Even if no one can see it or find it or point to it or give evidence of it. But then, when you turn antiracism into a religion, all that's needed is faith. And for those who lack that faith, punishment awaits, barred from their jobs and banished from society by order of the holy bishops of the Far Left. Yes, the holy bishop Freeland has issued a decree and all must pay heed. SYSTEMIC RACISM exists in every part of the government of Canada. There are to be no disagreements. All must bend the knee and apologize for their white privilege while promising to weed out this mysterious and unfathomable (and unfindable) enemy called 'systemic racism'. “It is very important for all federal government institutions, including the police, to operate from an understanding that systemic racism is a problem for us here in Canada – to not be complacent about that – and we have to work together against it,” she said. “We know that a really big challenge for our government and for all of us is, first of all, of course, to acknowledge that this systemic racism exists and to take concrete action to work against it and, ultimately, to dismantle it,” Freeland said. Freeland could not, of course, point to any of this 'systemic racism' or give evidence of it. But then, those who have FAITH need no evidence, and all those who have not the proper faith will be punished, removed from their positions in government, and banished from society. And it isn't like the loyal faithful of the media would ever ask rude questions like "How come the government you people have been running for five years is so racist?" or "Where is this systemic racism anyway?" That's not the kind of question loyal acolytes would ever pose to their bishop. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-freeland-says-police-must-acknowledge-racism-after-senior-rcmp-officer-2/#comments

Cracking down on interference by China on the Canadian Chinese immigrant community..did you mean all Chinese Canadians or just Chinese immigrants? I think myself you meant all Chinese Canadians and believe the two concepts are interchangeable. That said I think your assumption you can crack down on Chinese interference is interesting. Do you want political police? Do you want internet surveilled? Do you want Chinese people followed? Do you give any thought any more to what you write?

"Employment equity" (and Employment Equity Act for federal hiring) is the context term for Canada, which specifically rejected the American term "affirmative action" because of the existing baggage associated with such language (1980's). Either way, the practice is discriminatory.

First off, I don't believe you're Canadian because I don't know any Canadians who "hate being Canadian". For the past few years since I started taking the bait and responding to posts on this site I've seen the fakes come and go. Be grateful that you live in this country (if your claim is true), because if you didn't live here you'd have to live somewhere else. I haven't run across many countries that come close in wealth and freedom. Trudeau may be soft, but he's not a complete dick. We could do worse. Whatever it is that you think is so admirable about Trump is out of line with prevailing opinion right now. It's fine to critique the left and limits to free speech, but I don't see people here reacting to Trudeau as they are doing to your crush:

Since when did the liberals need evidence to do anything, and when they don't have it they just make stuff up, Gun Ban anyone, SNC scandal anyone, the list goes on and on....and liberals throughout the country don't care about being lied to, misinformed, ok it's all plain bullshit, but they buy into it every time, and when they do see it's bullshit, well it's leftist bullshit, and it tastes good.... ...how many times does this PM have to bend them over for them to take notice, and they still follow him around like a false god....because all liberals are the same.

What can I say, I accept my humanity, I am flawed, nothing wrong to set up goals like Non-partisan however I do have my moments when I see communists or people that love the USA more than this beautiful place that is Canada. This country with its flaws, is a dream come true, some of you don't realize it because you take it for granted. You need a trip to some places in the world and then when you will come back you will start kissing the ground.

