I’m not sure how I feel about this.
I do think China is a beautiful county that has a lot to offer, but the abduction and torture of the Micheals can’t be forgotten.
I was in China in 2011, at the height of their "Golden Age". It really is an amazing place culturally. And the natural parts that are maintained are beautiful.
But I don't think I'll ever go back, the political climate is way too sketchy and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
Or any of the other horrible things they’ve done. Then again, the most Canadian thing I can possibly think of is leaving a bad situation for one that’s quite possibly even worse but that you haven’t thought of in slightly more time.
A man looks at three cups. One is full of sewer muck, one of poison, and one of water. After sucking on the sewer muck for a bit he claims he wants a change and chugs the poison because the water just isn’t exciting enough. I can’t tell you what was in the muck or what kind of poison he drank but I’d bet my life on him having been Canadian.
Yeah. that’s accurate.
It describes our politics, insurance, phones, internet, banks, and basically the rip off our stock market.
I think it comes from being a colony, where you just had to put up with whatever the motherland wanted to exploit you for — for enough generations that it’s just the way things are and nobody really pushed back.
And I think this has actually gotten much much worse, as nobody starts businesses or invests in this country. “Why would I invest in you, there’s a multinational company to siphon off our cash right there!”
Yea maybe, but at this point I don’t like to accept that too readily. None of us alive were there when we actually had to just listen to what Britain was telling us, and there’s still no reason we can’t change for the better today.
And there are good Canadian companies, sometimes we don’t notice it but it’s still true. I remember thinking “ah fuck I have to buy from the US” trying to get a Graphtech bass guitar nut only to learn that the name brand product for that stuff is actually Canadian.
We’re just a bunch of defeatists, for no reason, and I’m getting tired of it. We give up without even the slightest fight and then tell ourselves that that’s just how it goes despite being in full control the entire time.
