Why is it that the most vocal racists have the most access to computers and are the most active on social media? My facebook feed has been flooded by morons and I take the time when I see them in real life to tell them what an idiot they sound like. Because apparently Canada is letting an ISIS army cross into our country without background checks or something.

MINIMUM wage, people. The wage increase isn't just for the burger flippers. Feel free to get offended anyway. Also, protip: most firefighters make more than $11 an hour.

Hell, my brother and father are volunteer firefighters and they get paid more per hour than that.

And people say Canada is such a bastion of tolerance. Perhaps it is, but the minute you leave the cities it is back to 1950s bigotry and racism.

Nah, that's a Rafale. The Typhoon's fuselage is much smoother in the middle, it doesn't have that same bulge before tapering into the jets.

No, Canada is as intolerant as anywhere else. We just manage to keep it hidden, or be polite enough that people forgive us. After the shooting in Ontario a year ago that killed a soldier, every goddamn day I had to hear rednecks go on about immigrants and Muslims, and I live in a city of a million people.

And last night a woman was assaulted outside a school in Toronto. We're so nice.

So Carrie Fisher talks about how hollywood has not changed its stance on making actors conform to beauty standards, and talks about how she was told she needed to lose weight to play Leia again. I think its pretty understandable to be annoyed at how the industry dictates what your body should look like. Naturally, the people in the comments don't see it the same way and start ripping her apart for having an opinion.

Not that I've seen among my circle, but I have seen a lot of "this is a black day for our country, watch Trudeau run us into the ground by spending money on OTHER countries while our OWN PEOPLE SUFFER.

You know, apart from the fact that he's launched an inquiry into the missing and murdered Aboriginals, aka helping our own people. But whenever I see someone say "we should help our own people first!" my mind automatically rewords it to "they should help ME first!" I have never seen a single person complaining about us giving humanitarian aid ever voice their concerns for the native population. They're all just drunk indians to those hicks.

Oh boy. I stand horribly, tragically corrected.

I live in an extremely conservative area of Canada (Renfrew Nippising Pembroke) and I get this kind of poo poo all the time from Facebook acquaintances. So many anti refugee fearmongers and gun nuts around the area complaining about Canada not helping their own people first. I do enjoy pointing out that the Liberal government is reopening nine Veteran's affairs offices, aka the redneck's idols whom they hero worship.

Also, former Sniper Jody Mitic came out and said the anti refugee nutters are assholes for pitting Veterans welfare against humanitarian efforts.

Last year I got into an argument with a guy in a store for carding me. Nothing against that aspect, but it's the fact that he was the manager and told someone to card me when he himself had sold me beer without issue just 2 hours earlier. Then called me a liar when I called him on it. What a prick.

I'm more confused as to why you were out buying more stuff two hours later. Liquor Stores here would toss your rear end out if you tried that stunt, becasue they can't sell to intoxicated or believed to be intoxicated customers.

I'm bilingual (English and Quebec French), and I still feel bad that I don't know more languages. It's not just about respecting other people's language, but that learning new languages is pretty drat fun. Sticking to one and expecting everyone else to compensate is baffling to me.

Guys who are really attracted to Harley Quinn worry me. Especially the guys who actually work in comics that make her more and more sexualized as they make her more and more violently psychotic.

DC is run by shitheads who run everything into the ground. Harley Quinn is just one of the more notable characters to undergo slutification. I remember reading about a girl who liked reading Teen Titans comics getting upset when the New 52 comics turned Starfire into a literal whore.

Comics are bad, but DC is the worst.

mm yes, harley quinn, that noted important story-driving character who is not characterized by her relationship with a male character

She only used to be tied to the Joker. Nu cool DC made her a strong independent super sexy short shorts lesbian. Because modern DC is run by idiots. Bruce Timm's version was tied to the Joker and used Quinn as a vehicle to deal with spousal abuse and stockholm syndrome. And even then, they had episodes where Harley went "gently caress it!" and ditched the Joker to go party on her own, party with Ivy, or even try to go straight and get rehabilitated.

Well for one you don't literally put immigrants in concentration camps, aggressively disenfranchise minority voters or have some sort of infallible thousand year history of being a white people country. Canada has a bunch of accommodating integration policies, like having signage and pamphlets in 7+ languages in any public building that an immigrant might use. No matter how token those are, they're miles ahead of any other country I've visited.

Except for our internment camps for Ukrainians of all people in WW1, and the Japanese in WW2, or Canada's horrific treatment of Chinese laborers during the construction of the railroad. We have a history of racism that just gets ignored because of reasons.
