Why are ya'll letting them shut your poo poo down like that?

Does Canada have a history with police brutality against black people that I missed or something?

Though I do like the irony of them doing this in a multicultural city like Toronto

BLM people have a reputation for calling Black Canadians Uncle Toms, when they themselves are 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants. Canadians who are actually descended from slaves and faced actual discrimination for most of our history live in Halifax, Truro, Fredericton not Toronto.

Natives here are treated like American Blacks, but these clowns interrupted a Native dance to mention Indigenous people maybe once or twice.

Canada should have ALM/NLM since they were still sending aboriginal/native children to special schools that were a big on torture and rape and light on education in the 90s (1990s, not 1890s).

I fully agree. I grew up Black in a town that was 97.5% White on the census, and then went on the join the Army and I still never got treated nearly as bad as Natives in either of those places.

in the us, black lives matter people and white guilt liberals are pushing for new types of segregation in a "separate but equal" fashion, so we've come full circle

For our American friends, the province they did this in has a lesbian Premier and had a Black Lieutenant Governor, Canada just had a Black Woman Governor General.

Some guy on the media of socials told me my history was wrong when I brought up Aboriginals and their more recent and ongoing struggles here. I'm a racist for it, I guess.

He was listed as a social justice activist.

I think it's the modern version of going through a phase for attention or to rebel. Instead of going goth or bi, kids today join BLM or pretend to be Muslim. The smart thing to do is just ignore them and they'll grow out of it in a few years when they see that no one cares.

LadyAmbien doesn't know what the gently caress she's talking about. Canada is no more "chill" than the US. The racists are just as racist, sovereign citizens are in full force in Alberta and Ontario, and Quebec is a steaming pile of corruption and poo poo(seriously, Quebec loving sucks and needs to be broken up into smaller provinces with a lot of oversight)

1. give money
2. gently caress the po-leese
3. check back in six months for more demands (probably money)

The maritimes aren't inherently bad, they are a money pit due in part to the fishing restrictions and the government allowing fisheries to export fish to China to be processed, rather than processing them in province.

Number 8 being gently caress THA POLICE is pretty funny, but all the other ones are asking for money.

e: Isn't it a good thing, so far as disability activism, that there were any ASL translators in the first place? Are Black translators that want to appear in Pride going to appear from the ether?

deep poo poo is relative when you are the one responsible for investigating underage sex trafficking sex rings, though
