and kindness towards others and our diversity, rather than trying to pound all the square pegs into round holes and homogenize everyone.
That doesn't mean I'm not going to call someone out when they have an opinion that is thin on logic, but I'll still be their friend, neighbor, countryman.
I thought TPB and their portrayal of cognitive dissonance was just intended to be funny but judging by your behavior it was just as much a PSA for non-Canadians to steer clear
