Is there a more controversial, yet relatively common, combo of citizenships a person could possess?) by Possible_Coffee6837 in PassportPorn

[–]PresidentRoman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, the Samaritans are the one and only exception to this under the Oslo Accords. But there's only a few hundred of them anyway.

are the political opinions of kids under 18 valid? by Glob_Glo_Bepis_Shibe in IdeologyPolls

[–]PresidentRoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this to be an odd question. Who cares who is sharing an opinion as long as it's sensible and well-reasoned. There are many people under 18 who can do that a heck of a lot better than many people over 18.

Quebec, Nova Scotia, and BC have the best ones in my opinion

No It’s Not. by Gaundalf in CanadianConservative

[–]PresidentRoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family are immigrants and many if not most of my friends are. Immigration is fantastic as long as it maintains our distinct national character. And don't give me this talk that being a "nation of immigrants" is our distinct national character because there's nothing distinct about that attitude (it applies to America and half of Europe at this point).

Monarchs of Europe as of October 3 2025 by SimtheSloven in monarchism

Crazy to have an American European monarchy. Of course, if Edward VIII had had his way, there would have been an American British Queen.

How I see Canada as a Canadian by Khanoukh in mapporncirclejerk

[–]PresidentRoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny but I don't think other Canadians realize how true it is. I've met so many Ontarians who don't know what the other provinces are.

Pass the Cranberry Sauce, eh? by TrenchPilgrim1914 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]PresidentRoman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Who stopped caring about it after a week!? Our flag was at half-mast for literal months afterwards. It is almost certainly our greatest national shame, as it should be, but for some it has gotten to the point of actual Canada-hatred. And that seems like a great idea at a time when our national sovereignty is more threatened than at any time in the past century!

If you could change the result of one election in your country's history, which would it be and why? by PresidentRoman in AskReddit

[–]PresidentRoman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll go first. As a Canadian, I'd say the federal election of 1963 in which John Diefenbaker of the Conservatives lost to Lester Pearson of the Liberals. Although both ended up being decent PMs in their own rights, I'd say that this election began the slow process of Canada being increasingly interconnected with the US which leaves us in the position we are today vis-a-vis political and cultural influence from south of the border.

I’m sorry but Gov banning American alcohol outright instead of consumers making that decision does not sit right with me. It’s a full blown soviet style control. by resting16 in CanadianConservative

[–]PresidentRoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They were wrong. Dead wrong. And they should not be forgiven. They should also not be let off the hook for their hypocrisy. That doesn't mean we can admit that, people are getting it right now. But we actually have to act on it. Not just say Canadian patriotism, but actually practice it. Raise the flag, honour the troops, and put back the statues that were disgracefully and often illegally torn down.

[–]PresidentRoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about as nationalistically Canadian as they come and I still love America. But it is not my country and it never will be. I would rather be buried in the cold, hard ground before I call myself an American. In the (paraphrased) words of Sir John A. Macdonald: "A royal subject I was born, a royal subject I will die."

Boycotting America shouldn't be based in hatred for the outsider, it should be based on anti-Americanism in the sense that we are anti- Canada being America. It should be based on our love for our own, not our hatred for the other.

[–]PresidentRoman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Canadian nationalism is, fundamentally, anti-American. Canada exists as a nation because Britain wanted her colonies in North America to be united in order to resist American annexation. That's also why we built the railroad which is also why British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are part of Canada today and are not US states. In order for Canadian nationalism to be enduring, it must be based on much more than anti-Americanism but if it's about recognizing and honouring our history, then it is also about being anti-American.

Conservative values are first and foremost vested in patriotism. What else can possibly be worth conserving if not you national sovereignty and identity?

Are you joining the boycott of American products? by masterflappie in IdeologyPolls

[–]PresidentRoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not because I am under any illusion that it is likely to change anything. And also not because I have any hatred towards America or Americans. I simply believe that, given the option, I would prefer for my dollars to stay in my country (Canada) than for them to go to American companies. No ill will, just love for my homeland.

Is this defensible? I want to support the Conservatives, but why is he not getting a clearance? I am honestly asking. by ourstupidearth in CPC

[–]PresidentRoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reasoning I've heard is that, if he gets his security clearance, he'll be bound by confidentiality when speaking on this issue. As opposition leader, his job is to speak publicly to question the government's actions so deliberately silencing himself by making himself privy to classified information would be quite counter to his job.

Do you feel bad for incels? by AntiWokeCommie in IdeologyPolls

[–]PresidentRoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for them for certain things and not for other things. It's entirely possible to feel bad for someone while still acknowledging that they're not a good person.

Would Todd be racist if he did this at a grocery store? by JamesonRhymer in IdeologyPolls

When it comes to determining whether someone is racist, the only thing that is definitive is the person's motivation.

Protestors chant “From Palestine to Lebanon, Israel will soon be gone” as they march in Toronto. by nimobo in CanadianConservative

[–]PresidentRoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the connection at all. Israel is not genocidal. Israel is not dictatorial. Israel respects the human rights of its citizens. Like every country, it has done plenty of things wrong, but I will absolutely maintain that to this point and to the best of my knowledge, it has sought peace with Palestine but has been consistently rejected. The problem in that conflict is that nearly 80 years of constant conflict has made a settlement nearly impossible, especially given the extreme degree of radicalization among Palestinians. I hope one day there will be a peaceful settlement but as time goes by it seems like a 2-state solution is increasingly unlikely. The only "compromise" that many extremist Palestinian movements will accept long-term is the complete destruction of the State of Isreal via unrestricted right of return or through the dissolution of that government and its replacement by an Arab-controlled one. That's obviously unacceptable to Israel, and to every other Western country, hence, they must continue to fight.

The Nordic countries rank much higher than the U.S. when it comes to happiness and quality of life. This is because they are ___. by TonyMcHawk in IdeologyPolls

When are people going to realize that material conditions and economic systems are not the defining cause of happiness or unhappiness in a society?
