I see Canadian apathy as a coping mechanism. We've been so fucked over in so many small ways over such a long timeframe that we can't possibly give a fuck about so much of the bullshit that's happening. We simply don't have the energy to even pretend to care.

We'll still show up to the booths and vote when asked (a lot of us will at last), but other than that, we're expecting and un-phased that things are getting worse constantly. Whether that bullshit is coming from our government or something from a neighbor or whatever, doesn't matter.

Our apathy should not be confused with either a willingness to take action when we feel strongly about something, nor an inability to take action.

I am Canadian, and every person I've met who can say the same has a lot of National pride. We're known for being kind, and we're proud of it. Push us the wrong way, and we'll burn down the white house. (iykyk)

We need more French blood. Government tries to pull a fast one, they take to protesting immediately
