A sign hung in Port Coquitlam advertising a “whites-only” moms and tots group is causing outrage online after photos of a poster were shared on social media.

    What’s that? A sign that can be placed by literally anyone? And it’s obscenely racist? Must be real. Why wouldn’t somebody proudly advertise a thing people would be angry about in a public place.

      If you don’t think that there’s white supremists in Canada, or that they aren’t this brazen, you’re dead wrong.

        So there’s lots of brazen white supremacists in Canada? You must have a ton of similarly-brazen examples then?\

        This is noteworthy enough that I’ve seen it more than once already, on Reddit and here, in a world news community. That suggests that this is pretty frickin rare, which kinda undermines your argument.

          Uhh, have you heard of starlight tours? Residential schools? The Nazi they literally had a standing ovation for in parliament the other week?

      It really kind of doesn’t matter. Joke or serious, it could have an oppressive effect on minorities wanting to use the park. It sows doubt and mistrust whether it’s one person’s idea of a joke or serious idea.
