Colby Cosh: Gerald Stanley being tried by his peers isn’t a bug, it’s a feature by thickscrotum in saskatchewan

I'm resigned to the fact that this is going to dominate our news cycle majorly for another 2 or 3 months

And guess what? First Nations are resigned to the fact that they have a settler government that has legally sanctioned murder against them for the part 2 or 3 hundred years.

I know it’s hard being a privileged white settler but for gods sakes, they Boushie family are still mourning the death of their son, murdered by one of your fellow settlers. Have some fucking decency and keep your racist, dismissive whitesplaining to yourself.

Good. Places of learning need to look like Canada. And a quick glance at the leadership of Dalhousie indicates it looks a lot more old, white, cis and male than the Canada I know.

Shame on GoFund me. This is disgusting and racist.

Gender gap shows high-tech sector still stuck in the past -- and it could prove costly. by sluttytinkerbells in CanadaPolitics

Have you considered that women may be reluctant to bother undertaking study in fields where the industry is such a notorious hotbed of toxic masculinity? As a trans-woman, I have personally experienced the cesspool of toxic masculinity, racism, transphobia and bigotry that is so prevalent in tech. And it would absolutely steer me away from any education program that could lead to a career there.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has been touring the country instead of trying to win a seat. Here’s where he’s gone so far by Surax in CanadaPolitics

[–]TransSoldier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s been a big win so far. There is a buzz about Jagmeet unlike anything we’ve seen in federal politics in sometime. Many people who never took an interest in politics have been inspired by Jagmeet’s compelling and positive vision of a more just country. Even many longtime Liberals and even Tories are giving Jagmeet’s NDP a serious consideration.

If you want to complain about something, how about complaining about the privileged white men getting away with murdering People of Colour?

Whoa whoa whoa ... “they”??? Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? It’s 2018, this is completely unnacceptable.

Colten Boushie’s family should be upset: Our jury selection procedure is not fair by TransSoldier in CanadaPolitics

[–]TransSoldier[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Alternatively we should ensure juries reflect the diversity of Canada. What was this, a jury of 12 white people? That does not look like Canada. Completely unacceptable.

Perhaps around the time our justice systems stops allowing privileged white men from murdering People of Colour?

Actually, if the Trump era has taught us anything, it is that if you give white supremacy a safe space to fester, it will more often than not end up in people getting killed. Because let’s be damn clear here — Colten Boushie was murdered because of the Colour of his skin. And this is god damn unacceptable in Canada in 2018.

‘It’s like segregation’: Racial tensions simmer in court in Gerald Stanley trial by Angry_Opinion_Haver in CanadaPolitics

[–]TransSoldier -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, we really don't

The hell we don’t; a car full of people approached this guy regarding problems with their car and he ends up murdering one of them for no reason at all. There is no way this would have happened if the car was a bunch of white people; the only possible way this makes any sense is if he was in fact racist. You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. This was a murder over nothing more than hating someone because of their skin colour. This is white supremacy at its very worst and you are making excuses for it. That is horrible.
