The mods here on this “Canada” forum are pretty intolerant of Canadian Nationalism. You’ll be pleased to know that I am one more person who who will no longer be posting here. If you wanted a Bluesky echo chamber with fewer users, you’re on the right path.

I suggest you reevaluate what it means to be “moderate” You won’t learn that in a sociology class.

Long live the free state of Palestine…for some reason… God you people are pathetic. Hurry up and start your nonsense revolution already. You don’t want to discuss so I guess we’ll just fight. Let’s go!

The ability to be xenophobic and racist in the name of the country in which you reside

I found this:

Canadian nationalism (French: Nationalisme canadien) has been a significant political force since the 19th century and has typically manifested itself as seeking to advance Canada’s independence from the influence of the United Kingdom and United States.[1] Since the 1960s, most proponents of Canadian nationalism have advocated a form of civic nationalism that seeks to equalize citizenship for Canada’s multicultural society. In particular, proponents seek to unite English-speaking Canadians with the Québécois and other French-speaking Canadians, who historically faced cultural and economic discrimination and assimilationist pressure from the English Canadian–dominated federal government.[2] Canadian nationalism became an important issue during the 1988 federal election that focused on the then proposed Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement, which Canadian nationalists opposed on the basis that it would in their view lead to the inevitable assimilation and domination of Canada by the United States.[1] During the 1995 Quebec referendum to determine whether Quebec would become a sovereign state or remain in Canada, Canadian nationalists and federalists supported the “no” side while Quebec nationalists supported the “yes” side

So ‘Canadian nationalism’ is about

independence from US and UK influence
Union with Quebec
Civic nationalism with multiculturalism

K, bye!

This makes me even happier to be a part of this instance. The mods are clearly doing something right.

canadaplus@lemmy.sdf.org

So what’s the grievance, exactly?

From the modlog it looks like you’re… anti-immigrant. Gee I sure hope you’re Native.

Most people understand the contradiction there, no revolution required.

canadaplus@lemmy.sdf.org

Yeah, what’s the Canada OP’s nationalistic about? Quebec, Native, other? Anglo Canadian is just American, culturally.

And nothing of value was lost.

Looking at your comment history, you will not be missed.

I like Lemmy (using Voyager) you can tag people to ignore. But while I was tagging this dumb dumb I went to look at what they were b!tching about, it appears they said something racist or something about me in regards to the disability tax rebate. I really do not know what was said or how that topic could have been used in that context.

dom@lemmy.ca

Somehow I doubt this is what OP is referencing, but who knows

reannlegge@lemmy.ca

I am enjoying this tagging ability that has been shown to me so I thought hey let’s tag some other people! Please do not make me regret this tag, because I will change it! I 🤪

medic8teme@lemmy.ca

Just check the modlog…I was so happy to report this persons comment earlier today. Perhaps that was the straw. Bigots and transphobes shouldn’t be welcome anywhere.

Just made my day honestly.

I looked at the modlog, and found out!

They basically said that people from India are lazy and lie about having medical issues in order to get special treatment, and that they shouldn’t be allowed to be in Canada.

Their idea of Nationalism is the racist one.

I am Metis actually and a veteran. Everyone is talking about bigotry but automatically assumed I’m a white male conservative as if that matters or something. This social justice mind video game is ridiculous. These people aren’t heroes. I know real heroes and they wouldn’t behave this way.
