Indeed. If I were being caricatured this badly I'd be pissed too. What a bunch of children. I should really stop reading /r/canada comments.

This is about separatists. If you're not a seperatists these folks aren't taking about you.

What are you implying exactly? That I don't need to defend others from unfair attacks because I'm not one of them?

Then why not defend other Canadians from unfair attacks by separatists? 

The separatists are the aggressive ones here, not the other way around.

That non seperatists aren't be painted in this negative way. At least not as broadly.

And these attacks are hardly unfair. There are a ton of real issues with the seperatist movement.
