You're essentially saying that there is no left or right in canadian politics. It's hard for me to imagine polar cultures without clashes. It's as if the canadians don't have a culture or don't pose a resistance.

^Now that's plain propaganda and nonsense
On one hand you(and some others like you) canadians glorify canada for being some special land(a familiar canadian trait) and yet you also accuse canadas politics and politicians for polarizing politics "akin to the third world".
Your PoV sounds like minority PR propaganda to me.Last edited by anil; 20 Nov 15,, 04:23.

Canada & Australia are very similar societies. If they were further away from the North Pole & the US they'd be almost as good as us ;-). We have cultures in which 'polar cultures' can exist with minimal violence. Want to know when the last time the phrase 'election violence' was a feature of Australian life - never. I'm betting Canada is much the same. Want to know how often angry mobs murder people because they don't like their religion or politics? Don't recall the last instance. We have played host to all manner of ancient & modern conflicts and have done pretty well. We are not perfect societies when it comes to theses things, but we do exceptionally well given our diversity.
People come to places like Canada to get away from what you clearly think is 'normal'. People worked damned hard to make sure it became like that and people work damned hard to ensure it stays that way. Not just soldiers, police & politicians, but ordinary people who decide to keep their behaviour civilized even when passions run high. You may not see that as 'a culture', but we are all quite taken with it.sigpic

I'm not the one to decide whats right and wrong or whats good or bad. I didn't judge canada's politics on the basis of conscience. Canadas politics don't have any direct effect on me, my country or my people. There's nothing personal in this case for me to be unhappy with canada. I merely offered an opinion based on what I know about class and culture politics. Cultures will always compete with other cultures vigorously and violently when necessary. I see it as a kind of survival strategy. I think THAT is normal.
I think both canada and australia has a far right, a far left and a centre right. Whats yet to arrive here is a break-even in the vote bank. Although, these concepts are probably all alien to you so I might appear as pointless and blank to you.

lol and here I come in a few days later thinking I needed to defend my last post.
Anil, face it - yes, you had an opinion. And people who know better told you your opinion is wrong. There's nothing wrong with being ignorant on this particular subject - I wouldn't claim to be an expert on Indian politics, for example.Last edited by DPrime; 21 Nov 15,, 15:43.

Dang you are one nasty piece of work. Tronic described you perfectly.
A proud, polytheist Jihadi.
If all of India had the same thoughts as you, we would already be like Syria/Iraq. Constant war and atrocities.
People like me would already have suffered the same fate as the Yazdis.
Thankfully we have somehow held it together so far.
I really really need to be smart like Cataphract and Tronic and get my ass to Mars (Canada) before the shit hits the fan.For Gallifrey! For Victory! For the end of time itself!!
