Very familiar with Nisga'a, as the Nisga'a Nation is a neighboring community, well neighboring for us up here. Lol
Nice responses by the way.

I try to be consistent not branding any ppl’s unless I’m driving in Richmond lol

That said I’m never in Richmond anymore so it’s moot now. Living in Coquitlam I find at red lights there is social distancing of cars though. 😂

The bridge is here. Portland Winter Hawks have filed for bankruptcy already. They had a very good gate other years.

If fans are not allowed in buildings amateur hockey can not survive.

There will be many adjustments & tough decisions ahead in many walks of life. This pandemic is catastrophic & far reaching. The depression comes to mind.

The Canucks would be smart to keep a top 16 pick this year which has been a very screwed up year globally .

There is no guarantee of what next year will be like or even if there will be a season next year . Take the playoff experience from the qualifying best of 5 series and come back healthy when play resumes.

Yes & it’s a proper term. You might have missed it but I said we have 2 official languages. I do not call them Quebecois.

What’s the difference between being African and French? Seems like a double standard to me.

Respectfully, the Kaepernick situation is a funny one. He's more of a 'disgruntled employee' than this cult hero protestor thing he has become. I'm not questioning Kaepernick's right to protest as many people died for those basic rights and freedoms. I'm questioning his methods of using his place of employment to push his agenda like many celebs do. I'm sure he was told by more than a few people 'if you do this, you may not play another game in the NFL'. But he did it anyways. So in hindsight he kind of got what he deserved other than the 'vilified' tag IMO just my take. Not sure about you but I personally can't use my place of employment to protest that moron Trudeau or my local MLA...I would literally be fired the next day. So I don't really have an issue with Kaepernick being blacklisted by the NFL when really, he brought it on himself. If he did it on his own time with his own money (nice Nike contract lol) then it's all good...say what you have to say. But using the NFL as his crutch to push his agenda I fully understand why the NFL wanted him out. And then a few years back he's tries to make a tryout comeback for NFL teams and made a mockery out of that. Again, if you don't think clearly before you act sometimes...you get what you get. And I say this respectfully to you with no hatred

So a bunch of old white dudes warn ( tell ) a young star black QB he shouldn't rock the boat and use his status to promote awareness about unfair treatment towards other black people or there may be repercussions. He takes a stand and does it anyways and hasn't had a contract since.

I mean I didn't want the guy on the Dolphins but that's because he wore a Castro shirt to a press conference in Miami.

Your contempt for anything liberal doesn't equate to police brutality and outright murder. Nor is your job anywhere near as exclusive as the 32 starting NFL QB positions available annually.

Imagine a young black man in a predominantly black league speaking out against racial disparity and violence towards young black people and using any influence they have to bring attention to it. It's too bad that too many sponsors and viewers and a non-racist president took offense to it instead of improving the situation.

French is the official language in 10-15 African countries, so I don't see any difference.

I'm absolutely fluent in french although english is my native language. I also have a french last name but we spoke english primarily at home because that was my mother's language.

French Canadians are called frogs, or toads if they're particularly hickish. The english are known as tete carre ( squarehead ). People that originate from Asia are known as asians ( unless you know what country they're from ) and people from Africa as africans (same deal). Of course, there are also europeans but you can often identify what part of Europe they're from by language.

Then, there's the Aussies and the Kiwis.

By the way, some of the most offended people I've ever encountered were Scotts mistaken as Irish or something silly like that.
