I mean, Vancouver has had a few actual riots. Mostly over hockey games and Axel Rose being a dickhead.
Wait there’s an Axel Rose riot in Vancouver too? There’s one in Montreal as well!
I have some questions, 1) Who is Axel Rose, 2) Why are we pissed at him and 3) Where the hell is the pitchfork guy??
Someone who’s famous for quitting mid show because he’s a big little winnie…
Someone famous for backing up a great guitarist.
Axel Rose is the lead singer from Guns and Roses
Doooope!
Yeah, Axel delayed the show…while fans were in the venue, for multiple hours…then declined to perform. So burn the fucker down eh?
Well, that’s hockey. It’s an exception.
This would be funny but… We all just lived through tue Covid caravan circus…
And the mounties sporting the thin blue line patches…
Canadians, not so chill
Never have been, but honestly, there usually isn’t anything to get excited about.
When there is, hoo boy.
Yeah, but those aren’t “real Canadians”
/s, just in case…
Tough natives is redundant.
Québec Sexy girls, need a Quebec sexy boy… (inbefore you downvoted me… This is indeed the same Patrick Cloutier as the infamous photo.)
TBF it really fucked him up, he regretted being part of this, did a bunch of cocaine got dishonorably discharges, ended up doing porn (the above clip), and later joined the Coast Guard (a civilian department) where he spends a lot of his time delivering supplies to isolated First Nations…
It would have been bigger if the other side were indigenous children.
You got downvoted, I guess people here forgot how the Mohawks were treated during the Oka crisis.
I’m sure we can dig up more examples than this one.
I mean, I won’t, but we could.
Plenty. Here’s a few others: Restigouche, Wet’suwet’en to name only two

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Soap (the people fighting back against the police)
and I guess the Flu Truck Klan
Are you lost?
The post was a meme in the meme community. OP is saying “huurrr Canadians so polite”. That’s not a new trope.
I’m pretty sure the riots in Ottawa that needed to be broken up by the military, is still pretty fresh in everyone’s mind, since it happened a few years ago during COVID. And yes, there’s controversy about how much of a “riot” it actually was, and whether the force used was excessive or an over reach; but none of that is the point.
This is a joke sir.
This is a joke sir.
Comedian: “Canadians are very nice!” Rimshot
Heckler: “They’re not!”
Comedian: enters Michael Richards state
chill it’s a meme
You haven’t seen our hockey “celebrations” then.
Fortunately Canadian teams don’t win cups anymore.
True, but oof.
i love how canada will literally do a portland over hockey. But for every other forseeable happenstance, it’s “uhm, yeah i think i might disagree actually”
you do you canada, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
We did have quite the protest (some would say riot) over the federal mask mandates.
I still don’t get the issue. Signs saying “no shirt, no shoes, no service” barely get noticed, but putting a cloth on your face is too much?
Okay.
people are pissing and shitting themselves over it because the government said so, and they want something to bitch about.
That’s about it.
The government also says you can’t impede the flow of traffic, but that didn’t stop them from parking trucks all around Ottawa in protest.
Clearly some laws are enforced more than others.
What I want to know is, did anyone get in trouble for not requiring masks? Because if they didn’t, then it’s really on the businesses because they chose to enforce that mandate on everyone.
There’s also a law that says you can’t pay for something with more than 25 loonies, but I’d bet if you pay for a meal with $30 in loonies, nobody will give a shit. We have some stupid laws, most of those stupid laws aren’t enforced because nobody gives a shit. I also know that some cities have banned smoking in public parks. Imagine getting a citation for having a smoke at the park down the street? Idiotic.
Enforcement is where the rubber hits the road. Just because the boneheads in Ottawa say you should do a thing (or not do a thing) is meaningless if nobody will enforce what they say should be a law or whatever.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall any establishment getting fined or shut down for not requiring masks. I know the list of places openly opposing the mandate was small, but at the same time, fines for non-compliance also didn’t make any news feeds that I saw.

in the US? It was only a recommendation, though in schools and i imagine in some institutions it was a requirement set by the local body.
As per usual.
As an Albertan who frequently goes to protests against the UCP’s constant Americanization of our province, this feels mad disrespectful.
Keep fighting the good fight!
Wow! That is savage! The sign doesn’t even apologise for being a little upset. °o°
How conservative expect you to protest when you’re the victim of a genocide (they will support violently suppressing you.)
Canadians being “nice” an internet myth I have unfortunately found. They are just americans in most macro sense. Their history is as much, if not more, bloody.
As a Canadian, I take offense to being compared to Americans.
Regardless of how true it might be.
How dare you.
How is their history as bloody
Probably residential schools and Canadian war crimes in WWI and hockey shenanigans. We’ve been bad.
Clearly the world hasnt met a sour canucks fan whom will beat an old man just for standing in the wrong spot on the train. Canadians have a “0-100 and nothing between” policy about anger.
What’s this a boot?
The all caps! Has this person not even an iota of decorum‽
Is that Frankie MacDonald?
