    I’m trying to figure out what you mean by this. Is your experience that Alberta is a particularly racist province, more so than other provinces in Canada?

      That’s how I understand it, and from my experience it’s accurate as well. Alberta is basically Kentucky or Alabama or something.

      *edit but I don’t think that it’s worse than those places, definitely canada is not MORE racist, especially in general.

        If you care to share, what has been your experience?

        I have to say I am surprised by your top line assertion, but I’m open to change my mind if you have an argument you can substantiate here about the similarities between Alberta, and Kentucky or Alabama. I also don’t think comparing different cultures is necessarily productive if our goal is to deal with the real world effects of racism. I think racism exists in Canada and it’s something worth talking about and trying to address in our context.
