Masked revolutionaries in all-black uniforms beat American citizens

It's not "history", just like in the US, Canada has a black incarceration problem up there in the present too.


But I really like Canada even though I've only been to BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

 

It does, doesn't it? I'd add Duplessis orphans and the residential schools to the list of topics locals would rather not discuss (however, the usual cop-out on these two is to blame the Catholic Church).
I have a question to you though: did you realise posting this that Canadian "enemy subjects" internments happened 20-30 years before the very similar Japanese-American internments? In the stunning show of global terribleness, Stalin's ethnic purges policies (similar but far, far worse) land right dab in between. Therefore, I'm not sure I can see what point are you trying to make here, exactly.

 

...and missing indigenous women, too. Canada is a great country that would be much improved by abandoning the very annoying tendency of Canadians to pretend it's better than it is.

 

Can you please explain? (for those of us who are unfamiliar with Canada)

 

Do not forget: I'm not a Democrat; I'm a Liberal, and last time we won in a rather spectacular fashion. Therefore, I have no political downside pointing out that ultimately, electing Trump is the responsibility of people who voted for Trump. This should be a Captain Obvious statement.

Also, "a candidate lost because she was unpopular" is a rather breathtaking tautology, don't you think? Root causes of the unpopularity and the loss both are many, including the very stupid "balance" coverage both in MSM and by a self-proclaimed "independent" commenters. Also, holding her and her camp to a standard different from one for her opponent. Types of discourse you perpetuate btw.

 

Stanislav, the point is that it is unwise to label large people-groups with the same stereotypical brush. For example, labeling most or all Russians as being dishonorable or as being ethnic-supremacists is unwise.

Similarly, it is unwise to label all Ukrainians as being unintelligent, simply for being of Ukrainian descent.

 

"Beginning after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and lasting until 1949 (four years after World War II had ended), Canadians of Japanese heritage were removed from their homes and businesses and sent to internment camps in the B.C. interior, and to farms and internment camps across Canada.[2] The Canadian government shut down all Japanese-language newspapers, took possession of businesses and personal property. In order to fund internment, property belonging to Japanese Canadians was sold, including fishing boats, motor vehicles, houses, and personal belongings.[1]"

Same with the US, in my opinion.

 

There've been quite a number of articles on the subject over the past few years, I've read a few here or there.


Canada has a Black Incarceration Problem that Human Rights Advocates say isn't Being Addressed

Northern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your red book said
Northern change gonna come at last
Now your mantras are churning fast
Northern man

 

But I still am allowed to label individual people for being condescending pricks, right?

There are people of Russian descent. I have partial Russian descent. Dr. Ignatieff from the CEU thread directly descends from prominent Russian titled nobility (so he's technically "Count" Michael Ignatieff, in addition to being a Honourable and a Privy Councillor of Canada). Descent means nothing.

Then there's country of Russia, that prosecutes minorities and waged a bloody war on its own province before handing it to an Islamist thug in exchange for phoney baloney "loyalty". That invaded sovereign countries daring to reject its dictates - with overwhelming support from Russia's population, I might add. There's no "honor" in that.

Nice passive aggressive ethnic slur, bro. You have a future in the Trump movement. Brush up on Twitter use.

 

The difference is, US is really a superpower and a leader in many ways. Despite current leadership.

 

It's still moronic to blame me for Trump win, and you know it. It may be bad politics to fault the voters, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Everyone overestimated the public's ability to see through the mountain of smears.

She is an example of how you don't have to do anything actually bad to be "unpopular". The earliest reason for the dislike was in her case not looking the part of the First Lady of Arkansas. People can be horrible.

Oh come on. All the free publicity. Kitty paws. Constant lookout for "Trump pivot". Normalizing. Hideously disproportionate coverage of "Clinton controversies". The media made Trump into a plausible candidate. You very well know it.

...and this thread is the illustration how it happened. You perfectly played an unbiased media type, choosing to focus on beating up on me and HRC for an equivalent of the "deplorables" supposed gaffe. Ignoring the fact that me again's point is pretty much completely bogus. "Balance".

 

Finally a statement we can agree on
