making a very similar joke on my facebook page resulted in the loss of a "friend" this week, (and I dont give a shit) guy said "you back a tyrant" and I replied back with "you dont know what you're talking about, stop picking fights". opened his profile up to look through it, trump hats, make canada great again. etc .
yeah, we dont need to speak to each other anymore.
Most people don't "back" Trudeau. We tolerate him because the likely alternative is so much worse.
That's the thing though. The people flying the duck Trudeau flags don't understand that we don't have unwavering loyalty to the party. They don't understand nuance. And it's going to destroy Canada during the next election.
We sometimes like to think of Canada as our nice, quiet, chill & reasonable neighbor here in the States. Occasionally the veil gets lifted like this and reminds us that you're all dealing with the exact same shit as us. I'm still not sure if that makes me feel better that we're not alone, or worse because all of this crap we're dealing with is a growing global problem.
It's all projection. Can't have an Epic Clash if Civilizations if you're waving the blue flag and there's no uniform standing opposition waving the red flag.
So they've adopted a "We Hate Red Flags" flag, to give themselves something to argue with.
Based on the style of clothing, hair, and truck, I was thinking wait, is this about Justin's father Pierre Trudeau, the previous PM? 🙂 Found the image, though, it's a 1976 ad for a '77 GMC Sierra Classic pickup.
Tbf I can't really think of an indigenous Canadian automobile brand. Possibly Detroit being situated on the Great Lakes made the American car industry difficult to compete with historically.
Apparently we make armoured vehicles, Performance vehicles, and all our other domestic manufacturers have been either bought by American companies and brought under their brands, or make stuff like high end buses, RVs or EV conversion kits.
Never mind. The conservative replacement will eventually turn out to be as bad or maybe even worse... Plus they'll probably turn into a leopard and eat your face. Plenty to base your new personality on.
