Why are most of the posts on this CANADIAN site about events that are happening in America? This insidious creep of American culture and foreign policy is what is in fact ‘Americanizing’ Canada. If all we read about is from America, no wonder we lose site of the Canadian identity.

    As a Canadian, I am completely resentful that an American would try to tell me what I want my Canadian culture to be. If we want to re-appropriate the term ‘woke’ and give it whatever meaning and inuendo we as Canadians want, that is fine with me. But to have an AMERICN define the term for us? Not so much. There is nothing wrong with the term ‘woke’ that getting rid of white supremacy will not solve. The irony of this s that the rest of the world has to be woken up to this realty before this will happen.

        Americans make it so easy to hate them. Part of it is that Americans hate everyone who is NOT an American or American ass-kisser.
