BC_chick Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Posted October 19, 2015 Hahaha. Patrick Brazeau endorsed Trudeau on Twitter. senatorbrazeau @JustinTrudeau beat the shit out of me but I'm still voting for him. If I can, every other Canadian should! #cdnpoli #elxn42 #lpc #ndp #cpc 2015-10-19, 1:14 AM Wow. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history.

marcus Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 John Oliver didn't endorse anyone specific: Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.

Canada_First Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 And maybe the international press will stop asking when Canada became so racist.Canada has tons of racists once you leave the politically correct utopias of Montreal Vancouver and Toronto. The cities are turning into mostly non white while the whites leave to the suburbs and beyond. The suburbs are getting bigger because non whites have now started taking over the traditional suburbs so whites that work in Toronto and the gta are starting to flee to places like Alliston Barrie etc. Of course it's due to race. To think otherwise seems naive to me. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 John Oliver didn't endorse anyone specific: Looks like Sarah Silverman also broke Canadian election law...I think she can afford the $5,000 CAD fine. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sarah-silverman-endorses-tom-mulcair-and-ndp-candidate-in-vancouver-1.3256425 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
ReeferMadness Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Canada has tons of racists And won't it be great to finally have a PM who tells them they're wrong instead of pandering to them.

TimG Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 And won't it be great to finally have a PM who tells them they're wrong instead of pandering to them.Given Trudeau's comments on natives it is clear that he is happy to pander to racists as long as the racists in question have brown skin.

Come talk to me again when he talks about creating a hotline just to report something that panders to native stereotypes.

Can you give an example here? While I'm sure there are FNs who are anti-white (not entirely without reason, I suppose), I wasn't aware of Trudeau, or any of the Federal leaders pandering to natives who are racists. Quote

Bonam Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Still don't understand what racism is, eh? No, he understands clearly what racism is. You just happen to subscribe to a different definition which is pushed by a very flawed movement. Quote
GostHacked Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 No, he understands clearly what racism is. You just happen to subscribe to a different definition which is pushed by a very flawed movement. It' not like others are pandering to racists of another skin colour. Quote
dialamah Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Is Trudeau's racism the kind where white people think they're being short-changed because it looks like a non-white group is having the power imbalance somewhat redressed? Quote
Smallc Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Given Trudeau's comments on natives it is clear that he is happy to pander to racists as long as the racists in question have brown skin. I find it far more reasonable than Mulcair and the NDPs position. Quote

This goes way beyond redressing past wrongs and into the realm of gross racism which would be repellent to anyone if the people imposing these regimes were not brown skinned. Quote

The only bands I know that are doing that are Mohawks, and even within their community is highly controversial. I'm not defending it, but one particular FN playing this game cannot be construed as some sort of general policy. FNs are incredibly diverse, so I call your claim rubbish. Quote

Can you provide some cites, because odd as it seems, I'd rather see something a little less biased-sounding. Quote
TimG Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Ok, thanks. Can you provide some cites, because odd as it seems, I'd rather see something a little less biased-sounding.Look at the treatment of non-natives living on reserve land as it is. As a general rule non-natives are subject to taxes/rents levied by the band but are not entitled to vote for the band councils that set those rates. More onerous is the aboriginal groups see these levies as a revenue source as opposed to a way to collect the minimum amount of funds to provide services as is the norm for municipalities. Comparisons to apartheid or feudalism are not unreasonable here. Aboriginals are also very resistant to giving up the tax exemptions which are a clearly racist policy inherited from days when racism was the norm. Edited October 19, 2015 by TimG Quote
Smallc Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 He's not that much of a small "l" liberal in the modern sense, but he definitely is a Liberal Party of Canada partisan. He's such an LPC partisan that he's voting NDP. Quote
