Re: Altercation ignites firestorm, July 2
It’s time we buried the race card in the bottom of the deck because everything is not about race.
We had a situation at Centennial Beach where one woman got caught in the rising tide and sought higher ground and another woman, a police chief’s wife, saw someone coming toward her property. She is alleged to have turned the hose on the woman, not a gun.
If I was a police chief’s wife, I would be seriously concerned about anyone violating my home space.
Yet, people who had nothing to do with it, took umbrage and protested outside her home, claiming it to be a race violation.
Do our immigrants welcome being identified as some other race all the time? They are Canadians.
We’ve all had people be mean to us. I’ve been cheated by indigenous people and no one played the race card on my behalf.
These were two fine Canadian women, both concerned about their safety.
That’s it.
