I wonder if tensions around Alberta's oil and their pipeline have not increased a general mistrust of the elites... And with Trudeau's half botched policies, it's no wonder people think there are too many visible minorities in the country.  Certainly something to be concerned about, right now.  The temptations for populism are very high right now.  On all sides of the political spectrum.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

What the hell does the pipeline have to do with minorities?

They both ferment distrust of elites because of bad policies.

Minorities = Trudeau = Elites.

So the reasoning goes - government purchased the pipeline. Government creates immigration and refugee policies.  Therefore we cannot trust minorities.  Is that it?

I think you stopped short 1 step.

We cannot trust minorities. Therefore we cannot trust the Government.

That's how I think this all goes.

Still don't understand why we can't trust minorities.  Viper is going to have to explain to us how that works.

Why me?  I don't even believe in that.  Make your own research, listen to populist canadians-for-Trump rants and you'll get the gist of it.

Wexit is Alberta getting all uppity again.  Happens every so often.  I don't see the connection with minorities.

I'm simply informing you of what some people might believe based on what I read, gleaning over some non recommanded places, like my Facebook page ;) and radio shock jocks.
