From what I've seen, Canadians and Americans aren't so different person-to-person.
True, but you could say most people are pretty similar one-to-one. Cultural differences can be really subtle and nuanced.
I didn't say my political leanings come from a family tradition.
Xena said:No. My family and I have been dyed-in -the-wool Liberals for generations.You mentioned that your family have been liberal for generations. Do you think this has had no effect on your thinking? At the least it's reasonable to believe, especially given your usual oversimplification of the worlds problems, that you've spent a lot of time in an echo chamber.
They come from watching the lameass way conservative politicians have always cut much needed funding in areas that matter to us.
Do you ever find fault in liberal thinking and solutions to certain problems? Is a liberal solution always better than a conservative one?
So don't accuse me of being unscientific, silly.
When weighing policy do you navigate using a framework focused on reducing your own bias and selecting variables that can adequately describe the complexity of a problem or do you merely go with the liberal solution?
I've taken several poli sci courses, thx.
This is irrelevant.
I don't support anybody who would turn the crown jewel of Canadian Liberalism (our free healthcare) into another American style pay per use money grab. It's just that simple.
Cool.
The cons are also notorious for drawing up policies that harm low income families, single mothers, natives, and students.
Do liberal policies ever harm these groups? Do conservative policies ever benefit them?
Religious sect... lol
Yes, here's an example.

Nothing you can say about any atheist anywhere would make me support that individual.
I've even boycotted abortion clinics, which was a guilty pleasure of mine for years.
I scratched my very first celebrity crush off my list bc he turned out to be a atheist. He's not a horrid douchey atheist, but... blah. Still not religiously compatible :PThese type of people exist and as you can see you have a lot in common with them.
More like cutting past the hype and the spin, and reading the truth right here:
Many conservatives also read bills and keep up with what their government by reading documents. As such its reasonable to think conservatives and liberals are both fully capable of keeping up to date with their countries policies without giving into hype and spin created by news networks.
What does the term 'conservative' mean to you, in the modern day context of the term, using your own words.
This made me feel happy/sad. 26 people died I think from corona virus at the Pinecrest nursing home in Bobcageon, Ontario. Yesterday thousands of Canadians sang the Tragically Hip's (old Canadian band) song called Bobcageon at 6 pm (instead of the nurse shout out people do) in solidarity for them. Its cheesy but this choir's version makes me feel so emo.

From my experiences and from traveling anyway, most other cultures are notably more different from us than Canada is. Even talking to people who made a habit of going between the two didn't really have much to comment on.
Even without going overseas, if I went south of the border instead of north I could note significantly more differences over them versus you guys when it comes to comparing cultures, so I can't even say it's a radius thing.

What is perfect conservation? Certain properties that do not change within an isolated system given time.
Perfect social conservation is then principals and properties of an isolated social system that do not change given time.
Perfect political conservation is then principals and properties of an isolated political system that do not change given time.
No social or political system is isolated and as such perfect conservation is not a property of the system itself, instead it must be acted out.
The conservative is then someone who acts out the process of conservation in order to maintain a set of principals and properties within an open or closed system given time.
americans who didn't prep get shot by americans who did prep
Isn't it more likely in this scenario that Americans, preppers or non-preppers, would become casualties when non-preppers started robbing the preppers?
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. Yes, the weaker americans will become casualties, but preppers always have more guns and bigger guns than non-preppers. Anyone who spent the time building up months of supplies has the arms to protect it.
So just like a said, when non preppers start trying to rob the preppers, they will be shot by the preppers. Worst case senerio, years go by, society's boundries collapse. American preppers are now out of supplies and seige canadian preppers who don't have guns.
There is no senerio where the population without guns outlasts the population with guns. (and if canadians do have guns then they face the same senerio i describes of americans with/ without guns- no more likely to survive the senario just because they have a maple leaf flag in their bunker)
Survival depends on weak vs strong, not maple leaves vs stars and stripes.Um... yeah, we understand better than you do.
Organized American military with high tech drones and nukes could probably wipe us out. But not before we and all of our other allies throw everything you don't know we have at you :D
But a bunch of Y'all Queda prepper types tryinta take over Canada? Just lol
Hint: In a total breakdown of gvt type of apocalyptic scenario in Canada, the organized crime types would take over the big cities with 500k or more people. And they do have guns. Outside of those twenty or so cities, this country is mostly the type of brutal climate and icy wilderness that destroyed Napoleon and Hitler's armies when they tried to invade Russia.
^ It was still summer when those kids gave up and killed themselves bc living in the bush was too hard.
So good luck coming out of your little suburban McDonald's culture with your summer tires and goofy hair to tryta fight through the Canadian wilderness, thinking your guns will protect you while you tryta get to our food supplies lol. Life up here is not a video game. If the climate, the terrain and the wildlife don't get you, the ticks and other parasites certainly will :D
Bump for Xena's Alzheimer's.
