Truth and reconciliation day should be a day off for everyone else while government workers need to work a 16 hour day to try and enact some meaningful policy for indigenous relations in this country.

A total of 76 per cent of respondents who identified as members of visible minority groups agreed there is systemic racism in the province.

And Quebec politicians say Quebec is not racist.

Trudeau at it again ... just do it and then apologize after. Afterall, people will vote for me regardless.

Reporter:'Anyone advised you against going to Tofino on Sept 30th?'

JT: Blah blah blah ... my party and I are committed to First Nations Reconciliation. Meaning - I'm the boss ... what can possibly go wrong?

Didn't think it was the worst decision to go on vacation on the 30th but JT is only sorry he got caught and called out.

whitev70r 10-06-2021 12:38 PM

It's not a huge deal for me and my opinion is not important. but many First nations individuals and chiefs calling him out. Their opinion is what matters.

JT took care of it:

Speaking of disrespect... I love it when people who don't support any of the letters of that acronym every other day of the week... suddenly use it as a way to spread their vitriol.

I believe you are referring to: holding people to their own standards.

The National Inquiry has chosen to use the term “2SLGBTQ” (representing Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queerand questioning people ), By
putting “2S” at the front, we are remembering that Two-Spirit people have existed in many Indigenous Nations and communities long before other understandings of gender and orientation came to us through colonization. This also puts TwoSpirit people right at the front of our conversations, rather than at the end.

Bets on how many more letters are added to the acronym before Justin’s reign of terror is over? 3? 4?

By the time it’s over the term marginalized individuals may have less letters

Back in September there was an attempt made:
Flubbed it so bad the 2S didn't even make it to the front of the acronym.

You do realize Justin didn't invent the LGBTQ acronym right?

So let me get this straight:
Justin using 2S in front of LGBTQ = PANDERING!!!
Justin not paying lip service to a brand new holiday = NOT PANDERING ENOUGH!!!

Aaron Gun is running for the leadership of the BC libs. I have only seen on of his videos. It was about high gas prices. The video was 100% wrong.

68style 10-12-2021 08:11 PM

Sorry but why is a guy who’s clearly conservative running for the Liberal party leadership? The fuck?

westopher 10-12-2021 08:26 PM

I don't have any idea why the BC liberals are even called that. They really are a Conservative party.

whitev70r 10-12-2021 09:00 PM

^ Precisely ... the BC Liberals are like Conservatives (think Christy Clark).
And the BC NDP is kinda like middle left ... Libs. It's really weird.

68style 10-12-2021 10:33 PM

So like… does he still call liberal minded people libtards or ?

Not federal related but this is a terrible change.

westopher 10-14-2021 04:58 PM

14/15 can still work with permission of parent or guardian, but I agree, terrible change. I loved my job when I was 14-17 working at the skate shop, and it allowed my to buy an e30 when I was 16. Not to mention countless snowboard trips that my mom wouldn’t have been able to afford to send me on.

Funny you mentioned that. I remember there was a candidate for the BC Conservative Party on the ballot box last election. Its not a big party I guess as my friends didn't have a candidate in their ridings.

So I would imagine they are even further far right party.
