Love how Pepsi and OMG are equating historical injustices against black and minority groups in the states to injusticies in Calgary against the LGBT community. Apples to Oranges to Elephants comparison

No I didn't. I painted "an inordinate number" of cps members as "good ole boys" because that's exactly what they are. CPS, RCMP, jail guards, they all have similar problems. Here, have a read...
