Some observations of Canada from my 10 day house-swap with a Canadian family in Toronto:

Native Canadian people are helpful, but Canadian immigrants don't talk to strangers.
Most things are more expensive than in the US, like $6.50 Canadian for a Hagen Daas ice cream bar in Toronto Island park.
The Lindt chocolates are all forgeries, just crap in elite wrappers. Canadians are unaware of the fraud, since they've never had good chocolate.
Via Rail beats Amtrak by a long shot. Via Rail is clean, on-time, and cheap.
Tap water tastes pretty good.
There are two sales taxes instead of just one: provincial and federal.
Beer and wine in Ontario are sold only by the provincial liquor monopoly, at twice the cost as in the US. BYOB/W
Public pools are free, though run-down.
Immigrants in Toronto are the largest percentage of any city in the world.
The subway system in Toronto is efficient and inexpensive.
Milk comes in a bag rather than in a gallon jug.
Prostitution advertising is brazen and cheap.
There are many Muslim women, some completely covered in Burqas.
Women have more tattoos than in the US.
Marijuana can be smelled in the air on many major Toronto streets.
There is a visible gay population in Toronto.
There are a surprising number of Canadian flags on cars and houses.
The Canadian accent becomes more noticeable the more you hear it.

When I heard that this Russian-Ukrainian family from Moscow was considering making Toronto their new home, I had an idea of what they were coming from having spent several years in Russia myself. I also had an idea what they might expect to find in Canada and what they would actually find there. I hoped for the best for them but had a feeling that there was a good chance they’d be disappointed. The conception of the orderly, affluent, and implicitly white suburbs of North America seems like a dream when compared to the slate-coloured concrete apartment blocks of the former Soviet Union. However, the new reality of overpriced urban centres cramped with vape shops, Indian takeout, and Vietnamese nail salons, populated by a hodgepodge of third world migrants isn’t nearly as appealing.

It was depressing, though not at all surprising to hear that it only took this family two weeks of being in Toronto before deciding that they didn’t want to stay any longer. From what I was told, their impression of the city was that it was dirty, expensive, and most notably of all, majority non-white, something which they considered a deal breaker. Last I heard, they decided to settle in Poland instead, another former Eastern Bloc country, ironically a lot more similar to where they had to left in the first place.

That Canadian freeze on withdrawing from real estate funds will really hurt the retirees living off those funds.

Passengers aboard an Air Canada flight were startled by “chilling screams” coming from beneath the cabin as the aircraft taxied for takeoff.

The screams emerged from a ground crew member who was accidentally trapped in the cargo hold.

The incident occurred on December 13 aboard Air Canada Flight 1502.

The packed passenger jet was preparing to depart Toronto Pearson International Airport for Moncton, New Brunswick, according to CBC.

The aircraft, an Airbus jet carrying 184 passengers, had its cargo doors “inadvertently closed.”

However, a worker was still inside the luggage compartment.

As the plane began rolling toward the runway, loud banging and desperate cries were heard from the rear of the cabin.

The alarming sounds immediately triggered panic among the passengers.

The screaming prompted flight attendants to rush down the aisle. ...

“We could see the crew gathering around the plane, so we knew something was happening,” Caron said.

“Then, the pilot tells us that there is someone from the crew in the luggage hold.”

The aircraft stopped before reaching the runway.

The trapped ground crew member was quickly freed.

He was then brought into the cabin, where he reassured passengers that he was unharmed.

Wasn't the collapse the result of ban on foreign (read CCP) investment into SFHs?

Only certain provinces did that. Mostly, it's because they put the brakes on the rampant immigration levels they had for 15 years.

Probably the real reason so many old, rich Canadians stayed home this winter.

The previous head of the Bank of England, drafted to be fake elected and installed as Canadian PM, overtly states the City of London mirror reflection of the CCP will be drafted into the New World Order. He's spooked by Venezuela.

Talk about Satanic. I can never forget the video (which I wished I saved) where Carney was questioned and he literally started speaking in tongues in no recognizable language. Maybe the language was an ancient language of the nether regions, but it was one of the wierdest things I have ever seen a leader do in a vid. He is most definitely one of the spooky possessed.

Worse than that. It was French...

Canadian outdoor temperature influence politician decision.
Is not the first time when Canadian government freezing people accounts.
That typical for communist behavior.
1.Take money from people,
2. Take away asset form rich, make it public asset,
3. Makes everybody poor, under full control, and alcoholic,
4. Maximums enrich those who run country.

Yes, we can see this trend not only in Canada but in European Union and sanctuary US states.

North Snow Venezuela installed toilet leader engages in some Satanic Inversion doozies. Kommie Canada is just as involved in the City of London drug trades, criminal entrprises and money laundering as it's southern sister country. Carney is happy to funnel the fentanyl through the borders.

