    Canadians all too often use evidence of American racism to feel good about their country, instead of as a spur to discussing our own faults

        @HeerJeet Most fugitive slave accounts described Canada as more prejudice, but less discrimination. Crown deserves some credit for that.

        @HeerJeet @Firebomb173 - While we've never had a trend of ganging up into hate mobs and lynching people based on race, Canada has issues.

        @HeerJeet @Firebomb173 - Our Aboriginal population is horrifically treated. Not even the centuries-old treaties we signed are respected.

        @HeerJeet @Ez4u2say_Janis I totally agree Jeet. If we don't question our own attitudes and behaviours it's because we are in denial.
