I think there might be an impression among some people that Canadians are not as brainwashed as Americans vis-a-vis Israel (especially because there aren't as many evangelical lunatics up here), but the Zionist lobby here is far bigger and far more effective than in the US (relative to the size of the country's institutions).

For one, the lobby basically owns and runs the National Post, the country's third largest paper. They have a "media monitoring group" called Honesty in Reporting that regularly surveils Canada's MSM outlets and makes sure they correct any wrongspeak they might engage in with respect to Israel; as a result, you are far less likely to see any mention of the word Genocide here than in the US MSM. Meanwhile, our independent media is even more extreme and Zionist on average than most of the US equivalents...don't believe me? Rebel News started in Canada!

You also have B'nai Brith and CIJA, which are turbo'd up versions of the ADL and AIPAC (again, relative to the country's size), and Quebec is home to some of the most deranged Zionist Jews anywhere outside of Israel. This shit flies under the radar because Canada's an insignificant speck in the world, but people ought to know hopelessly compromised and pathetic this country is. And the boomers up here are basically Americans.

I support not killing kids and innocents, and prosecuting pedophiles. Yes it is that easy.

If you told me 15 years ago that I would be more supportive of Iran than the US I would not have believed you. But here we are.

Same. The thought "America isn't perfect, but X is even worse so we should help them" just happily coexisted with "hey, every diplomatic or military action the US has taken in the last 50 years helped anyone except Halliburton and co"

That's weird. I thought it was Iran backing the terrorists...not the other way around. So confusing.
