“Something is better than nothing” is a pretty poor political stance.
“The other side is worse!” is equally terrible.

Trudeau is every cop in the US taking a knee normalizing a murderous anti-Black & anti-Indigenous state. “Nice” Canada rapaciously mines African & Native lands. Who are you protesting? Yourself? You’re literally in charge.

Remember black lives matter not only when it comes to police brutality but in every aspect of society. BLM in the education system where schools receive insufficient funding. BLM in the health care system where too often black ppl, especially black women, receive improper care. – at Indianapolis, IN
