What's to be proud of? The fact I have to wait three years to see certain medical specialists currently? Or the past of genocide and racism?
I waited 2.5 years for a surgery once, showed up, it was cancelled, they referred me to another guy, showed up, he gave me a steroid injection, said i should have been getting those every three months for the last 2.5 years and refused to schedule another appointment in 3 months.
Really makes you wanna belt out o canada!
Sometimes I think Trudeau has such a hard on for gun control because he realized he's the first PM who is gonna need american style security till he's an old, old man. Every other PM just kinda slid back into normal life but he's not gonna have that privilege. Can't think of anyone pissed the public off to this degree in Canadian politics since his dear old dad.
Do you not remember Harper? That man was/is despised outside of Canada almost as much as in it.
I remember him clearly, Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Brian Mulroney. Even the most unpopular of the three never earned himself that visceral, down to the bone hatred in a ridiculous number of people. The odd "Stop Harper" sticker on traffic signs vs a whole country awash in "Fuck Trudeau" flags. They're even common in the lower mainland of BC. More to the point, like Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, and Harper too, they needed minimal security for a short period of time, if at all, after leaving office.
The other 3 never had to contend with the hyper-polarizing brainwashing machine that is Facebook and other social media platforms. That's the difference.
Man, all you have to do is watch the six oclock news over a few years to come to that opinion of him.
I mean, lower mainland of BC is full of religious rednecks. Particular pockets aren't much different than rural Alberta.