Looks like Canada may be losing a chunk bigger than Greenland. The Commonwealth will be split and Ottawa and its KommieKunt fake election ways will go down the tubes.

I don't mind though. It makes good points and I support resistance against the gay race communism of Ottawa.

You can tell by the unreal mannerisms people have and the cadence of their speech. The Alberta video is also AI. Also real people just don't enunciate like that.

Canadians speak that way..esp in Alberta. It's in their East where they speak faster, like Ontario.

Canadians build slightly differently. Learned that from watching Stargate SG-1 (filmed in Vancover and environs) and visiting up there. I bet they put the fire hydrants further into the lot like that to PREVENT drivers from hitting them when snow cover is so heavy they can't tell where the street ends & sidewalk begins. Or someone thought that was a good idea, at least.

It's real:

It's too far inside the lawn for that to be a reason.

Maybe true about the fire hydrants but I still don't believe it's real. Upon re-watch look at how the water sprays, looks fake. Also the interview at the end sounds like the way too many fake videos I've seen. I'm not sure where you got that evidence but I still don't believe it. However, I could be wrong. Or it could be true and the video is still fake.

It's blurry enough so that it's hard to notice any defects you'd normally see. Both the recording and the interview. I could imagine some low-rez security cam but why is the interview so blurry. Hiding something - the fact that it's AI.
397   Maga_Chaos_Monkey   2026 Jan 24, 9:41am  

Bullitt County, Kentucky does not have a local television station specifically called "Channel 7."

I'm assuming I got the right Bullitt County. That looks like channel 7 from the SF bay area. Granted, they might have flown out there in the snow for an interview but I doubt that.

Also:

CTV is not broadcast on Channel 7 in Canada. The channel number for CTV varies by city and provider. For example:

In Toronto, CTV is on Channel 9.1 (over-the-air) or Channel 212 on Bell Satellite.
In Vancouver, it's on Channel 32.1 (over-the-air) or Channel 250 on Bell Satellite.
In Calgary, it's on Channel 4.1 (over-the-air) or Channel 243 on Bell Satellite.
There is no standard "Channel 7" for CTV across Canada. Channel assignments depend on the local broadcaster and TV service provider (e.g., Bell, Rogers, Shaw, Telus).

The post above claims that the video was CTV news.
398   Maga_Chaos_Monkey   2026 Jan 24, 9:44am  

Possibly this:

The viral video you're referring to involves a boy who built a snowman over a fire hydrant in Pennsylvania, not on a tree stump as sometimes misreported. The story, shared on Reddit over a decade ago, describes how the narrator's sister built a snowman close to the road, which was then run over by a neighbor's truck. In revenge, the narrator built a second snowman directly on top of a fire hydrant in their yard. Days later, the same truck returned and crashed into it, severely damaging the vehicle.

This incident took place in a small borough in Pennsylvania, and while the video of the crash isn't widely confirmed, the story has circulated for years as a classic tale of petty revenge.

It's real:

It's Canada, but real or not that kid is in big trouble if the laws are anything like the states. That's a huge no no here in the states, especially ones with snow (obviously). The driver would have never hit the snowman without it being on a hydrant. Doesn't make the driver not at fault, but the kid would get fined probably around $10-20k for a stunt like that. Probably split with the drivers insurance.

Most municipalities with good amounts of snow can and will fine you for not clearing off snow around a hydrant in your utility easement. Again don't know Canada laws, but I'd be chewing the kid out if it was mine. That wasn't cleaver. So your snowman gets knocked down, who gives a shit. Would be real funny their house starts on fire and the department can't reach a hydrant. Good one kid....

Grok analyzed the video.

However, I can't find any news reports on this. Just TikTok and Instagram, etc.

So it could be fake. Just not AI fake.

Interesting... I got that from Brave AI so maybe it was wrong. I still think it's an AI video though. Nobody said there was, I was just getting that from the video and the microphone the reporter was holding. That's a SF bay area station unless they use the same circle 7 logo.
403   Maga_Chaos_Monkey   2026 Jan 24, 6:46pm  

Well how about that, they DO have/had a circle 7 logo:

Winnipeg's Channel 7.1, operates under the CTV Winnipeg branding. The station uses the CTV Television Network's current logo, which was introduced in 2018 and features a flat, digital-style design with brighter colors and refined letter shapes. While the station historically used variations of the Circle 7 logo (especially during its CKY-TV era), it now aligns with the national CTV branding. The logo is prominently displayed in CTV News Winnipeg newscasts and on-air promotions.
404   Maga_Chaos_Monkey   2026 Jan 24, 6:53pm  

I can't seem to find an example. Looks like ABC channel 7 in the bay area. There is one in Florida that looks different. Not sure why the video would have an old logo when this apparently happened in Nov 2025.

Fakity fake fake fake haha.
