I don't want to mention any names and locations, but are you aware what your government is cooking up for you?
Are you aware that whole swaths of land and complete rivers you fish are being transferred to first nations without any consultation?
BC government is fixing to eliminate 50 percent of your fishing access.
Do some research. I don't want to turn your favourite river into what social media has done to the Chilliwack.
Google it.

[SuperBobby]

You are absolutely correct.... but you don't go far enough. This goes way beyond access to fishing.
The majority of the general public is clueless to what our lives are about to look like in the next 5-10 years.

Too many indoctrinated people with their heads in the sand.
The Canada that I grew up in is gone and it's never coming back.

[Dave]

I'm curious Bob .. what's your vision of Canada in the next 5-10 years?

[SuperBobby]

Complete dictatorship and tyrannical rule in a dystopian society that will drive men to utter despair.

The Canada that I grew up in is gone and it's never coming back.

that is certainly true. Some folks adjust to it and get on with their lives. Others not so much.

BTW if you don't like what you think is going to happen do your best to vote for another government. The Provincial Conservative Party is opposed to this reconciliation stuff. However their current leader doesn't seem to know how to find his own dick in his pants and the Provincial Liberals stampeded over a cliff before the last election.

[SuperBobby]

Adjust to what? A country that is unarguably 10 fold worse than it used to be? Why would anyone want to adjust to that?
Of course you boomers don't care, because the majority of your years were lived during Canada's very best.
Your reply is proof of a saying that I hear more and more these days.

"The boomers are the generation that were given everything, but in return are the most selfish generation in recent times"

As a Gen X, I was fortunate to get into the housing market while single family homes were still cheap. I'm doing quite well, but not everyone my age and especially younger is....It's obvious you have no idea what it is like to raise a family when you are either buying or renting a family home. A decent family home starts at $800k now. You've never had to live like that.
Your reply is ignorant.

Told you before Bob, check your stash for mould.

[RalphH]

I guess women and trans-people will be better off than that.

[RalphH]

Gee Bobby I can't help but wonder what your response would have been if I hadn't agreed with you?

Some things are worse that 50+ years ago and some are better. If life had stayed exactly the same as it was in the 60s and 70s I may not be alive today. People then didn't live as long and died from conditions and diseases that are treatable or even curable today.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

[SuperBobby]

Why doesn't it surprise me that you don't understand or recognize masculine conversation....sigh....

It's true what they say. The vast majority of boomers are unteachable. Your selfishness, rigidness and immovability to look beyond your own self is beyond evident.

BTW if you don't like what you think is going to happen do your best to vote for another government. The Provincial Conservative Party is opposed to this reconciliation stuff. However their current leader doesn't seem to know how to find his own dick in his pants and the Provincial Liberals stampeded over a cliff before the last election.

Perhaps if you checked the demographics of the most recent Canadian election, you would see that "Elections Canada" produced statistics that show the boomers were the only generation to vote liberal. It has been completely conceded to that the conservatives would have a majority government if the boomers stayed home on election day. Or at the very least.... all the boomers had to do was put down their "The Province" newspaper, stop listening to CBC, Global, CNN , etc....about how the lie that Pierre Poilievre was in cahoots with Trump. Again....most boomers are indoctrinated and so gullible. Trump was trolling Canadians....he knows how gullible the boomers in Canada are....the media ran with it, and the boomers bought it hook line and sinker.

Wait till you have to pay a toll to get to the Chilliwack or Chehalis river or your favourite park because FN slept under a tree that was once there.  Bend over everybody.

[RalphH]

Bobby I wasn't talking about the Federal Liberals.

Masculine huh? More like childish.

[RalphH]

many of us can bend over even at our age. How about you?

[SuperBobby]

Bobby I wasn't talking about the Federal Liberals.

I was.....and that same sort of thing filters into the provincial and even municipal elections.....the stats will prove it.

So what. Boomers don't have a right to vote? 

BTW your statement that:

is absolutely false Elections Canada does produce or issue such statistics. As of yet Elections Canada has not produced any demographic data on the 2025 Federal election. It is also ridiculous to suggest that only boomers voted Liberal is moronic. I am a bommer and did not vote Liberal. I know many other people who are boomers who at least told me they didn't vote liberal.  Exit polls by Ipsos suggest that a majority (55 to 60%) of Canadians  over 55 thought that the Mark Carney and the Liberals were best able to deal with Trump's tariff proposals while of those 34 and under 42% saw the Conservatives as the best choice to deal with  affordability and the cost of living.That's not even a majority. For people 34 to 54 or so by omission  don't seem to fall one way or the other. I am sure that you can do the math to see no age cohort appeared to completely favor, one party or the other.

This discussion was obviously intended as troll bait which you often eat with joy.

FWIW all federal elections ballots are private. Information about individuals voting patterns are not made available. Ballots are counted on election night or as required by recounts. Once those are complete they are stored for 10 years as mandated  by the Librarian and Archivist of Canada. They can only be retrieved by Judicial order. After 10 years they are destroyed.
