Yikes Mixed reaction after Maple Ridge mayor says homeless addicts 'raping, pillaging' his community Gotta love there was a "mixed reaction". Maple Ridge is basically a (canadian) yellow vest protestor in town form.

I was just there. The town is just as dull and boring as it's always been. Quieter than Ladner. also, again this is the same mayor who campaigned on invisible "vehicle congestion"

Mameluke posted:Niki would've pushed him into traffic This is an astonishingly insensitive post. It's been only two years since Ms. Ashton was horribly traumatized and scarred for life by an incident on the floor of the house of commons. One adult brushed against another. Through she was not actually involved in the incident, she tells of how she witnessed it and she'll have that with her the rest of her life. Using her name and "pushed" in the same sentence risks metaphysical triggering her, reopening that wrenching trauma from which she still hasn't healed. For shame.

People are already dumb sensitive about this stuff and I think going after it wasn't a good move on her part - there are better targets to go after for racism in this dumb province.

she made a facebook post and did a radio interview, the freakout people are having is not warranted in the least. the idea that this is some sacred cow that shouldnt be criticized is dumb as hell. its not helping either that CJOB and global news are now fox news north and the clickbait headline "advocacy group wants to change whiteout name" is leaving 99% of this city too red in the face to actually read or listen to the interview before slamming hate out on their keyboards.

They're wearing hoodies because it's Winnipeg and it's like -4, not to be crypto-KKK.

There wasn't a more substantiative argument other than "well it's called white and there's a lot of people there and that's triggering because it's all white [the colour, not the race]". I want to be open to racial critiques of white institutions. But there's nothing actually there beyond demonizing the color white.

Is shows you don't actually care what she said, whatever she said you're on her side. For everyone else, here's what she said, in its whole context: quote:If you’re not aware today the Winnipeg Jets kicks off its downtown street party series—making downtown ‘white again’ we had to share this. For people who come downtown to take part in the Jets festivities, just remember a massive street party called a #whiteout does not make all #Winnipeggers feel safe. Explain how that isn't an attempt to connect the KKK and Donald Trump to Jets fans.

I created a twitter recently because I hate myself I guess and I’m astonished at how clickbaity CBC is. I imagine I’m a million years late on this realization though. 80% of their articles are designed to cause as much outrage as possible because that pays the bills I guess.

I find the Jet's thing silly but I think there is a conversation there about the language being used, how it's presented, and how it may affect minorities. However people are huge babies and kick up a fuss when they are presented with how anything they do may be, and I hate to say this word, problematic. This is so incredibly minor and I don't understand why people are blowing it up into a huge deal. Have some self reflection there, hockey fans.

This is so incredibly minor and I don't understand why people are blowing it up into a huge deal. Have some self reflection there, hockey fans. The problem is that there’s no actual argument or criticism made. The article doesn’t advance an actual reason why the name “whiteout” is bad or hurtful. It conflates white as a color with white as a race, and then says “I don’t like these white things and these other white things are vaguely similar in form, so that’s bad.” It drops inclusion and being triggered as social justice shibboleths without explaining how a public hockey party is problematic. It’s a list of images with no actual criticism. The article doesn’t make an argument other than to say “white bad”, and assumes that is already acceptable as a conclusion. I want to believe her, but there’s nothing to believe, nothing to give credence to.
