I'm Canadian, too. I think most Canadians are just not informed. Most Canadians still get their news from state funded media which of course spin for the state because 'follow the money'.

We have a very complacent population, which explains the lack of innovation coming out of the country. People's idea of "business' right now is simply renting out their basement.

Most go to work, accept whatever policy the government decides is good for them, and don't push back as their living conditions decline. Given that, is it surprising that we don't see much activism?

I wish it was different but I don't know what to do. Perhaps Canadians should steal a page from the French?

I would love if more of the world's populations were as politically active as the French

And riot/loot?

Well we shouldn't leave all of the looting to Private Equity firms
