I'm in the "screw public shaming" boat. Good to see the obviously Vancouverite author tried to absolve Ontario, Quebec, and BC of blame. Good on the author to diverge from the real issue by segregating us all into provincial sports teams instead of addressing the issue of racism in Canada. But hey, the people of Vancouver clearly aren't racist as a whole since their mascots wear Aboriginal attire and their police cars have cultural implications. Top notch thinking.

The article clearly outlines studies and surveys that support the idea that racism (against natives) is a big issue in those provinces.
Don't worry, keep your head in the sand. Better to pretend Vancouver is just as bad.