I would have OW preferred the government err on the side of caution than unnecessary exposure to the virus. Sure they did not know what they were doing. Yah they made a lot of mistakes and maybe they continue to. Hopefully we learn from this. Hopefully what they should have done after SARS and did not they will now do, i.e., have early testing and warning protocol in place but this will require some kind of surveillance and people like me and my kind have been on this forum cautioning about infringement of civil liberties with surveillance so balancing health prevention with fundamental privacy issues man that won't be easy will it. Also I hate to say this but some people do not unless you err on the side of caution get what being smart is about when it comes to not spreading viruses. I mean OW we have been spending how many years teaching people to wash their hands and not spit? Look I agree with you, there may very well have been over-kill or over-management, and I am the first to agree with you on that, but I ease up on government or anyone erring on the side of caution when it comes to life. Its the moral thing to do and Boges is right, you were damned if you did or did not do in this situation. For me if I do not want to be surveilled I will have to be prepared to take the vaccine if it ever is made. I won't be able to have it both ways. I am no better than my dogs. They get certificates for vaccines for rabies and distemper, etc., so can I. In fact I would prefer if the vaccine for covid 19 is given to me by a vet. I need to be on a leash.

Boges - you need to follow the logic to its racist conclusion: it may not be THEIR fault but because it's the fault of ALL BLACKS that they are more violent, it is their fault ... bascially because they are black. I know this logic from 9/11 and the assertion that Muslims need to convert from their religion because 9/11 happened. Whites and their mass shootings, holocausts, genocides and serial killings have other reasons for being violent, which can and should be excused.

Show me why the below is factually incorrect or just admit it and move on: https://www.unz.com/article/the-manufactured-crisis-of-police-racism/

I don’t love Trump. I’m honest about Trump. I’ll give the devil his due any day of the week. If Trudeau did something well I’d give him credit for it. He gets a zero. He can’t just be a man about anything, or a good leader. I feel sad for Canada, and for the stupid people who have no clue how far over our head we’re getting with this idiot, his debt, his blatant lack of understanding about the economy, his crimes, and his treason. I don’t think Trump cares about Canada, it’s not his job, but a strong America benefits Canada more greatly than any other thing on earth.

I doubt that anyone from outside of Canada would have reason to loathe Trudeau as much as I do. You have to have skin in the game to really care. The USA, most of Europe, Costa Rica. That's a lot. He's a posturing, pontificating, hypocritical idiot and a serious sleazebag criminal with treasonous tendencies. Stupid Canadians are convinced that Trump is thoroughly guilty, yet he's been thoroughly investigated without a hint of evidence appearing. Trudeau has blocked investigations into his crime and Canadians don't care. I hate stupid people. Hypocrites. Criminals. Traitors. Trudeau pushes all my buttons. Wrong. It's out of line with the prevailing opinion of sheeple who are too god-damned stupid to notice CBC, CTV and Global actually lying to them. Are you kidding me that you don't know anyone who gets sick when they see the turd talking? I call BS. I know dozens.

It made sense if you were preparing for an overwhelming of the Healthcare system. Even if X Healthcare service wasn't near any place where COVID was being treated, having people congregate in waiting rooms and in close contact may contribute to the spread of the disease. Do you know that for certain? Out of all healthcare services I can imagine, Mental health is one thing that can certainly be done virtually. Family doctors have moved that way. How do you think it's being misinterpreted? I think focusing on actual positive cases isn't what should be focused on, but it's always the top line item. Articles bury the Hospitalization figures but that's what is most important when gauging the severity of the outbreak. What would you have political leaders do? It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. If you don't trust the numbers, then how can you accurately evaluate how governments have reacted?

It's a bizarre position to take. There is plenty of evidence, but you need to ask for it specifically. This discussion is not about that. t's about the way they handled the virus. No massacre in Sweden, we can agree to that. And despite their economic problems, they kept their business open as much as they could. Regardless of politics, the results speak for themselves. Looks like Sweden wins the Covid cup.

That's fine, but when people of faith also embrace him, it's a level of hypocrisy that can't be imagined. I actually don't think Americans, by and large, support him. At least 55-60% outright hate him. His base is that 30%. And I'm sure large swath of them would support any Republican, but I think you're right. His attitude appeals to many people. And they've fallen for his Grift. His entire life has been about conning people (Steaks, Universities, Hotels, Casinos). So it's no surprise that he's conning Poor, uneducated white people into thinking he's going to fight for them. What's depressing about the Election is that the votes of most of the country won't matter. It'll come down to maybe a million people in 5 states. And they'll decide who wins the election.

