The current paradox of conservative opinions is hilarious.

"Hah, look at Justin, that little pansy human being, he's such a wuss! Also, we better not let any refugees in, because what if one of them was a terrorist???"

I don't know how they can accuse Trudeau of being a coward, or unmanly, when he's willing to do things that they're apparently deeply terrified of.

I heard from a friend of mine that a guy I used to be friends with has gone into full-on, paranoid "the province is dying, everyone should leave!" sort of talk. It wasn't unexpected, but it's still disappointing. How can people who were so proud to be Calgarian, as he was all the time I know him, suddenly declare it's time to cut and run? That's how loving raisin-tiny the average witless conservative's nuts are. Their post-election behaviour has done more to alienate me from ever identifying with conservatism again than anyone else has done anything to really attract me...

On the topic of the CRA, I had to fill out a form requesting that they give my employer permission to not withhold taxes since I wont owe any due to my accrued credits and such. On this form it requested my employer which I gave as my new one. Three months later I received the permission letter on which they had my old employer which my new employer could not accept for some bizarre reason since it wouldn't change any of the calculations.

And that's why I'm just going to get a huge tax refund this year.

I think this is the closest parallel to the anti-First Nations racism, and I think it comes from a similar place.

Step 1: poo poo on an ethnic group for centuries.
Step 2: Owing to the fact that you've poo poo on a group of people for centuries, it turns out they have a high rate of poverty and marginalization.
Step 3: Poverty and marginalization lead to crime and substance abuse (as with every ethnic group).
Step 4: Use crime and substance abuse statistics to continue making GBS threads on that group. Return to step 2.

I think the perpetuation of anti-First Nations racism is intimately tied to the reservation system. They're largely small, isolated communities and prone to all the small town corruption and nepotism that comes with it, except they're also regulatory black holes that neither the provinces nor the Federal government want to take any responsibility for, so they end up being miniature dictatorships who's leaders generally don't give a gently caress about their people. They're effectively third-world countries embedded in a first world one, and have all the horrendous problems associated with that. Places where First Nations people from the reserve and non-First nations people mix (generally at schools) serve as a breeding ground for bigotry. I've had totally reasonable and well educated people who went to school near reserves tell me about how their (native) classmate was smart and a good student got pregnant at 17 and never went to university because (paraphrasing) "that's just how it is there".

I really think it will take a revolution from within the native community to fix the root problem with the reserves, I don't think the government should (or even can) force reform on them and even with a lot more funding (which the reservations need anyway) only so much could even reach the majority of people instead of getting funnelled away.

I went to middle school in a school exactly like you describe, and I think it's done quite a bit to moderate my view towards First Nations people, which would otherwise probably be quite racist. All the FN kids I hung out with were really cool people, and they actually did a hell of a lot for me. I have no idea where any of them are now, but I hope they've all done well for themselves, as they deserve.

I think the bigger problem is people who've grown up in cities, whose average interaction with a person who they actually identify as a First Nations person is that person begging them for change.

Also, people can change. A 50-year-old friend of mine went for a fishing trip out to Vancouver Island (I can't remember where exactly), and had a First Nations guide who, I guess, did a really good job and they still keep in touch. He was talking about something related and he said something like "oh, my native buddy... ...holy poo poo, I never thought I'd say that..." It turns out, once you treat people like people instead of some kind of alien being, they're usually pretty cool.

Putin has had fans among the American and Canadian right wing for a while now. He's seen as regularly snubbing Obama, is known to be pretty right wing, and the PR campaign to make him look strong and manly domestically plays well with idiots overseas as well (as a foil to a "pussy liberal" like Obama, as they would probably put it).

It's amazing how easily conservatives in the West fall for propaganda, whether produced by their own media or even the media of countries seen as their enemies. Putin's macho man image is a constructed facade to mask his own personal weaknesses because in Russia he's seen as effeminate due to his short stature and high-pitched voice. Hell, most Russians don't even fall for the image of Putin as basically a wrestler, but North American conservatives eat it up. Same with ISIS, their propaganda about how the West and Islam are incompatible and refugees could be terrorists in disguise and they're going to strike in Western capitals until the West invades them wouldn't be out of place on Fox News or the Sun.

I should mention here that the left wing would probably be equally susceptible to propaganda, it just usually comes in the form of facebook clickbait about someone shutting down their racist uncle or whatever.
