I confess, I am unhappy to have to post this, but post it I must. Canada's RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are investigating some "Whites Only" signs in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam areas of metropolitain Vancouver, British Columbia. The signs, titled "Whites Only - Moms and Tots," which are also circulating on social media, read, in part: "Are you looking for somewhere your children can play with others that look like them? Are they tired of being a minority in their schools or daycares? Escape forced 'diversity' and join other proud parents of European children as we create an atmosphere in which our kids can feel like they belong." (A QR code and a web address lead people to a space on the Telegram messaging app, which often keeps racists cosier than more mainstream social media apps.)
Statistics Canada 2021 census data of the Port Moody-Coquitlam electoral district found 51,375 residents were part of a racialized group or visible minority, while 62,515 residents were not, so lets be clear -- those poor, suffering white moms and kids are not a minority.
I am quite incensed by this, but I believe strongly that this sort of garbage must be fought wherever it is found -- and especially in the country that I love and call home.
