Happy Canada Day? Errr, maybe not

Well, it's Canada Day again, the 157th anniversay of Confederation, which brought together four British colonies -- more were added later -- into what was called the Dominion of Canada. Now Canada is not a "dominion", according to Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface, but a "post-national state" which "old stock" (read: of European descent) Canadians have started to call "Canuckistan".

According to a poll published last week, 70% of Canadians aren't happy with the Canada that the Trudeaus, père et fils, have reshaped according to their vision. The poll, conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Global News between the 12th and 14th of June, revealed that 70% agree with Cuckservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre that Canada is broken! 

When asked "Compared to five years ago, are you more or less likely to do the following?", they responded:

Just over one-third (35%) say they are less likely to feel proud to be Canadian, while only 16% say they are more likely. Roughly three in ten say they are less likely to attend a Canada Day event or display a Canadian flag around the holiday. Similar proportions say they are more (27%) and less (27%) likely to speak positively about Canada to those not from Canada, but negative sentiment is on the rise. On Indigenous issues specifically, 33% say they're more likely to learn about Indigenous history compared to five years ago, but even this figure is waning, down six points since last year.

Compared to June 2023, the portion of Canadians who say they are less likely now to do any of these things has grown, especially when it comes to pride in being Canadian and speaking positively about Canada, while the portions of those more likely has fallen. When asked if they agree or disagree with Pierre Poilievre that Canada is “broken,” 70% say they agree – with 32% saying they strongly agree.

What is the source of this increasing dissatisfaction? Ipsos didn't ask that, but other polls suggest that true Canadian hosers are fed up with DEI, wokeism in general, and, first and foremost, the person named in this year's best-selling Canada Day flag.
