It is honestly ridiculous. I don't understand how we work so hard to feel so poor.

At an event right now knowing this will be the outcome.

Same. Clearly, we need to reassess our priorities.

Lol! Right? That was 1969 Montreal. Looks straight out of Bridgetown, Barbados 😂

Thanks! This is exactly what it is. We put out the welcome mat when we need people to do low-skilled, low-paying jobs, then we snatch it back to scapegoat them for all the ills of the country. When I was growing up, it was the Haitians and Jamaicans. Now, they're blaming the Indians.

Things were (or felt) so much easier when I believed if you worked hard enough, you'd be successful or that all people were treated equally. Sigh. It's be years since I believed this...and I'm in Canada. It's no different here.

Horrible. He knew if the information got out, he'd be toast.

I really wanted to go and the event was useful, it's just the foolish small talk and the awkwardness. I have been released, back to the comfort of my home office!
