Well your angle seems to be that we are some perfect utopia and his is that we are all spiteful lunatic racists.  Both positions, to me, seem to lack an actual connection with our reality.

personally, i think focusing on it specifically only seperates everyone all the more.  not that events shouldnt be covered and discussed, but it should be looked at as part of the history rather than cherry picking events throughout it all and lumping them all together.  If the events are important then they will stand out in their place in history and dont need something like a special month.

I claim nothing of the sort. Rather I am suggesting that Joelcool lacks perspective on racism in his own country. Presenting examples of racism in Canada is not the same thing as claiming that Canada is full of "spiteful lunatic racists"

Ummm I may lack some perspective. But you did say that us here in the North were worse then the racists in the South, you even suggested Canada is worse then America. You also tried very hard to point out how racist our country is and has been.

As for me thinking my country is Utopia, I am a little over patriotic and it probubly isn't as great as I make it sound but thats my perspective and I think hearings like this one show that Canada takes racism very seriously.
