I mean, Vancouver has had a few actual riots. Mostly over hockey games and Axel Rose being a dickhead.

Wait there's an Axel Rose riot in Vancouver too? There's one in Montreal as well!
I have some questions, 1) Who is Axel Rose, 2) Why are we pissed at him and 3) Where the hell is the pitchfork guy??
Someone who's famous for quitting mid show because he's a big little winnie....
Someone famous for backing up a great guitarist.
Doooope!
Yeah, Axel delayed the show...while fans were in the venue, for multiple hours....then declined to perform. So burn the fucker down eh?
This would be funny but… We all just lived through tue Covid caravan circus…
And the mounties sporting the thin blue line patches…
Canadians, not so chill

Yeah, but those aren't "real Canadians"
/s, just in case...
Tough natives is redundant.
Québec Sexy girls, need a Quebec sexy boy.... (inbefore you downvoted me... This is indeed the same Patrick Cloutier as the infamous photo.)
TBF it really fucked him up, he regretted being part of this, did a bunch of cocaine got dishonorably discharges, ended up doing porn (the above clip), and later joined the Coast Guard (a civilian department) where he spends a lot of his time delivering supplies to isolated First Nations...

and I guess the Flu Truck Klan
Are you lost?
The post was a meme in the meme community. OP is saying "huurrr Canadians so polite". That's not a new trope.
I'm pretty sure the riots in Ottawa that needed to be broken up by the military, is still pretty fresh in everyone's mind, since it happened a few years ago during COVID. And yes, there's controversy about how much of a "riot" it actually was, and whether the force used was excessive or an over reach; but none of that is the point.
This is a joke sir.
This is a joke sir.

It would have been bigger if the other side were indigenous children.
You got downvoted, I guess people here forgot how the Mohawks were treated during the Oka crisis.
I'm sure we can dig up more examples than this one.
I mean, I won't, but we could.
Plenty. Here's a few others: Restigouche, Wet'suwet'en to name only two
You haven't seen our hockey "celebrations" then.
I swear to God Vancouver had the absolute most shit luck this playoffs. They were my west team 100%, but the hockey gods said nay. Fortunately, Canadians respect the hockey gods and will not riot.
You do realize Vancouver has rioted 2 out of 3 times after losing the cup on game 7?

What's all this fooos aboot?
Wow! That is savage! The sign doesn't even apologise for being a little upset. °o°
As an Albertan who frequently goes to protests against the UCP's constant Americanization of our province, this feels mad disrespectful.
Keep fighting the good fight!
Canadians being "nice" an internet myth I have unfortunately found. They are just americans in most macro sense. Their history is as much, if not more, bloody.
As a Canadian, I take offense to being compared to Americans.
Regardless of how true it might be.
How dare you.

The all caps! Has this person not even an iota of decorum‽
Clearly the world hasnt met a sour canucks fan whom will beat an old man just for standing in the wrong spot on the train. Canadians have a “0-100 and nothing between” policy about anger.

What's this a boot?
How conservative expect you to protest when you're the victim of a genocide (they will support violently suppressing you.)

This meme is older than my kids
I'm not sure how old your kids are, so this isn't very helpful.
I mean, they could have been born yesterday, in which case, almost everything is older than your kids.
I'm just saying. Maybe add some context? Like "this meme is older than my kids, and they're in college" or something like that.
They don't have kids. They made a comment detailing that they don't know how to take a shower.
The meme is still good.
Waving a sign like that in the states is illegal
It’s almost not worth thinkin’ about
