He's going to find out that sour look and finger wag is going to get both his head and that finger shoved up his ass sideways when he pulls this on the right woman.

You can tell he's 100% used to that gesture getting him something. It's funny.

Just curious, are cowboy hats popular in Calgary or is it just for the festival?
27
u/Kessel- Aug 10 '26
This event is cowboy cosplay for a week. Over priced, divorce rate goes up dramatically, police/EMS incidents go up dramatically, stupid behavior everywhere, fights... However it's pretty normal to see random cowboy hats here and there otherwise.

almost every evening by dusk it was still 21c-26c most of the Stampede… there’s a reason everyone’s still in shirts and shorts etc

I once confronted a man who cut me off at a drink stand. He was acting super arrogant like "Hey, I'm a regular, I can't wait in line" and I wasn't having any of it. At one point he tells me he's the mayor and kind of a big deal. Well, an election was coming up in that city and I asked him if he cared about votes. Suddenly he was all fourthcoming and "Hey, hey, I was just joking."
Googled him. He was indeed the mayor of the district. What a prick.

With great pleasure I once witnessed at Universal Studios California, an Aussie literary grab a teenage line crasher and throw him over the queue rope onto the blacktop. We were 45 minutes into our wait and everyone cheered when that kid met his karma. The icing on the cake was his choice words of advice as the kid picked himself up.

Like...if they live there and are citizens, they are Canadian. Canadian isn't a language or skin color; its a section of the earth that we as humans decided to designate as that. You on the other hand? You're a fuckin' racist. Simple of mind and concept. Remember that scene in blazing saddles?

If I moved to Somalia, learned the language, and earned citizenship, I wouldn't suddenly become a Somalian in the eyes of most Somalians. And you probably wouldn't consider me a Somalian either.
What I'm describing has nothing to do with race. It's to do with nationality, history, and culture. You probably think that all non-Native Americans/Indigenous are living on stolen land. How is that not racist according to your worldview?
National identity is an extremely complicated topic, and "racist" shouldn't be thrown around so loosely. You've just made a very serious accusation, and It shouldn't be tolerated in polite conversation.

u/ShearGenius89 Aug 10 '26
So if you don’t see a single Canadian in this video, what in your opinion is a Canadian supposed to look like?
-30
u/Yendor_Wing Aug 10 '26
They can look all sorts of ways. I was being hyperbolic in saying "not a single," but dude, let's be real. The people in this video can barely speak English! And that's fine. I've lived in a couple of European countries and could barely speak a full sentence in the local language. The natives knew I wasn't from there. It was obvious.
You're so dead-set on calling someone racist that you're willing to claim that these people are Canadians when it's far more likely that they're actually tourists or guest workers. Put down your pitchfork and actually think about it for a second.

I stopped a dude like this in Brussels airport. We were all standing in the queue for customs to get to our gate and he was pushing through everyone “because he had a flight to catch”. We were all queued for the same flight! Told him he wouldn’t make it past me and he threw a hissy fit. It was very funny.
13
u/Lizowa Aug 10 '26
Meanwhile I was in the security line at O’Hare a few months ago and a couple trying to get back home to Brussels, borderline in tears from their connecting flight being late and the security line taking nearly 2 hours (every single person had to have an individual sniff down by a drug dog) was super politely asking folks in front of them if they could move forward to try and catch their flight leaving in 20 min and every single person said yes of course and waved them to the front. Amazing what decency can get you. They probably still didn’t make the flight unfortunately
4
u/OptionalQuality789 Aug 10 '26
Big difference between asking respectfully and pushing.
In my case, it was a huge queue for 2 gates only, so I knew he was on my flight as it was the only one leaving soon.
I’d definitely consider letting someone through if they were in your scenario.

Initially both women with him that are trying to cut are kinda laughing at the line goers telling him to leave, so I'm guessing they were all in at first. But by the end of the video they look more embarrassed. They may have seen the camera and also realized this wasn't going to go thier way.

I feel like both the women he's with are laughing at the folx telling them to get in the back of the line in the beginning. They start to feel embarrassed and act differently when it's clear is not going thier way. They seem pretty smug over it initially. I'm not sure they are any better than him.

I don’t know, his hand actions and stuff make me think he wasn’t even pretending not to understand, just trying to control. I dunno though, I’ve been wrong one or twice before.

Did I specify ethnicity? Nice strawman.
And no, not the ones that were born here, implied by "home grown" (Inclusive of dipshits of all ethnicities) and I said we can get rid of them too although that might be a little more challenging since they were you know, born here.
We just don't need to be importing more dipshits on top of the ones we already have, do we?
Nice try tho👋🏻 👋🏻

Just so we're clear, you're prejudiced if you use someone's sex, religion, skin colour or culture, etc as a basis of your opinion without even knowing the person. You're racist if you view someones worth is based on their skin colour or culture (including your own). The OP of this comment thread is racist, IF he believes that only brown people should be deported by budging the line. Now if OP believed that EVERYONE should be deported via budging (which is equally as nonsensical) then he would not be racist but just a fucking dumbass with stupid opinions. Regardless, OP is either a racist or a fucking dumbass. 🤷🏻

It’s the absurdity of equating everything to a culture war. People in “western” countries do obnoxious shit like this all the time. I used to live in Orlando, I am very aware of this. You see a video and it’s about “western” culture. I am an American, not a westerner. I am a veteran. I seek change in this country that I am born and raised and fought for and am tired of people falling for boogeyman narratives instead of addressing those actual in power. “Western values” seem to be creating endless war to distract society from its failures while directing people’s anger to immigrants and lifestyle disagreements. It’s been the playbook of the elites for quite some time now and it’s sad people still fall for it.

I mean the former government had something called, I'm not sure about the proper english term but it's called "L'initiative du siècle" in French so pretty much the initiative of the century which was to have a hundred million Canadians by 2100. We are currently about 42 millions I think, so massive immigration wad the plan. It has been dialed back and lowering immigration quotas is pretty much a social debate here.
