You know this fusion, you are a minority as well. And you don't have the same automatic conservative arguments that other white posters have.
If most white posters had the same attitude as you do, there wouldn't be a problem brewing in this country.
I stand by my comments. If we want to have civil discussions and bridge gaps, coming at it from an angle that puts others on the defensive is not the right approach. You must engage in conversation and dialogue, not try to beat them down by telling them how economically inferior they are and lacking in culture. Heaven/Big Bang particle gods only knows there are enough issues outside English Canada on our continent as well. I think another approach is warranted - but hey that's me. I'm happy to get out my popcorn and watch the show - participate and have fun here and there time permitting in my life. If I spark ideas and hopefully, spark some balance and gap closing - all the better dude.
As for my minority status. I'm well aware there are more than enough people, be it Anglo Canadian, French Canadian, Immigrant, Vis min you name it who will simply shut me out simply because I am gay and married a gay guy who transitioned. Even more perplexed we are still together. The answer is simple - love and respect. Something we all could show a little more of to people different than we are.
By the way, please expand on what is brewing? I'd like to know your thoughts on that. Including personal experiences as to why you would say that.

I'm completely comfortable in my skin and my situation. Take it or leave it.
Fusion where I am I beating anyone down? I totally support your right to choose and think Canada is in a great position to take off. But we can't shut down the conversation as Canada bashing.
If I say that 2/3 software engineer graduates move to the US I am not bashing Canada. It is a factoid that warrants a talk. If we told an Irishman that 2/3 software engineers moved to England they would probably talk about how to improve the situation, not take it as a personal insult.

I think you know as well as I do in the context of the many threads in here, and what you said that it was not a tactful approach to some valid concerns. If those valid concerns were presented differently, you'd probably receive a different response. I even engaged you in conversation about those valid concerns with some solutions I thought we could pursue, and I am sure they are in practice as well. I didn't take it as an insult at all - but the clouds of drama around what you presented were pretty typical, and is worthy of challenge in its own right.
But let's clear away the clouds. You said trouble is brewing in Canada. Expand on that and what you meant please.
Actually Canada is just doing fine. We dont need to change anything based off of inflated statistics. Canada is a G8 country one of the biggest oil producing countries a world leader in technological innovation and people from all around the world know of us as a model of righteous government. Also Canadian soldiers are among the worlds most famous. We also led the world by building the arm for the last space shuttle.
Your disdain for your people is showing.
Hello Snowhound,
That is an American picture is of a US space station that was photoshopped by the Canadian federal government, don't you know?
The only racist here is you. Racism is a very minor problem in Canada and is only a real problem south of the border.
LMAO hahahhahaha If i had a dollar for everytime I heard this!!
