I hear Canada's wildernesses are so nice that when people make a movie about the American wild west they have to trek up to Canada to get good enough scenery for shooting. True?
Actually I hear very little that's bad about Canada. Any Canadians have the dirt on the real skinny on the fabled land of the north?
Well, I may be biased, but the Canadian Shield has some gorgeous scenery. Being out in the woods around here feels like being at home. I haven't travelled too much outside of Eastern Ontario/Western Quebec though, so I can't really compare it to other places. Our winters can be cold, but our summers are quite hot, reaching the 30s easily, and here they're humid as hell as well.
For those in the snowless lands, snow has it's pros and cons. It can be great, but if you think people are terrible drivers wait until you see them driving in the first heavy snowfall of the year... (at it's worse, I've had a snowstorm turn my hour drive in to work in to about 4-5 hours... I no longer commute for an hour just for that reason).
Naw, Mother Natures assassination weapon-of-choice in Australia is drop-bear kamikaze attacks.
Canadian bads: Residence schools we don't acknowledge were genocides, disappearances/murders/rapes of Native women and RCMP either not doing anything about it or actually being indicated to having done them, the Oil Sands, Harper, backdoor trade deals with China that bend over backward and fuck the environment for no real gain, environmental degradation. Some other stuff too but they're the big ones.
Honestly, half that list falls under Harper... so much rage there. I wonder if I'd get kicked out of the parliament buildings for booing him during question period (aka, when all the politicians yell at each other like school children. You can actually go see this as a member of the public).
Also, didn't we finally recognize residential schools and how they were terrible terrible things?
What I am Raging about...
The fact that I can't post things on the internet cause I know nothing good will come about it. BUT really want to fucking say it cause I know its right and has a clear cut point...
This came about after accidently reading the comment section of a youtube vid which had the guy make ONE MENTION about something and nearly every comment had a post about it followed by 100 replies and shit. The Comment this guy made on the video was about how he used to eat somewhere but stopped after that company started putting hate on the homosexual community. Reason the company did was cause apparently it was Christen run...
The point I would have loved to have made there was that if you flip the perspectives you could easily see a Christen making the same damn comment about a company run by homosexuals and so forth, heck even if you used the "good old" Black/White stuff as well it would still come up the same...
Let me off this planet, I have had enough...
And this is why I've turned off comments on youtube...
