One of the best articles I've read this year. Seriously the stats on Canada are atrocious.

I found this article at the bottom of the article you posted - How a small town Canadian museum became a shrine to Justin Bieber https://theoutline.com/post/8661/justin-bieber-museum-steps-to-stardom-stratford-perth-changes?utm_source=post_footer

I think what was said there about the formation of Canada is true of most power structures that exert control over some enormous aspect of the world or human society, whether it be countries or enormous banks and corporations even.
They exist for the benefit of some, and other people get crushed by them.
I don't see how his 'Canada is fake' thing is very helpful at all though. He doesn't really resolve it. Canada is just fake. I don't know what to do with that. I sure don't feel compelled to cancel the country.
I think he's saying it's fake because it wasn't formed by an agreement of everyone that lived there, but rather for the convenience of big economic players of the time. And they called it a country.
The conquest of the Americas began as a way for European powers to further their empires, violently. The natives were destroyed and their lands were conquered. It's hundreds of years later now and taking some approach that the whole thing is fake is just useless.
Canada is a plutocracy. If the country if feeling fake to you, it's probably got a lot to do with that. The remedy is real democracy, one with informed citizens, publicly financed elections, an unbiased media, and out of a proper national discourse, free from the manipulative influence of special interests, the natural expression of the nation will occur, and I think it would feel a whole lot more real.
The author is talking about domination. That's always the problem in human society.
The current anti-democratic, plutocratic powers that be are broadcasting a fake consensus of what society should be. They dominate the public discourse now and achieve dominance by controlling opinion. Then their usurious, or otherwise exploitative villainy can go on unchallenged.
The alternative is a just society, but that doesn't include the outrageous social positions occupied by plutocrats where political power is measured in dollars. You wouldn't have that in a true democracy.

Based on the author of the article, which countries would not be fake? It seems to me that the author calls Canada fake based on his own arbitrary criterion without considering that most countries in the world have the same flaws.

Big respect to the Wet’suwet’en. It's unfortunate that some people see pristine wild land as wasted resources. And even more unfortunate those people have the money and influence to convince the world they are right and almost always get their way.
Thankful to have so much public land in Cali.

Canada is particularly fake because of how out of sync it's international perception is with the economic and civil axioms the country actually operating on.
I remember when traveling through Europe 20 years ago and seeing so many backpackers with Canadian patches on their bags. Most of the time I sparked up a conversation they were actually Americans pretending to be Canadian because they thought this would bring them more solidarity with Europeans. Maybe this is the case ostensibly but if you drill down into the machinations of Canada are far worse than the US.
Everyone knows the US is a horrible place for it's citizens. Canada has used the "Not US or Mexico" North American country to their own peril.

Magic mushrooms may be sold as either dried whole mushrooms or as a powder. People may choose to take the mushrooms as: eaten raw or cooked drunk as a tea or as a mixture with a fruit juice sniffed up the nose (snorted) when in a powder
Snort mushrooms?
Lol well, you CAN snort them🤷🏻♂️.
At least they got the important stuff right (almost):
Quote:
There is little evidence that people can become physically or psychologically dependent on magic mushrooms.
However, it is possible to become tolerant to the drug's effects with regular use. This may occur over several days of continued use. In this state, even high amounts of the drug will no longer produce the desired effect.
