I'm starting to question whether Canadians even deserve freedom at this point.
Like, we go to the cenotaph and thank the veterans for giving us freedom, but that's not really how it works, is it?
They made is easier for us to live free; we don't have to risk our lives fighting Nazis. But if we don't live in a way that venerates freedom, if we just do things because others are doing them, for example, instead of doing them because we have decided we should, that's not living free.
If we go to the cenotaph just because it's the thing that's done, and not because we feel compelled to honor a sacrifice, what's the point? Why not just go to the mall?
Covid has illustrated just how many people actually don't bother to think and, horrifyingly, it seems to be the vast majority. Even now, when we know that physical distancing has the same effect at 6 feet or 60 feet, that masks statistically don't affect the spread, that the vaccine is neither safe nor effective, and that the virus itself is just not that dangerous at a population level, people still insist on following government orders, and even cheering them on.
That's living as an unthinking automaton, a slave.
Anyone who allows themselves to live like that doesn't deserve to be free.
I no longer trust Canadians living in America. Even if they prefer living in the US unless they explicitly reject leftist totalitarian values I'm going to assume they grew up without an understanding of liberty.
Viruses don’t even cause disease. They are just a marker of sick tissue, like a nutritional deficiency, or an exposure to a toxin.
I agree with you, but honestly I’ve also realized that without God, there is no such thing as freedom or morality. Most people are materialists, so what would they know about freedom?

I’ve never trusted them. About time people started getting wise here
Even the Canadian right are bunch of pussies. It's like they've been genetically hard-coded to be weaklings or something.
Remember, many of the ancestors of modern Canadians faught against the patriots in the Revolutionary War. Never forget.
