Nice
The Canadian national identity is about being “nice.”
Nice means being agreeable, apologetic and compliant.
Americans are better known for being brash, pushy and forward.
In other words, assertive, outspoken and direct.
Nice is way nicer. Easier to be around, to nudge and to subjugate.
We’re very proud of our niceness.
We come by it historically.
We and the US all used to belong to the British Empire,
before the revolutionary war.
The US fought hard for independence from Britain.
We chose permanent servitude to the Crown.
We didn’t want to be a free nation.
We’re still smug about it.
As loyal subjects, our formal allegiance is to the King.
One has to maintain entrenched niceness to keep buying into that!
The US went on to become the most successful republic on earth.
Americans arguably have more constitutional rights than any other nation.
They are fighting like hell to hang onto them in a Marxist leaning world.
They don’t have a lot of time to play nice.
Canada is currently undergoing the biggest
constitutional crisis in our history.
We have no sitting government because the “Crown”
sided with a traitorous guy who selfishly
put his personal agenda ahead of all the citizens of his country.
We politely accept being ruled by a medieval bloodline rather
than by a government whose first loyalty is to us.
That’s awfully nice of us.
We are the nicest Commonwealth country.
We like to be told what to do and are loathe to question authority.
There are some bold players that take advantage of that.
The Chinese Communist Party, for example, loves our niceness.
We’ve made it very easy for them to gain powerful inroads into our country.
Maybe our brash, unruly neighbours are not comfortable with the situation?
It would be very wise to discuss our predicament openly and honestly.
We aren’t being allowed to, because that isn’t being nice.
