Imagine for a moment that a certain group of people in a country were granted special rights and liberties. Special education grants and large employers were expected to hold positions to fill quotas for them. To make special exceptions to give jobs to those that were less qualified in order to keep the special group happy.
No keep your imagination running for a bit. Let it go.
Imagine your child was in the hospital and you found out one of these special cases was the care giver of your child.
And that someone less qualified was passed up because of the colour of their skin. Your child, your little one. Tears in their eyes, ends up worse off. The system failed you because of race.
To save face!
Like letting your little kid win a race when you could crush him easily.
White privilege in Canada does not exist.
Doesn’t exist!
You read it right DOES NOT EXIST!
There are a certain group of people who are granted special rights and privilege.
The FIRST NATIONS people.
Whether or not this is real or perceived it is real to those who believe it is.

These are just a few of the things for Aboriginal people of Canada exclusively.
And these programs are real and verifiable.
Google is your friend here.
You see reality is subjective. Your reality and mine are completely different. Molded by our upbringing and beliefs. And I guarantee my upbringing is different than yours. Thus how we perceive our surroundings will also be different. But you have to admit that if this was the case for other groups than it would be a shame.
It is also very sad that a group would want these programs. This special treatment. But the programs are there whether or not they want them.
Fire up your imagination again. This one will be easy. You challenge a small child to a race. You let them start way ahead of you. You give them a 50 meter head start in a 100 meter race. And still win. This is what is happening in Canada.
It is also a shame that as a people you would not believe in yourself, or your race. To say that we need all of these special programs, to help us. The other races do not need this help. Just us. We cannot make it on our own. Please send help. Please give us a participation ribbon.
Like when women have special programs. Programs to help with business, to get ahead in maths and science without allowing boys and men the same access to these programs.
The women pushing for these programs are essentially saying that
“Women cannot make it on their own. They need all the help and pushing they can get. We are weaker than men, and we cannot ever get anywhere without special treatment and help!”
See here Womens business centre
Women and Aboriginals must be weaker than the rest of society. According to the Canadian government.
See the Canadian Governments website here for proof.
And Here
To give exclusive access to these groups, is ridiculous and absurd. But it is happening. And will continue to happen. I am just hoping to give some insight to people so they can possibly see another side of things.
This should be enough to convince you a little that Canada does not believe in their Aboriginal people and Women. Canadian government does not believe that these groups can do it on their own. They are saying “they are like your little brother or sister and you need to let them win”
This post is not meant to be about hate. It is meant to help people who read this that other people perceive these programs this way.
People in Canada who are not privy to these special programs, may get a resentful feeling inside. They may feel (which is their reality) that they are being pushed down and force to carry the weaker ones. Which it appears, whether real or not, we are.
It is a lot like PC culture. Being non PC doe not mean you hate, But the same way being PC also does not mean you DO NOT HATE. PC people are among the least intolerant people I know of. The ones I have spoken too will not usually let me get a word in, if I am saying something they do not believe in. Try it and you will see. I have been physically attacked, for the words I have said.
As a male in Canada, who is not aboriginal by definition, I am not someone who an take part in these programs. I am expected to make it on my own. And I am and will.
