    What have you done for reconciliation, did you give up the rights to your home?

    I have a friend who is indigenous who is renting if you haven’t yet.

      After you posted that blog earlier whining about the share of white people in Canada being less than it was in the 70’s I find that very difficult to believe.

        Whining? It was a bunch of charts.

        Regardless of ad hominem, what have you done?

        Eby knows he’s being voted out the next election if he doesn’t roll this back in some way, because average people who spend a million dollars on their home don’t like losing the rights to it. They likely worked decades to acquire it, while people like you want to tell them how entitled they are for expecting to own it.

        Eby is also the best MP in Canada, and rezoned housing to actually help the poor, who now can’t afford a home due to nearly a century of regressive zoning laws coupled with mass immigration into an existing shortage.

          Sure, one of those charts noting that white people make up a smaller percentage of Canada than they did in the 70’s and suggesting that was a sign of Canada’s decline. What could that possibly mean?

            I edited a lot as you replied so quick, but I would say demographic collapse due to an erosion in living standards. Nobody can afford kids, as Eby is trying to fix.

              Complaining that there are more brown people than there used to be is a really weird angle of attack to show that.

                The decline is the fact we are being displaced due to the cost of living. Most people I think would agree it would be nice if we were a country mostly made up of native born citizens, in a country where citizens could lead normal lives and affrod to have children.

                But you’re here calling the NDP racists against indigenous, so I don’t know why I’m arguing. The witch hunters are so prominent now its impossible to discuss most political topics.

                  I’m not calling the NDP racist, I’m calling you racist.

                  Most people I think would agree it would be nice if we were a country mostly made up of native born citizens

                  And boy did I call it. I don’t care about my fellow citizen’s birthplace much at all, to be honest.

                    Even if its foisted upon your neighbors by a great wealth divide between asset holders and non-asset holders?

                    It feels like your so hung up on the witch hunt your missing the main point.
