This is a pretty novel way to invite over your entire readerbase. I've never received a house party invitation that includes a survival battle royale element in the frozen wastes with cold steel (guns are bad and illegal why would you ever use them) before!

True Canadians hunt grizzly bears with their bare hands anyway, so why use guns? Trudeau is completely right to do away with such useless firearms.

Is it true that Canadians also ride deer and elk by grabbing into their horns like riding a motorcycle? Inquiring minds need to know!

You forgot to mention how a record was set on the great competition of accumulating drunk driving charges. 21 apparently. So in Canada your driving skills will increase as you navigate the roads avoiding those competing for 22 😜

Someone should tell Trudeau, "Just because you're a pussy doesn't necessarily mean that you have one."

Canada is a historical mistake caused by pathetic American generalship in its two failed invasion attempts. Britain occupied Canada then, and did so until 1867. By the time the US Army was strong enough to take Canada, the government (Andrew Johnson) had other priorities.

Sadly you’re probably correct.

Well, the US has certainly conquered her now; although this time, the domination is by ideas, not through direct military force.

Perhaps. Certainly the idea of Manifest Destiny has lost its rationale.

Australia and New Zealand are tracking right behind Canada in all these categories. When the Empire is restored, the King will be from the Colonies. Place your bets; winner takes Buckingham Palace.

Alexander was Macedonian, Napoleon was Corsican, Hitler was Austrian, and Stalin was Georgian. The great dictators of history are often cultivated in periphery nations.

This would be convincing if the tough men were in Canada and not Russia.

Reasons why Russia is better:

- The women are more difficult (and hotter)

- Red caviar by the bucketful—omegas!

- Sanctions will make you a crypto ninja

- You will learn DIY

- You can hit people you don’t like (and get your ass handed to you lol)

- Your bros can drive tanks

- Healthcare is free anyway

- It’s okay to be white

- You can have a mistress (if you dare)

- Everything is cheap… including your paycheck…

- You can buy delicious bear jerky

- You will learn to survive being ruled by gangsters

- The rest of the “free” world wants you dead but you will adapt

- Canada isn’t cold enough

It's so funny, I choose this article to read because I didn't realize it was satirical in nature until I got a couple of lines into it. I was going to do a break down and rip apart your article but boy oh boy am I pleased to know you're not actually insane.

Satirical? How dare you accuse me of such a thing.

Living in Canada is not for the faint of heart or frail of constitution. The combined winter blues and easily available medical murder could become even more of a death spiral than what we are already seeing. The cities are becoming less and less safe every decade, and you are not afforded many legal means of self protection. Further, the mass immigration means that if you are someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s you need to get used to being surrounded by people who do not look like you, act like you, and probably think like you whenever you got to an urban centre or shopping centre.

But you can't help but notice that among the hard-working, nose to the grindstone folks, there is still a spark of the rugged pioneering spirit that was able to build up Canada into a society that was functional enough to be mutated into a socialist dystopia. Every hardship is faced with determination (or perhaps, resignation) and the perennial chorus of "it is what it is." You correctly pointed out that Canada is a nation that lacks a national identity (I think it was always meant to be a resource extraction operation, and it accidentally got the idea that it was "a people"), and I think this could still leave some room for deciding what kind of people we want to be and deliberately creating a cultural ethos to reflect the values we want to see in the country.

Despite the black pills, I am not quite ready to give up completely on Canada and flee to greener pastures.
