This is such bad advice from these so-called financial experts.

BEER! Yes, craft beer culture is becoming obnoxious. But it’s a price I gladly pay to not be limited to drinking only 1 style of beer (American pilsner) made by Budweiser, Miller or Coors.
Remember the plot of Smokey and the Bandit was centered around smuggling Coors from the west. That’s how dark and dumb the Boomer…
Canada’s history with indigenous people, the cops unwillingness to help, and their history of ‘starlight tour’ driving makes me think a good amount of these are murders by police.
No one gives a shit about indigenous people. Ever. At all. The fact that they wont disappear despite everything we do to wipe them out (like the subhumans they are?) SUCH A BUMMER.
I live right near Highway 16. I was just discussing this with my uncle over Christmas. He’d recently met with our PM, who then used one of my uncle’s eloquent remarks regarding First Nations during an interview. Most parties are usually only interested in First Nations issues when convenient. Highway 16 needs so much…
Same problem in Australia, with the specific problem that missing persons cases often get explained away as the person having gone “Walkabout”, a traditional journey for Aboriginal boys in some parts of Australia, generally the Outback. One particularly egregious example is the Bowraville murders of 1990-91 (there’s a…
I found this link through the NYT story — just, wow. There are so many missing and murdered women.
It is appalling how long it has taken to get any attention on this issue. The disappearance of Aboriginal Women and girls in our country has been routinely swept under the rug. One reason why that shitbag Robert Pickton got away with being a psychopathic murderer of women undetected for so many years. The scary thing…
I first heard about the Highway of Tears in the early 90s, pre-internet, from my Lefty friends who spread the word via zines/etc. It’s insane and unbelievable that we’ve taken this long, as a country, to officially acknowledge it.
A United Nations report last year described measures by the previous government to protect aboriginal women from harm as “inadequate”
This seriously makes me so disappointed as a Canadian. I first heard about it a few months ago, but I thought that the deaths/disappearances ended in 2011 — thanks, Wikipedia.
I wish I could pretend that this is just a weird blip, but it’s not. The systemic racism towards indigenous people in Canada is so very entrenched. Beyond even the horrifying cases of women, missing indigenous kids frequently don’t even warrant an Amber alert. People living on reserves go without proper resources or…
WTF Canada?!? I thought you were all about good manners and fries with cheesy gravy. Don’t be mass-murdering. Don’t be ignoring mass-murder when it involves a minority. Not cool Canada. Very not cool.
