I guess cracking open a history book would be way too much to ask of these ppl.

Those people need to watch The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

I don’t know what the stats are in your neck of the woods, but in Canada, 60% of Natives live OFF reserve. They live in big urban populations, just like everybody else. Integration isn’t the problem, it’s superior and colonialist attitudes of white Canadians.

Does Spencer (and all the idiots like him) believe that if they got rid of all the POC, the remaining whites will magically get along with each other? European history is filled with whites murdering other whites. Just b/c you share one superficial trait with another human being doesn’t mean you’re going to be BFFs.

“Are whites preying upon native women b/c they feel they won’t get caught?”

Hey you should read about Senator Lynn Beyak who thinks that residential schools weren’t entirely bad.

I was listening to this CBC radio show where they mentioned that the hairs found in the duvet Tina Fontaine was wrapped in did NOT match Cormier. He is most definitely a creep but the evidence against him was very thin. I don’t see how the jury could come to any other verdict.

I wonder how Americans would feel if a bunch of Hindus came to their country protesting the eating of beef.

Addendum: litter isn’t as benign as some ppl think. Litter clogs up storm drains and harms wild life.

It’s so nice to hear that I’m not the only one that picks up litter!

That....is disturbing. Here in Canada, we’ve seen what happens when you take a non white kid (in our case it was Indigenous kids) strip them of their heritage and try to raise them “white.”

Well I wouldn’t call myself a good person, just someone that really, really hates litter!

If you have a top loading washer, do NOT over load it! I killed mine a while ago when I tried to wash a couple of heavy blankets. Something called a “coupling” cracked — it’s the thingy that’s attached to the motor and makes it spin. I would go to a laundromat and use one of their machines, although I don’t know what…

Have you thought of Chelsea boots? They’re like half the height of regular rainboots. The Bay has some nice ones for only $50 (Canadian).

This comment will probably get stuck in the greys, but I have to go on a rant about litter — people, pick up your damn garbage! There’s this particular ravine in my neighbourhood that’s always filled with trash, I suspect some jerk is purposefully kicking over a blue box. The trash stays there for WEEKS, even months…

Have you seen The 10th Kingdom? It’s a show with a similar premise to OUAT, father and daughter get stuck in a parallel world filled with fairy tale people. It aired around 2000.

Has anyone read Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, by Susan Cain? It’s a book about how extroverts have taken over society.

I would advise your friend to raise “Matthew” to be bilingual so he can have a connection to his Chinese relatives. Unfortunately, it sounds like his parents will raise him to be a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside). I am Asian but I don’t speak my parent’s language, they speak passable English but we…

I’ll be sure to check that out.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.
