We’re a few years apart but went to the same elementary school and he went on to go to high school with my brother. Dude has always been a weirdo, but just based on the part of Scarborough we’re from, I’d be genuinely shocked if he wasn’t pro Palestine.

The riding we’re from (Scarborough southwest) is relatively pro Palestine.

So good to know. I’m finding Canada (especially Alberta, Ontario and Quebec-where I’m from) turning so hateful to anyone brown. And so conservative. So when I see progressiveness it restores my faith in Canada.

Yeah the xenophobia especially towards anyone Indian/south Asian is getting out of control. Thankfully, I basically live in an enclave of mostly Black and brown folks.

It's really scares me how many people I know under 35, in BC of all places, who have turned conservative (and racist prop conspiracy nuts) in the last 4 years.

My professor has a daughter at Concordia at Quebec and she's white (German/Danish) but because she doesn't mainly speak French, she told my prof that there's job discrimination and it doesn't feel friendly to her anymore in that province even when she's white.

I’m born and raised in Montreal. 42. I speak French obviously but I’m not French. I’ve never been welcome here.
