Depends on the protest. Have a miserable weekend.

The lady doth protest to much, methinks.

How is any of this bigotry? I think you are confused, and the downvotes support my conclusion. The French in France are known to rebel, there is a history. Canadian French might be passionate but they are still passive apathetic Canadians like the rest of us in Canada as a whole. Can not see how you find bigotry here. Absolutely ridiculous conclusion.

You are making broad generalizations about entire countries and continents. You have compared the entire population of Canada to the entire population of a continent with numerous countries and ideologies using those broad generalizations, as well as comparing the entire country to a single province with clear cultural differences. There is a history of violence in Quebec as well, which you need to ignore in order to make your prejudiced opinions work.

Hope that helps.

You should inform your opinion further if your only sources are a post on Lemmy, and a single editorial from Post media.

There has not been vast silence about this, and the majority are pushing to “Buy Canadian” from what I have seen. I cannot leave my house without hearing people talk about it and seeing signage in business’ pointing out Canadian products.

The majority of Canadian business’ have been going out of their way to buy and promote Canadian goods from what I have seen.

Where are you seeing “most Canadian business’” say or do otherwise?

Right over your head eh?

Please show me the stats that proved the RCMP have the same problems (ie: in-custody murders, use of excessive force, etc) in Quebec as they do in the rest of Canada (except ON ofc).

I literally gave you a link directly to the RCMP.

Use that to find what you are looking for, and jog on in the meantime.

You know it is bad when “Are you smarter than a 5th grader” only existed because “Are you smarter than a 7th grader” would be too difficult for the average person in the US to win.

Joking aside, it is really sad especially when you see the state the country is in today because of the brain drain over the last few decades leaving about 75% of the US adult population with literacy skills at or below a 6th grade level. (21% is clinically illiterate)

I think it is time to tariff the US until they get their borders under control and stop the flow of illegal immigrants, drugs, and guns across our borders!

Please show me where I said that the RCMP doesn’t exist in Quebec.

If you can’t, and just read what you thought was there, it would be a good time to stop arguing.

Okay.

My question, posed to someone who isn’t you by the way:

The RCMP aren’t a problem in Quebec?

Your response:

Nope, because Quebec has its own provincial police force – the Sûreté du Québec –just like Ontario has the OPP instead of the RCMP

Since I can easily show you exactly where you said it, it would be a good time to stop arguing eh?

The RCMP does exist in Québec, but the vast majority of enforcement is done by the SQ. Here, an arrest like the one in the OP would most likely be done by the SQ and not by the RCMP.

“Vast majority” and “Most likely” supports my point, so thank you for the assist in demonstrating that 100% of provincial policing is not done by the SQ.

Doubling down on bigotry I see. We are done here.

I give you a direct source and you give me a wikipedia page?

Go troll elsewhere, we are done here.

We have been in Quebec since 1920. Back then, our officers used to enforce 40 federal statutes or so. One hundred years later, our mandate has evolved.

We lead major investigations in various fields, including: national and border security, financial integrity and organized crime. We share criminal intelligence with our partners in Quebec, Canada and worldwide. We protect Canadian politicians and foreign dignitaries while in Quebec.

We are proud to serve you throughout Quebec!

We need more French blood, where people take to the streets until change happens

I mean France French, not Canadians. Canadians are docile compared to Europeans

Where do you believe people from Quebec got their “French blood” from, and what makes you believe that you aren’t being an ignorant bigot right now?

Not an issue I have to contend with personally as I don’t use anything other than my laptop at home when I want to be on the internet, but a very valid reason to separate NSFW from SFW social media nonetheless.

This should lead to immediate termination of the Officers involved. There is never a reason to do this as a police officer, and having it happen once is too much.

“We should stop making excuses,” Smith said. “Stop saying, ‘Yeah, but we’re not as bad as the other guys.’ We should just say, ‘Yes, we agree, and we’re going to take care of our part of the issue, so you don’t have to worry about us anymore.’”

The amount of fentanyl seized going into the states from Canada makes up 0.2% of the total amount seized, while Mexico accounted for 96.6%. The raw data is: 21,889 pounds seized at the border, Canada contributed 43 pounds, while Mexico contributed 21,148 pounds. (2024)

Those numbers also remained stable going into 2025.

We aren’t comparing fractions here, and it is clear as fucking day that Canada is not the issue when it comes to fentanyl. It is not that “we aren’t as bad as the other guys”, it is that we aren’t doing bad at all. We are in no way shape or form anything like “the other guys”.

We can improve our border security to stop what is entering Canada, and really need to, but saying we need to do it because of drugs crossing into the US demonstrates complete ignorance on the issue. Complete ignorance is of course Marlaina Smith’s bread and butter so we shouldn’t be shocked, but we need to keep pushing the real data out on this one to prevent anyone following this ignoramus to their doom and taking everyone else with them.

In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don’t want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can’t get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol
