The population is so divided about what it wants, or what it thinks it wants, it can’t process the strategic realities we’re dealing with right now.
I think this quote illustrates the Canadian populations’ general feelings on mobilization. They seem frustrated that the citizenry is not on the same page as the government. I’m certain if a national poll was done most people would say they don’t want to go to war.
I think this quote is a mealy-mouthed way of saying that basically every Canadian is up to their asses in debt and struggling to get the bare minimum they need out of life so no, they really don’t care what NATO wants. We’re not “divided”, we’re broke af and have bigger concerns. CBC journos really are something else. Do THEY know the “strategic realities”? If they did maybe they wouldn’t write pro-war puff pieces like this.
So many people I know here are either sick or chronically ill because they have no family doctor. Hell, most people I know my age want to LEAVE Canada altogether because we loathe it here despite being born here. There are certainly old geezers here and spoiled bougies flying Ukraine flags who would be fine with war and death because they already got what they needed out of life and watch propaganda 24/7.
For the rest of us who have already sacrificed and settled for so little (even having my own place to myself while working full time is a fairy tale now), we aren’t going to just happily sacrifice more so that Trudeau and parliament can sit around some more and eat bonbons and play war games. We’re going to be pissed and resist in any way possible. I think it would politically push a lot of people over the edge, possibly into communism, but I think we all know it’s more likely to be fascism. It’s not like the NDP are going to put up any kind of actual fight lol, they’re a worthless lib party now. Canada can go fuck itself in other words.
They’ve spent generations alienating and atomizing us to extract more profit, more rent, more income, neglecting our basic needs, but now suddenly we’re supposed to believe We’re All In This Together? I’m going to laugh my ass off when this place crumbles lol I’ve been waiting for it my whole life.

Took the words out my mouth, truly despise it here.
