      While I disagree with down voting, especially en masse or on racist grounds, I am also against public shaming of voting. It’s part of the reason voting is partly hidden.

      Of course, you can only have a discussion with commenters, not lurkers.

      Urgh, naming and shaming people for disagreeing with you? What a fkn sad thing to do, I’m ashamed to share the same opinion with someone as pathetic as you.

      My opinion is fuck you, your drama and the horse you rode in on.

      Upvotes and downvotes are used to indicate what people should see, and I don’t think people should see your posts.

      Yes, I only ever see you here to stir up drama and your flood of posts agitating against a day you would never celebrate anyway regardless of the date are no exception. You’re doing it again with this comment, post stuff that’s not attempting to stir up shit if you want upvotes.

      Wow, tracing people online. :-) I hate racism, promoting one race over other is racism no mater what. All this jumping around First nation only creates more hate toward them, it is not helping at all. Want to help, help people in disadvantage no matter what race they are. If it will go predominately to aboriginals, fine, it means they need it more.

        Very true. Why, then, are you not opposed to our national celebratory holiday being moved away from a day seen as a day of mourning by some, because of what it represents for them and their culture?

          It affects only a very small percentage of the population. For the majority, that date means nothing outside its official meaning. And no matter what day you pick, someone will be offended. Just move on; it does not matter in the grand scale of things. But I would agree that putting it on the day when the federation was formed would make more sense, but January 1st is already used.

            Ah I see. Racism is ok then, when it “affects only a very small percentage of the population.”

              Logic? Please explain how did you come to this conclusion?

                  I just fail to see how you come to this conclusion based on my post. Please explain.

                    If you’re so illiterate you can’t even understand your own comment, I don’t know that there’s much value in continuing here.

      We had a referendum about this, you lost.

      We don’t want this identity politics bullshit, we reject it.

      So, take this nonsense and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

          They’re just saying what we all knew to be true at the time. No voters weren’t voting on the proposed changes to rhe Constitution.
