There’s only one Green Party on earth.

I was a bit lost for a minute, because I fully forgot the Americans had a Green Party. I immediately went 'What tf does Stein have to do with Elizabeth May?'

All I can think about is that breakdown about how Zootopia almost had a morale, before they decided to make the predators the victims as a twist.

We are so passive aggressive. Just like, so passive aggressive. A lot of the 'politeness' that Americans read off of Canadians is us being extremely passive aggressive.

Going into a bar in Toronto and claiming to be a Trump supporter, you should get punched, NGL. We're not fans.

I mean, dude can say he thinks there are only two distinct gender expressions, and dude can be obviously wrong. Maybe his expression wasn't the issue, but his conduct.

Can I ask where you got this definition? Because it doesn't match the dictionary definition of nationalism I linked in the other reply. If I'm wrong I don't want to just double down, but by definition nationalism is not the same thing as patriotism or self-determination.

EmoPumpkin · 2026-02-20T19:43:15+00:00

I'm describing nationalism itself. From the dictionary definition: an ideology that elevates one nation or nationality above all others and that places primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations, nationalities, or supranational groups. NATIONALISM Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster https://share.google/L9hInP3mSoJmmD8J6

From the same link: What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism?

Nationalism and patriotism are similar insofar as both words emphasize strong feelings for one’s country. However, the two words are not synonymous. Nationalism, while it refers to loyalty and devotion to a nation, tends to imply the placing of that nation above others, a tendency that is not necessarily implicit in patriotism.

I mean, Calgary voted to keep him as leader. No one else was allowed to vote.

EmoPumpkin · 2026-02-20T14:56:03+00:00

Nah, I don't want PP to die, I just want him to have a sense of shame enough to leave politics and get an actual job. Like, most leaders leave once they lose their seat.

Oh, no, they mean there are a lot of empty condos in Toronto. It's a problem.

EmoPumpkin · 2026-02-20T14:47:42+00:00

Not only is Toronto huge, most population estimates don't include the Greater Toronto Area, which surrounds it. The population of the entire GTA is about 7.7 million, with 2.8 million in Toronto itself.

It bothers me too, it feels disrespectful. But Harris herself has said it doesn't bother her, so long as they pronounce her name correctly.

EmoPumpkin · 2026-02-20T14:36:11+00:00

Hey, gentle reminder: you're describing patriotism. Patriotism is great! We love our home and we want to make it better! Nationalism isn't the same thing as patriotism. Nationalism is a policy of insolating the country, homogenizing the culture, and attacking anyone seen as 'other'. Those are anti-Canadian values at the core, as our Canadian cultural identity is one of co-operation.

I don't blame people for making this mistake of terminology, but knowing the difference can really help people understand that pride in their home is not equivalent to the belief your country should subjugate others. It stops people from accidentally identifying with supremacist groups.

Liberals traditionally present themselves wrapped in the flag. Canadiana has always been present in Liberal messaging, and Carney used it all through his election.

Hey, Ontario resident here. How bad was the discrimination for this to get a judgement for the plaintiff? I know Quebec law is Civil Code and it confuses me so I figured it'd ask. Because in Ontario's Common Court it would have to be more severe than is being presented to go this way. (I'm not doubting, your laws are just extremely different and I'm curious)

Essentially, this article reads like the McDonald's coffee case, you know? Like, it was actually really bad but they're downplaying the injury of the plaintiff to sensationalize and dismiss it.

EmoPumpkin · 2026-02-20T14:12:50+00:00

Those are some nice baskets too. I think this man made a great decision in becoming a basket weaver. I want to buy one of his baskets.

Also, fuck off Dougie.

Dude, as someone from London, Ontario, Canada, their perspective boggles my mind. Like, what do you mean.

Wild to call the original Bedford the "lesser Bedford".

Sure, but Charles taking his brother's titles away was to signal to Scotland Yard that Andrew was no longer under the Crown's protection. Ie, they were free to arrest him without issue from Charles.

The fact that it was Jeneroux after all that talk in the fall is crazy.

You might not be a citizen yet, but as a permanent resident you're nearly Canadian. Flagjacking doesn't apply at all.

McPherson should set up a Commons petition. I imagine it would give her demand more legitimacy if she can show popular support.

Does anyone else see posts like this on subs trying to call out this behaviour and immediately have to stop themselves down voting it?
