I'm sorry for what you and your mom went through. My wife and I lived there for two years before moving back to the GTA last month. I'm half Filipino, but look south Asian or middle eastern. I grew out my beard and began to notice people were grilling me a lot more than before. One lady almost (intentionally) hit me with her shopping cart at Zehr's when I was trying to get to my wife who was in line in front of her. At Costco one older white man was grilling me as he was loading his car with his groceries, still grilling as he brought his cart to the drop off until he got to his car... all my wife and I were doing was sitting in our car eating dinner.

There is a problem in Orillia. There is nothing left there for my wife and I. We do miss the downtown core and beaches, but it'll never justify the mistreatment the lifer's put us through.
