      I am tired of white British men being paraded around in every institution as the archetype of expertise. This happens a lot in Canada: old white men with British accents are given the unearned space and authority of expertise and they have very little beyond their immediate ilk

      That reminds me that I've got to write an essay one day on Canadians with fake British accents. There are guys going around who spent 6 months in England total but sound like the Queen.

          That’s his entire career! Even in The Chronicles of Riddick he sounded like he was reciting the King and I

          This is a thing: Canadians with fake British accents. I went to Queen’s and it was A THING there for obvious reasons

          I’m glad I went to Waterloo. Where 26 of my 86 classmates (for five straight years) were visible minorities 30%.

          I lived in Montreal for less than six months , but I never met anyone with a British accent who wasn't associated with McGill.
