Man...
I have heard that Canadians have become complacent but really only because what happened the last 3 years.
Do you think it's related to the nice nature of the ppl there?

Yup. Our culture is very apologetic and afraid to confront issues. We try so hard not to be like the US. Due to us not being very confrontational, our government and businesses take advantage of us.
Canadians are apathetic and trusting to a fault. Their identities are founded upon a past that no longer exists. They look at the world outside, shrug and say, "Well, I guees it could be worst." Rather than using what they have at their disposal to make life better for themselves and the rest of the world.
Some Canadians.
Do you think it's most or even majority, for it to get where it's at now?
Based on our elections, it would be a majority of Canadians.
I dont think elections represent this very well.
How so?
What youre saying about Canadians cannot be determined by how we vote. We vote between two parties basically. It means nothing regarding who we are as a peeple or culture. Those are just two options we vote between.
I think you may have misunderstood me. I believe you can get a general idea of the culture of a country by looking at the policies and politicians that the majority of constituents vote for. If you took the policies of the Canadian government and transposed those on another, such as the US, many of them would be rejected outright by the majority of voters. This, one could argue, is a result of the differing cultures between each nation. I didn’t mean to suggest that you could determine everything about a country just by looking at their political parties.
“Peace, prosperity and good government.” Isn’t that the old Canadian saying? That represents a culture. I was agreeing with what you were saying in an earlier note.
Some, or most?
