This shit sums up how everyone in this country acts though. This video is very much in tune with Canada's overall identity, which makes it hard for me to not hate the sh*t out of Canada. Like what even is my country if not this? I genuinely wanna know.
“We aren’t the United States. Look at all our differences.”
Funny thing is, Canada is very similar to the US. We've got Walmarts and call centers up the wazoo. Canada is diet America, just with more pretentious people who aren't as fun to talk to for the most part.
Canadian leftists fear who Canada is. You grasp this spin right away. It's trying to normalize their far left agenda as "national identity." It's using the French word "genial" instead of "gentille" because the actual translation for the word "nice" is "gentille" (nice, kind, well brought up) and not "génial" (super, great, fabulous). It's trying to rewrite language and patriotism into something weak, malleable, and PC. Don't worry no American falls for this kind of marketing. We're immune.

I would hope so but I legitimately think there lots of people who'd fall for this. "Ohh Canada seems like such a utopia" they'd say.. It's not, it's just America lite, with less personality that's been aggressively marketed as being a utopia. Canadians pride themselves on being even more bland than the British.
"Global overlay" is a great way to put it. All that shit you mentioned really is a global phenomenon, every country has the same overlay and it kills the uniqueness of each country.
Okay I just watched it. Forget everything I said, burn Australia, burn it immediately. Europe's probably the same, so burn Europe too. Even the damned vaccine aside, the overall tone of that video is so.. fake and bleghhhh.
Yeah I bet it is hard to watch, for someone who hasn't been forced to live in a culture full of people who were raised on this kind of video and see it as perfectly normal. Thank you for understanding though, I want to show the world how cringey we are.
'They' keep saying canadians are nice, friendly. I used to go to canada once a month but I only experienced nasty people. Whether in church, a restaurant, a souvenir shop I found people just downright nasty. I felt they hated americans and made sure I knew that. Never returned.
Then you find posts here from canadians wanting to come to US for protection and other benefits. When I ask back if they are willing to become US citizens not a single one said they would consider that.
I've read about similar experiences from other Americans who have been here. I'm curious, how exactly were you treated when you visited Canada? Did they pretend you were invisible, or sneer down at you? I grew up in the US myself before my family moved here to Canada, and I can attest to a difference in attitudes. I remember Americans being more genuinely friendly, and it makes me think the Canadian "niceness" is just propaganda. On the internet, Americans seem to have a much better sense of humor and don't take themselves seriously. They are better at having fun, and I am embittered that I am missing out on that. Americans make all the funniest memes.
I saw this image once that was a collage of common words used by Canadians on twitter vs Americans on twitter. It was designed to paint Canadians as being much kinder and smarter, whereas Americans apparently used a lot of words like "sup, hate, sucks, damn". But since I didn't grow up in Canada, I see it for what it is: Americans are a lot more honest and expressive, and Canadian propaganda makes that look like a bad thing. Canadians think they're so smart, and are fed a steady diet of anti-American propaganda, and that probably helps explain the way you were treated here. I hate this politeness shit, it's suffocating me - what am I, an old lady in 1800s England?
1-Volunteered at church to set up for an event. They gave me a butcher knife and potatoes to peel. I asked for a potato peeler and they had no clue what I was talking about. Then those ladies told everyone I'm an american princess who cant even peel potatoes. (Yet I couldnt believe canada hasnt discovered a dollar-store potato peeler.)
2-Canadian 'friends' popped in (came to US to visit without any notice). Told them if I knew in advance I could ask for vacation days, but now can only take a sick day. Played the tourist guide that day. Found out later, they actually told me to my face, they were laughing at me earlier behind my back that I didnt have anything planned.
3-Went to an anniversary celebration and they publicly humiliated my mother by seating her with little kids throwing food around, seating me in the back of the room so I wouldnt see.
4-At dinner they were bragging about all these canadian actors. I had enough and said 'but they had to come to USA to become rich and famous'.
5-At a souvenir shop, I was tired so I gave my daughter $10 and told her I will sit outside the door, buy what you want. A few minutes later she got kicked out of the store, money still in hand. Sales person started yelling at me in another language. I tried to tell her my daughter has money to pay and without a purse or pockets couldnt steal anything. And that woman spit toward my feet.
6- I was engaged to a canadian. Before I knew anything they found me a job at a doctor's office. I worked all my life so it didnt bother me too much but with my experience I could find a job on my own. So as we plan to marry I said we need a washer and dryer and his mother called me american princess that I want everything. So I said OK, don't, he will come over to your house or a laundromat to do laundry while I do house chores. That wasnt good either because we'd have to pay their water bill. Laundry is woman's work so I said supporting a family is man's work.
The only satisfaction I got was we broke up, eventually I married another and had 2 kids. My mom sent a pic of my kids to her friend in another state. Later we were told the fiance's mom visited that lady, saw the picture and started crying "these could have been my grandchildren". Yet she was the one who caused our break up.
As for my family, grew up in PA when we travel people will say 'you must be from PA' because we held the door open for the elderly or let a person with 1-2 items ahead of us at cashier etc.
The potato peeler one proves Canadians will flex over anything. Should've said "In America we peel potatoes with a sledgehammer and eat them raw." I do not want to know what all these Canadians have been saying about me behind my back, the 11 years I've lived here.
"The original meaning of nice used to be, well, not so nice. The adjective actually comes from the Latin word "nescius," meaning "unaware" or "ignorant." When it was picked up by the English language in the early 1300s, it described a "stupid, ignorant, or foolish" person."

that is so woke that it becomes nauseating!!
At least it's not as bad as that Australian Lesbo PEDO-promoting Vax video from the other day.
Also yeah I bet Australia is 1000x worse. I should be grateful I didn't end up there thank God.

I'm sorry these idiots did this to you and your country. Good grief, that's hard to watch, there's so much pushing the globohomo agenda in it.🤮
I agree, something like this could only be the work of soy. Plenty of estrogen went into the production of that ad.

Don’t worry be happy. ITS NICE.
Nice
Someone needs to fire the ad agency. "Nice" is what you say about the homely girl in class.
I know right. Blows my mind that Canada wants to be the homely girl in class.

If tourism is all they can promote, that's sad.

I dont normally post an encyclical but you asked.

Nice
Clever choice of wording:
"The original meaning of nice used to be, well, not so nice. The adjective actually comes from the Latin word "nescius," meaning "unaware" or "ignorant." When it was picked up by the English language in the early 1300s, it described a "stupid, ignorant, or foolish" person."
The original meaning describes Canadians pretty well tbh.
They pass the puck to be nice? No. Just....no.
