Funny since Indigenous peoples are the first Canadians with Canadian identities, and their populations are younger, growing more rapidly with a higher birth rate than others. Black Canadians have been here longer than most Europeans. Old white racist Boomer men won’t be missed.
Roughly 7.6 million Canadians are over the age of 65. Over the next 20 years, nearly all of these people will die. Once that generation is gone, Canada will no longer have enough "Canadians" to maintain our identity. It will be a black hole of third world cultures.

This was so incredible to receive at such a difficult time - thank you @MichaelleJeanF.
Beautiful tribute to my father. Thank you so much to @MichaelleJeanF and the family at the Foundation. This means a lot to us to have his legacy recognized. He was a humble and quiet man but full of love, kindness, and strong principles.

Please research the Maafa and the African Diaspora. And just because they won’t teach you critical race theory doesn’t mean you can’t study it.
