Not just a violent and bloody history, but a culture as well, which lead to that history. As to all Europeans being unwilling to deny it, that's hardly convincing given multiple recent decades of fueling and supplying armed conflicts, often needlessly.
I'm well aware of the US attitude towards censorship. My point is about the double standard towards violence and a history of it existing in cultures. It's hardly exclusive to the Americans, and quite European if anything. You can't boldly declare yourself to be "culture" itself and expect to be taken seriously without actually examining those cultures.
"Horrible deplorable violence is only wrong when boors and barbarians do it, not us enlightened beings who seek only peace and nudity".
Not just migrate, but quickly. Move fast and break things crowd demands it.
Could have just written "supply management" and been done with it.
I remember seeing many a Dell tower with the logo button removed in schools. Apparently collecting them became competitive.

How arrogant to think your previous centuries don't offer a culture of violence.
By introducing gambling as a cause for debt anon can confidently assign blame, and remain an enlightened racist. That's how it usually goes down.

I doubt we're that lucky.
I tend to think the average person is extremely judgmental and desperate for status hierarchy. In part that's the conclusion of the study. As you can see in the other IQ-obsessed reply, it's not exactly uncommon.
this is a very good community
good luck thank you for the creature
I'm not buying that older Canadians are any more informed about history, but putting that aside, maybe it's young Canadians self-interest. The article doesn't actually examine why they would want to join the US, but guesses at it being the consequence of "woke" policy. The pieces just aren't connected.
They may feel they have less to lose and more to potentially gain than older Canadians, who built up wealth and pensions in an economy that no longer exists. If they expect the country to offer worse pay, lifestyle, and services, disloyalty is not unreasonable. If a life in Canada means no home ownership, no healthcare or pensions in a few years, and that they won't be able to retire, that sounds a lot like the offer from the US. They're reasonably not sold on dying for Canadian oligarchs over American ones.
Use your words, if you can.
I'm interested to hear from someone that will disprove this, surely there are good examples given the voting on this.
