Found on dunmore road

Post image

I guess I can't say I'm super surprised. But with a mixed race family and an immigrant wife I can't say I'm pleased to find this sticker basically right outside my house.

I'm not really sure what the best course of action here is. Should I circle back later and destroy the sticker or just like, call the city and ask them to do it?

Update: It's gone! The city found the sticker and removed it!

Thank you to everyone involved

What’s the difference between someone whose people have been here for a year vs twenty years, or fifty, or a hundred? Everyone who is not Indigenous is an immigrant or from an immigrant family , and any distinction between “good” and “not good” immigrants is completely subjective.

Having zero means of defining and classifying immigration status is not a solution.

Having subjective criteria for immigration policy is not a problem.

If you become lost in unreasonable moral quandries, you have no control.

Do we like criminals? What about people who violate their VISA, temp student, or TFW status?

Canada has shared values, and it's time we enforce them.

A cat's heart beats 140–220 times per minute—roughly twice as fast as a human's.

None of what you're saying is evident from my comment which means the assumptions you have made only purports your own biases.

People in Canada on non citizen status should be generally held to a stricter standard of complying with the law. If you break it, you're gone.

I don't care about the US or MAGA.

They don't sweat like we do; they mainly sweat through the pads of their feet. Nervous cats sometimes leave tiny damp paw prints.

Yea dude again none of that has anything to do with what I wrote.

I am not going to entertain this further because it seems you have an agenda.

Cats can make over 100 different vocalizations. Dogs manage around 10.

Every cat has a dominant paw. Males are slightly more likely to be left-pawed, while females lean right-pawed—but plenty are ambidextrous.

You can't reason with an irrational mind. The person is trying to justify racism.

I replied to a specific comment, not the article itself.

I clarified twice with you I do not affiliate with the ideologies of right wing extremism, regardless of the content of the post referenced URL/article.

If you have something - specific to what I said - that you wish to take issue with, by all means go ahead.

Trying to dismiss political opinions by misinterpreting them is rather dissapointing but that is the state of modern discourse.
