We Canadians pride ourselves forward our acceptance of African American slaves into our rural parts when they escaped via the subterranean railroad.

We Canadians pride ourselves forward our acceptance of African American slaves into our rural parts when they escaped via the subterranean railroad. At least I did.

I learned about Africville (CNT June 6 2004) a years back; on a documentary forward CBC TV. To learn one time more of our bad treatment of poor refugee conflicts and shames me as a Canadian. What I had remembered was not the reality go throughed by these people but that we had given them aid. I am saddened to papal court how selective a memory can be. I am also ashamed that we do this to population We need to wake up

And then there is our 'revered' Don Cherry. I will say it again. Racism is alive and thriving in our beloved Canada.

Please, just detain telling us the truth.
