The lady doth protest to much, methinks.

How is any of this bigotry? I think you are confused, and the downvotes support my conclusion. The French in France are known to rebel, there is a history. Canadian French might be passionate but they are still passive apathetic Canadians like the rest of us in Canada as a whole. Can not see how you find bigotry here. Absolutely ridiculous conclusion.

You are making broad generalizations about entire countries and continents. You have compared the entire population of Canada to the entire population of a continent with numerous countries and ideologies using those broad generalizations, as well as comparing the entire country to a single province with clear cultural differences. There is a history of violence in Quebec as well, which you need to ignore in order to make your prejudiced opinions work.

Hope that helps.

You should inform your opinion further if your only sources are a post on Lemmy, and a single editorial from Post media.

There has not been vast silence about this, and the majority are pushing to "Buy Canadian" from what I have seen. I cannot leave my house without hearing people talk about it and seeing signage in business' pointing out Canadian products.

The majority of Canadian business' have been going out of their way to buy and promote Canadian goods from what I have seen.

Where are you seeing "most Canadian business'" say or do otherwise?

Right over your head eh?

Please show me the stats that proved the RCMP have the same problems (ie: in-custody murders, use of excessive force, etc) in Quebec as they do in the rest of Canada (except ON ofc).

I literally gave you a link directly to the RCMP.

Use that to find what you are looking for, and jog on in the meantime.

You know it is bad when "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" only existed because "Are you smarter than a 7th grader" would be too difficult for the average person in the US to win.

Joking aside, it is really sad especially when you see the state the country is in today because of the brain drain over the last few decades leaving about 75% of the US adult population with literacy skills at or below a 6th grade level. (21% is clinically illiterate)

I think it is time to tariff the US until they get their borders under control and stop the flow of illegal immigrants, drugs, and guns across our borders!

Please show me where I said that the RCMP doesn’t exist in Quebec.

If you can’t, and just read what you thought was there, it would be a good time to stop arguing.

Okay.

My question, posed to someone who isn't you by the way:

The RCMP aren’t a problem in Quebec?

Your response:

Nope, because Quebec has its own provincial police force – the Sûreté du Québec –just like Ontario has the OPP instead of the RCMP

Since I can easily show you exactly where you said it, it would be a good time to stop arguing eh?

The RCMP does exist in Québec, but the vast majority of enforcement is done by the SQ. Here, an arrest like the one in the OP would most likely be done by the SQ and not by the RCMP.

"Vast majority" and "Most likely" supports my point, so thank you for the assist in demonstrating that 100% of provincial policing is not done by the SQ.

Doubling down on bigotry I see. We are done here.

 

The article itself is important because it is fucked up that BCUP kept taking donations long after they dropped out and the election was over, but it had a very interesting piece of information about the election overall that is buried in it.

Between Aug. 29 and Dec. 31, the B.C. Conservatives took in just under $3.93 million from 4,534 contributions, while the NDP received just over $3.93 million from 7,439 contributions.

Provincial political contributions in B.C. are capped at about $1,484 in 2025, up from just over $1,450 last year.

It is interesting that with the same limits, and about the same dollar amount donated, the BC conservatives hit $3.93 million with about 3,000 less donors.

Speaks volumes.

 

The question that I have not seen asked is why are these guns being destroyed?

I may be ignorant to some reason why it is not possible, but wouldn't the best idea be to buy back all of these weapons for use in the military?

I hear our military could use millions of guns and parts, and it would actually justify the cost of the program. It would also be a massive increase on military spending our allies have been asking for and that we are in serious need of.
