    When IS it acceptable to talk about racism in Canada? I don’t agree with everything he says in the video, and there are some places where he ought to add some more context. But overall it seems like a pretty thorough and generally fair assessment.

    IMO If you think racism isn’t a problem in Canada, you’re wrong. If you think it’ll go away by itself if we ignore it, you’re wrong. It’s too easy for people to pretend that Canada doesn’t have a significant problem with racism, but we punch way above our weight class in that category. Lauren Southern, Gavin McInnes, Stefan Molyneux, are some examples that come to mind.

      Nah, it’s got a significant bias to it, and isn’t presenting a fair assessment. I’m not going to bother pointing out all the areas its got issues, because the guy’s voice, with a sort of AI tone to it, does a pretty expansive hitjob across a bunch of history. Highlighting some would just miss others, and you’d still argue there’s merit to this pile of junk slopaganda. Your comment just sounds like baiting to me, a “fair assessment”.

        It definitely has the bias of someone that has been impacted by racialization.
