Don't dodge the question.

No there was one, literally one comment chain.

The rest is mostly Americans screaming about Canada to make themselves feel better about themselves.

This seems to be the only comment chain that actually explains it, the rest of this post is mostly Americans bringing up every crime and misdeed that Canada has ever participated in or even is connected to.

Sorry you got downvoted for bringing up the point of the original post, which was the title and linked image, everyone else on their hate parade and is too busy.

Compared to the US which is loudly doing bad things constantly.

Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.

Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?

What is your motive here, exactly?

This looks like the meth-head's shed full of stolen bicycles you find in every bad neighbourhood.

Kobold Loon, sounds fun.

I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are "Canada bad!" posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.

Also don't forget the good old Shotgun / Trenchgun, which was seen as an unfair weapon in trench warfare as there was no answer to it in close range and tight corridors.

Germany literally banned the use of them, Germany.

What does that have to do with the Geneva conventions?

I used to always play Imperial in online games, because let's be real they do have the cooler aesthetic, until I ran into people that liked the Empire for different and much worse reasons.

Needless to say I pick Rebel/Republic now, my character might not look as cool but at least I won't accidentally find myself on the same team as literal Nazi fans.

I'm a fan of both, and significantly more of a Star Wars fan if I'm to be honest...

...definitely the Star Trek shirt, the Star Wars fandom can't even agree on which trilogies are good or bad (and this subject often leads to vicious arguments), and I have seen some really vile political trolls insinuate themselves into the fanbase.

Meanwhile most Star Trek arguments I've had online tend to end with someone presenting proof and everyone agreeing on it, or saying things like "I don't agree, but that's a fair point" in the rare case it can't be resolved.
