Thinking in Today's Canada: Have You Noticed Anything Strange?

Hi all. I'm from Canada, lived elsewhere, returned. And I noticed a lot of people around me are very... well... indoctrinated? People just spit out pre-programmed responses, and also have a confused sense of time... not just one person... several people.

I'll mention something from just 3 or 5 years ago and they will respond looking at me strange saying, what, like 25 years ago? I'm not even joking. One thing I even looked up after that convo and it was from 7 years ago, not 20+. Maybe there has been so much change so quickly in Canada recently and that's why people say that?

I also point out observations... honestly not to be mean... just observing... but when I departed from Canada a few years ago, at least in my city, there was almost no one from India living there. Now, I'm often the only non-Indian around in many parts... it's extremely different. It's probably impossible not to see someone from India if you leave your house now. But people will say to me, what? It's always been like this they say, and they get mad at me for noticing.

Something is just very strange with Canadians.... It honestly is messing with my head. It's like a mass gaslighting or something. It is unhealthy IMO.

Any thoughts?
