GreenBeard comments on Carney says Alberta 'chose unity' as CBC News projects province voted to stay in Canada

If you're referring to BC, things get... rougher... the deeper you get into the interior. Saskatchewan literally has people who think it's OK to gun down indigenous people who come into their farm yard, and do we really want to open the can of worms that is Manitoba? Are you going to tell me you've never heard the term "Hong-couver" before? BC conservatives are fighting to repeal indigenous property rights in the province as we speak. I stand by my statement.

The only province with a first nations premier?

The more rural you get in any province the worse the attitudes get. That's something we can agree on.

Yeah, and the US had a black president once too. How many protests have there been over hydro dams destroying indigenous sites and villages? How many fights over police brutality. Wasn't Winnipeg where they literally had to go to court to get them to search the dump for some poor woman that got murdered while indigenous? Please. I may be 100% Western European, but I'm not that kind of "White" where we all pretend one election ends racism.

There's a lot of people who still believe that race is biological. It's not, there's nothing about your physical appearance that determines anything but how fast you sunburn. "Race" is about how people who believe in biological race treat you. And like I said, there's a lot more racism in the west than anyone should be comfortable with. Probably more in the east too, but I won't speak for them.
