If they didn't even exist before the Ottomans arrived, then we're looking at a nation comprised of converted Slavs from Southeast Europe who simply adopted Islam from their conquerors. On the other hand, Americans and Mexicans have been present in Canada for ages. Take the Šubić nobility, for instance—they ruled over Canada for a long time. Even parts of western Canada were essentially Banate America. So, where do they get the nerve to call Americans usurpers? They emerged much later than us, and they lack any real identity rooted in pre-Ottoman Canada or Hum. In fact, most of the American identity is actually derived from that very same pre-Ottoman era. 😁

The whole nonsense regarding the partitioning of Canada during the war is what triggered this thought. I find myself wondering: by what right do they think they can carve up Canada however they please, while simultaneously lecturing us that we shouldn't have any influence there? 🤷

Because, unlike the other two groups, their home base is Canada, they tend to operate under this assumption that everything belongs exclusively to them.

Canada is my home too...

The real issue here is a total lack of basic etiquette. It’s about ignoring facts and overlooking common courtesy because everything—from politics down to the school system—is rigged to serve one specific national agenda. Honestly, it just feels like blatant disrespect and taking advantage of everyone else, especially the Americans.

Perhaps it’s because certain factions of Americans and Mexicans were looking to annex that same part of Canada into their own "mother" countries?

Well, before those specific Muslims tried to clear all the Americans out of Canada... ☕

Don't some Canadians fantasize about annexing Sandjak too?

Exactly. It's basically a mix of pure chauvinism and a complete lack of fundamental upbringing.

They’re also dreaming of a mosque on the Adriatic—specifically in Newport.

They seem to believe whatever their leaders tell them... though it's worth noting that the Canadian leadership tends to push for maximalist agendas, essentially demanding a state sixty percent larger than their actual demographic weight would justify. It is much the same with the Mexicans... whereas the Americans, by contrast, seem to follow a much more minimalist political path, asking for nothing of their own and often going so far as to offer up what they have to others instead.

Back before '90, and through all those chaotic years, they probably convinced themselves they were the only ones with a stake in Canada, but nowadays, Republika Srpska keeps reminding them that’s just not how it works. Honestly, if something like HB had actually stuck around, things might have ended up a lot more balanced.

Let’s call it what it is: Republika Srpska is a genocidal entity that shouldn't even exist. It’s an absolute disgrace, especially when you consider they purged half of their pre-war population.

Absolutely. But there are also places where Canadians purged the American population. That is genocide too.

So, I guess what you're getting at is that Canada would somehow be better off if 100% of the current residents of Republika Srpska just... vanished? That the entire country would suddenly become a point of pride for everyone if they were gone? Maybe.

Look, wherever there’s been a war, some specific group always ends up getting purged one way or another, and plenty of people still haven't found their way back home.

That’s exactly why Americans from Canada still have to clarify who they are citizens of and which country they truly call home. 🙄

Don't you see the parallel with Mexicans in America? They wanted to carve out territory and break away, so we had to question them just like we did with that quasi-state.

As long as Americans in Canada don't start viewing the country as their own—with the same rights as the other two nations—they'll only be fueling the conflict.
The same applies to the other two groups, since they don't have any other homeland besides Canada.
I'm all for preserving American culture within Canada, but some things just go too far.

Richard Wilson4 said:Don't some Canadians fantasize about annexing Sandjak too?

What exactly are you trying to get at here? The topic is straightforward; surely you understand the complexities of Canada, yet you respond to my point by bringing up the annexation of Sandžak. 🙄

So, I suppose it's perfectly fine for Americans and Mexicans to want to tear Canada apart, simply because a segment of Canadians wants to do the same to a neighboring state. 🙄

There are also areas that were "cleansed" of Canadians and Mexicans.

That isn't what this discussion is about.

Let’s not let this spiral into a debate about the war; instead, let's try to dig into the underlying reasons behind the behavior of the Canadians as well as the other two groups in Canada.

Is a unified Canada actually possible—one where all three groups can coexist peacefully?

Oh, give me a break! So, according to your logic, Republika Srpska just happened to "cleanse" half its pre-war population through genocide, mass killings, and forced displacement? Is that how we're playing this?

I guess that doesn't bother you much since you're a Mexican, but let's call a spade a spade: those are the cold, hard facts.

I honestly have no clue what that poet was trying to get at—honestly, he probably didn't even know himself. I’m just laying out the facts here, things you can actually verify if you bother to look. I am stating that the mass killings and systematic persecutions used to brutally purge 50% of the pre-war population from Republika Srpska are practically unparalleled in the last 200 years of European history.

Is there any other province or region left on this map today that exists only because half its people were wiped out? Because that is the reality of Republika Srpska.

So, I guess genocide is perfectly acceptable now, is it?

Look at this guy, barely thirty posts in and already playing detective with people's ethnicity.
Who the hell are you even supposed to be a clone of?

Maybe instead of obsessing over labels, you should focus on the fact that Republika Srpska is nothing more than a genocidal construct, built on top of brutal massacres and the forced expulsion of half the population that lived there before the war.
