I mean, Vancouver has had a few actual riots. Mostly over hockey games and Axel Rose being a dickhead.
28 0 ReplyWait there's an Axel Rose riot in Vancouver too? There's one in Montreal as well!
9 0 ReplyI have some questions, 1) Who is Axel Rose, 2) Why are we pissed at him and 3) Where the hell is the pitchfork guy??
7 0 ReplyDoooope!
Yeah, Axel delayed the show...while fans were in the venue, for multiple hours....then declined to perform. So burn the fucker down eh?4 0 Reply
Well, that's hockey. It's an exception.

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...

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.

As an Albertan who frequently goes to protests against the UCP's constant Americanization of our province, this feels mad disrespectful.

Wow! That is savage! The sign doesn't even apologise for being a little upset. °o°
6 0 Replyi 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.
6 0 ReplyWe 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.
4 0 Replypeople are pissing and shitting themselves over it because the government said so, and they want something to bitch about.

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.
5 0 ReplyAs a Canadian, I take offense to being compared to Americans.
Regardless of how true it might be.
How dare you.
2 0 ReplyHow is their history as bloody
1 0 ReplyProbably 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.

2 0 ReplyI'm not sure how old your kids are, so this isn't very helpful.
I mean, they could have been born yesterday, in which case, almost everything is older than your kids.
I'm just saying. Maybe add some context? Like "this meme is older than my kids, and they're in college" or something like that.
2 0 ReplyThey don't have kids. They made a comment detailing that they don't know how to take a shower.
The meme is still good.
