I remembered yesterday that there was a book about spiritual warfare wherein a pastor was framed for having sex with a child by satan worshippers and other mud people religions, and the good people in the book prayed SO HARD for him that he beat the rap and punched the Buddhist that was about to have secks with his daughter right at the end. also, angels fought demons, and they were all nationalities! can u believe that, that angels would be asian or jewish? Well probably not Jewish, but you get the point - All of God's creatures are welcome in his heavenly host.

I was in a pretty decent dust up in Montreal like a week ago. Long illegal demonstration, bunch of anarchists, cops shut it down after 5 hours. Was pretty fun, though of course I didn't do anything illegal and merely got swept along when I got lost as a tourist.

montreal doesn't count as canada. (this is a compliment)

a friend of mine was in a long march on a blazing hot day two summers ago (during the student protests) and ran out of water, she reached for the nearest water bottle she could see because solidarity etc who cares right? except whoops it was on a cop's belt. pretty cool way to accidentally instigate a skirmish (she only got a couple bruises thank god)

that was probably carrying one of the chemically-laced bottles they set out in order to incite panic and that cop was actually saving her life

Grabbing other people's property with no thought to the consequences? It's a way of life to these people.

First guess is they have a history of somewhat successful revolutions, whereas Toronto's are huge failures, traditional British stiff upper lip that has percolated through the current DNA, and combined socialism with nationalism, which helps unify people.
I mean, compare the rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada and Lower Canada. One ended in a tiny scrap around a bar, and the other took several battles to shut down.
Course, Toronto should be able to rally around the fact that nationalism and socialism would mean that Canadians benefit from our massive amount of resources, as opposed to rich Americans, but what are you going to do?
Not that I'm advocating Nationalism Socialism, but most of the times a socialist movement is successful is when people are aware of how different capitalists are to them. Hence the shortlived success of anti-colonialist movements.

ontario had a lot of scuffles and protests during the 1990s - early 2000s when the conservatives were in power and tearing down every social program in existence. there were some big antiwar protests too in the 2000s. there were some anti-ford protests too. and the g20 obviously. but i mean... the liberals will have controlled the province of quebec since 2003 until 2018 at the end of this next term except for a 18 month interregnum from marois/PQ, so just because there are things like the student protests doesn't seem to me it's all that more left really anyway.

welfare payments are basically the same in ontario and quebec, that is, very low. K12 education is much more privatized, with a lot of people in montreal sending their kids to private schools (government pays half the tab or something like that). there is a better child care program in quebec, though, and university tuition is somewhat lower (if you include mcguinty's big rebate thing for ontario students). taxes are much higher in quebec though to fund the programs they have.

nationalism is rapidly becoming a weird and worrying vehicle for "leftist" arguments here, particularly in the hellscape of alberta. like the most effective way of opposing the gigantic tarsands and pipeline project feeding the parasite USA is to say that "canada should be refining and using these resources ourselves instead of shipping them off to the states for them to make a profit while we're left with chump change"

which is interesting, because it has definite utility in opposing the koch funded redneck nation Wild Rose party, who can be clearly identified as corporate shills using that argument. but what's the cost??? how does one balance the praxis of opposing a serious apocalyptic corporatist threat against the opportunity cost (lol) of leaning on nationalist rhetoric?

other than the obvious alternative of nuking alberta into a flat glass plane, which I as an alberta native am 100% in favor of

realchat for a moment, the only hope for a true, effective, radical politics in canada is with the indigenous resistance groups who continue to actually struggle against violent imperialist encroachment. if you're a white person and you claim to have a radical politics you are obligated to do your part and show up at disruptive actions, the RCMP are far less likely to bootfuck someone into a coma or open fire on a blockade if a whitey is there to witness it.

radical violent resistance is still alive in north america in a form that will never be assimilated or subordinated by the capitalist hegemon, folks just need to get off their lazy worthless asses and stop ignoring it
