'When you see your grandma coming through the door, your great-aunt, that hits home and you realize everybody is affected,' the executive director of the West Island Mission said.

I sincerely hope that you never endure the predjudices that you yourself are guilty of eagerly holding towards others.

Where are you from? What do you know about Québec politics? Real question.

When the prejudice is so engrained that you can’t even form an argument against an anonymous person because your entire worldview revolves around your prejudices.

Do you remember when Jagmeet wasn’t the leader of the NDP, and there was that woman yelling at him about him being Muslim? He’s not, he’s Sikh. When he was asked later why he didn’t just say “I’m not Muslim though”

"I chose not to answer the questions asked because I didn’t accept the premise.

“Many people have commented that I could have just said I’m not Muslim. In fact, many have clarified that I’m actually Sikh,” Singh explained in a statement.

“While I’m proud of who I am, I purposely didn’t go down that road because it suggests their hate would be OK if I was Muslim.”

I also refuse to entertain any line of questioning based on the premise that it’s ok to judge individual people who are elderly and being let down society based on the language they speak or the province that they’re in. It’s disgusting.
