Anon is either white or they come from the same area in the world as the immigrant family that they met.
Canada is like high key racist now. Thanks MAGA, and your interest in Alberta resources
Hi. Am Canadian, am originally from Alberta, love everyone except fucking fascists, and can confirm Alberta is currently Canada’s stanky armpit and has been so for some time.
We were racist before MAGA
Thunder Bay has been a race war for decades. If a crime happens in the white part of town it’s likely the aboriginal people and if it happens in the aboriginal part of town it’s likely white people. I was nice to an aboriginal person once when I was there and he started crying then hugged me. You can guess which side the police actually investigate
racism exists everywhere, don’t blame the US for what already was there
I’m Canadian and can confirm Canada has always been racist gestures broadly at indigenous affairs and history of violence and assimilation.
That being said Canadians are very nice and it’s only a smaller minority that is racist/ awful.
Our southern racist neighbor embolden the local racists and make them feel more comfortable doing their racist recruitment in public where it’s more effective.
Canada is always just an election cycle or two behind the popular American culture.
Indigenous women have been disappearing to the concern of absolutely nobody in the country for decades. If anything, the rise in fascist ideology in the US has made people more aware and critical of the racism that already existed in Canadian society
Canada is like high key racist now.
Canada has a good reputation on how not racist they are, but really all that racism is directed at Indigenous people. You’ll be fine for the most part as long as one doesn’t stay in the prairies for too long.
If Anon was a native woman they wouldn’t have lived to make the post
Op writing they walked 3km of 4 miles feels very canadian
Do Canadians use both units?
We use all of the units; my prints generally list pipe diameter in inches, but length in millimetres
He got at least partially Canadianized mid post switching from miles to kilometres.
I hate Canadians.
Those shifty bastards are hiding something.
Yeah, it’s dead children under our residential schools.

Be in Canada

Make small talk with random people you meet.

People offer to drive you around, so you hitchhike everywhere
“Wow everyone in Canada is so nice! They give you a ride wherever you want to go, practically for free.”
-
Travel to NYC
-
Ride the subway all the way across town for, like, $2
-
Random people keep trying to make small talk on the train when you’ve got your headphones in
“Fuck NY, these people are assholes.”
I’ve never understood the New Yorkers are assholes reputation. They’re some of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
I had a map out, guy asks where I’m trying to go, I tell him the Met. He starts giving me directions. Another guy overhears and stops to argue with him about the best way to send me there. It was the newyorkiest thing I’ve ever seen. “He doesn’t want to go that way, send him this way”, “if you want to send him that way you might as well send him this other way”.
