In the words of Trudeau: It's 2015.

Even though most white people are in fact harmless doesn't negate the damage of white privilege. Racism is both passive and assertive, and even though I'm not racist, I benefit from being a white male.

Where do they imply other people can't be racist? Sounds like a straw man you're trying to set on fire.

The only reason white folk are in first place is because they are the ones who systematically create the game and the rules. It's the whole waking up on third base thinking you hit a triple.

Oh man. There's a lot happening currently with our indigenous communities.

Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women: Link

There are strong parallels between our countries and the over representation of our indigenous population in the prison system to the over representation of black americans in your prison system. The industrial prison complex knows no boundaries. Link

We just had a federal election with an improved voter turn out. Our previous government had brought in some controversial bills which seemed to wake the people.

Bill C 51 - An alleged anti terrorist bill but provides government agency with broader powers and less accountability. Link

Omar Khadr - Canadian prisoner who was in Guantanomo Bay. Wiki is here He's recently returned to Canada and is now free.
