Episode 4: Is Canada Full Of Racism & Hate?

If we are to believe the officialdom & much of the media, Canada is teeming with hateful racists waiting to pounce on and victimize non-white people. This is in stark contrast with the messaging OUTSIDE Canada, where our country is presented as the best place on earth to live. Of course, the reality lies in-between, but pretending otherwise serves certain political objectives rather handsomely.

This pretense requires that political gatherings should be judged (and castigated, when necessary) based on the skin colour of the attendees, thereby rendering non-white Canadians as mere tokens to validate & give sanctity to these gatherings.
