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.

Two-thirds of Quebecers say systemic racism exists in the province: poll

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
