    Reminder that French speaking Canadians make up less than 20% of the population. Maybe we need to stop kissing their ass and forcing every politician to speak French

      I guess that’d work if you’re fine with losing 20% of votes. The NDP really can’t afford that right now though.

      Also your open disdain for a portion of the population is not OK.

        Im indigenous, you’re never going to make me feel guilty for disliking the British or French Canadians. But keep pushing the status quo where my people get shit on while yours get everything.

        I just love it when white people try to guilt my tan ass by implying that hating my oppressors is racism

          I mean, just to flip your point, indigenous people are 5% of the population, why should there be any special attention paid there if 20% don’t deserve it?
