  • if you dislike what it says about you, that’s for you to process and deal with.

    I’ve done nothing but point out what it’s saying to me, and just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not being said.

    real talk here…

    its okay to be uncomfortable with what something says about you.

    but you CAN controll what you unconsciously say. By starting to recognize these biases and start to examine the root, and decide if you want to change how you do that in the future.

    I’m not even saying you have to, or even you should change. Just that if you WANT to change, you can.




  • why are you taking it personally that were talking about you specifically?

    I know many great Albertians. But they’re a slim minority. The people, as a whole, are not as good to interact with if your a person if color. this is coming from friends who are.

    we’re not saying you specifically are an ass, but that a lot more people are asses in Alberta than most other places in Canada.

    I gave you a few light hearted examples.

    how about the person who crashed into my friends cart for wearing a mask in a store and said “don’t rob me”.

    how about all the terrible things said about natives out there?

    how about the police running moonlight walks?

    or the anti abortion ads that used to be on trucks and on the university campus showing graphic photos?

    there’s more than you there.



  • buddy I grew up in Alberta. and there’s 2 things to sum up the people.

    During mask mandates I was in the Carstairs post office, and saw a woman with no mask picking up 2 boxes labeled cristianbooks.com

    the second is everyone in Alberta thinks being compared to Texas is a compliment.

    these are two light hearted examples, with many more in the memory bank.

    there’s jerks everyone. My worst bit of transphobia was in Toronto.

    But Alberta does seem to have the highest concentration of jerks. at least as far as my experience has gone.
