Awkwardly un-Canadian

Retrograde politics. Wait I'll say it again retrograde politics. An article from the G&M called Enough of multiculturalism – bring on the melting pot. I am sorry but who missed the memo - re: Racism is bad for politics. Maybe that weird half and half to the south is the aberration but somehow I doubt it. American's are known for making history not otherwise. I guess Canadians can now be known for trying desperately to avoid the inevitable march of cultural globalization. Lucky us.

You are appealing to an increasingly smaller demographic when you start randomly requesting that people must start behaving as if they were white just like you just to satisfy some baseless fear that difference is somehow more difficult to manage than 'sameness' imposed from above.

I was so used to feeling like at some level Canada, even if it looked boring from the outside only looked that way because we had figured out all that thorny business of civil liberties, separation of state powers, support for the arts, etc.. The Conservatives aren't just winding back the clock, they are taking the country back to an era when people measured things in 'number of sleeps'! It's fucking embarrassing to be a person of intelligence in this country (who actually cares about this country) and watch the Conservatives take a club to all the carefully developed and historically sound principles that have built our nation.

Bah! Harper (and Kenney and all your evil minions) and all I have hated your white eyes for years now, but seriously if I met you on the streets I would probably involuntarily make the sign to ward off the evil eye and cross to the other side of the street. You are a mean piece of work buster.