Develop a sense of humor because you spend most of your time peeing or forgetting to pee.

Thank you for clarifying these vital issues.

So you were just knowledgeably replying to something you knew nothing about then? Sure that makes sense.

That's the thing about gross generalizations and stereotypes...the wypipo are the biggest customers...on both ends of the deal.

That's like asking why do wypipo, "as a group", trust black people far less. What could it be ?

She needs to release a video of herself wearing blackface when she was in her 20s now if she wants to get back to feeling morally superior to everyone again. Or grope a young reporter.

This whole, I'm pissed and now I'm going to take some action is just an excuse to vent....., "people are tired of getting fucked over, so hey take to the streets for the riot and perhaps we can smash shit up, maybe do some looting"....and the sad part about it all is.... most of the damage is being done to private citizens stuff, you know the guy that has to pay his taxes as well, the same guy thats getting pissed as well, only now he has got arseholes causing him more grief….very little is being down to government stuff, like the government even cares they just get new stuff with the money you gave them, and if they need more they take more of your money..........lots of thought going into these protests....The only way to get heard is through peaceful protests, block Justins house, nobody in nobody out, except the pizza guy...........nothing ever gets done when their is a riot and people are getting killed....

They commit a helluva lot more crime? https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/analysis_and_planning/year-end-2019-enforcement-report.pdf

I would love a service where I could call and get someone to come right away if someone was breaking into my house. As it is, I pay hundreds in property tax that goes to a service that doesn't come when I need it.

Black Americans are not a monolithic block, and their varying views are certainly are not represented by woke wypipo.

The problem with Canada today is with french lieberal socialist Quebec. The french have been trying for decades to try and destroy this once great country, and they pretty much have succeeded. They have done so much harm and damage to this once great nation. With all of their useless and stupid programs and agendas like bilingualism, multiculturalism, hundreds of billions of our tax dollars blown and given away to 3rd world countries and their dictators, and flooding this country with as many immigrants that they can from the 3rd world, and has probably cost the rest of Canada trillions of their tax dollars. I am pretty much done with this country also. The country that I grew up in has pretty much now gone to the garbage dump. The leftist french pretty much own and run Ottawa. Most of our PM's in Canada have come from french Quebec. Canada will never see it's full potential as long as french Quebec has and keeps control of the economy and the growth of Canada. Quebec has always been a thorn in the rest of Canada's side. They must go now to save Canada from leftist lieberal socialism and communism, otherwise things will just get worse. It is the English speaking people in Canada, and the french controlled Ottawa that keeps Quebec from becoming another Maritime province like New Brunswick. Comrade old man and kid Trudeau have both pretty much economically destroyed Canada and Alberta today. Canada should be one of the richest countries on earth. Sadly, it is bankrupt thanks to Quebec. Alberta should be one of the wealthiest provinces in Canada, but sadly they to they are fast becoming a have not province, thanks to french controlled Ottawa and Quebec. Albertan's need to wake the hell up very soon, and separate as fast as they can from Quebec. And they must also get rid of their leftist lieberal, and their NDP socialist/communist politicians who have not helped in anyway for Alberta to see it's full potential. As long as liberalism and socialism politicians are allowed to run amok, and are allowed to ruin, and rule this Canada, the Canadian train is headed for a big derailment very soon now. Aw well, what more can be said except to feel very sad for what was once a great British/European country that is now in the hands of a bunch of french leftist liberals and socialists, both together is a recipe for disaster.

Is this sorta what you mean by a sound bite Rue?

This!

I was not talking about here, I don't care what people say here, nobody's reputation gets tarnished. On the contrary I think is great through an anonymous board people can say what is on their mind. I am talking about a real life scenario where just an accusation can affect your reputation that you worked hard for.
