That just one of several hate-based literature enshrined in manifestos the white settler colonies of Canada, British Columbia in particular, conjured up to morally justify dehumanizing the aboriginal peoples of Canada. It's more or less an extension of America's 'Manifest Destiny' which had to...

*snort* Like politicians give a fig where commuters actually demand subways :rolleyes:. What I find really off-putting about the Sheppard subway was that in its 'justification' for subway status, the actual line would only run a maximum to the Stoufville on Sheppard Ave. Which neglects the...

I don't see the the big fuss is about? It's not like Montreal's Metro hasn't renamed stations several times before all across its network (Berri-de Montigny, Longueuil). What's at the epicentre of this is naming after a figure who contributed to the cultural mosiac of Canadian society. If we can...

At least we got Reading Week off ;)!

When the thread began we still adhered to common human decency and were at least apologetic for talking like a rap video. Excuse me if I wanted things to remain on that level of decorum and class. What does childhood 1980s, in then rural, highly conservative, intolerant Mississauga have to...

Actually I did 'Steve'. If you clicked on the pdf link (http://intl-das.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/17/2/205.pdf) I provided you would have seen documented proof, beyond just my saying so, of the disabilitating manner in which the white majority abused another racialized group, Canada's home-grown...

My position may be hollow but no less the truth. A vast majority of white persons can be race-tolerant but if one, just one calls you a nigger in hateful connotation- the incident can and does change your opinion of strangers, unfamiliars in general and makes you question whether they carry...

I'll address each of today's major opponents separately!

Fine guys, you win! A black guy obviously isn't intellectually equipped or emotionally fortified enough to debate these type of conversations with you all :rolleyes:. Everything I say gets misinterpreted anyway, so why bother?

http://intl-das.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/17/2/205.pdf It appears, we wouldn't be the first set of people to be labelled "belligerent primitives" if it worked in the favor of the white majority's self-interest :rolleyes:. I have every right to be upset. We're not even bleeping out the...

:eek: You're just mocking me now aren't you?!! Careful your 'close black friends' don't sock you in the nose for being so disrespectful and insensitive. This whole decrying for being called a cracker/white trash is effectively nullified by your 'who gives a shit that I called a nigger a nigger'...

:D I swear the distance between the end of Rosedale Stn and the beginning of the Summerhill tunnel is little more than the length of a standard six-car train. I seriously doubt either station would exist by our nowadays, kilometre apart/only if crash-flooded by adjacent condos, style of subway...

Wait a minute, isn't Oakville and Mississauga already fare integrated, like at Clarkson GO and South Commons? MT has so much on its plate as is, it'd be hard to imagine it incorporating additional routes from adjacent cities. Brampton, Geogretown and Caledon however could combine into a...

Wow, tell us how you really feel! That's a very shallow, uninformed, generalizing remark that makes the assertion that only the will of corporations/politicians matter, not the concerns of actual real people that daily commute along several routes. These transit riders know which corridors are...

Alright, I get it, it all makes sense now, you're the perfect person, so right, so wrong :rolleyes:! The N-word already has several denotations. For the black in-group it's a term of salutation, endearment. However it can just as readily be used as a insult, by that very community. For...

Not inferred by me, by the security guard's usage of the N-word against her. That six-letter word speaks volumes more, has stronger connotations than her retort 'dumbass'! It all stems back to an era when people like him would have dominion over her (in more ways than one) regardless of how...

Train turnback would take forever. The downside to long-distance subways is one side can have effortless service while the other can be bogged down with system delays the result of atomspheric conditions, switch problems, on-board emergencies, even jumpers. Instead of wishing for a single...

Again the 905 gots the right idea as far as automated announcements go. Why can't the TTC mimic VIVA's method of only calling out destinations immediately before the stop? Two announcements, right as the subway train departs one station and another as it enters the next is ridiculous especially...

I in no way blamed an entire race for all the misfortunes of black people. I'm glad you admit to being discriminated against yourself, it really humanizes you. And if we could all put away our verbal machetes and move on, the world would be a better place to live in. You'd think so eh? I'm...

BUT! Bloor-Danforth's a west-east aligned subway, YUS is north-south. As such every cross artery north-south (bipartite) that intersects either Bloor or Danforth becomes the focus of relevancy. Likewise every mid-block concession east-west that intercepts YUS becomes the focus. As such...
