What narrative? That in the past racism was more prevalent everywhere across Canada and there is a likelyhood that some/most rural areas were likely not the first movers in the fight against racism and the changes in society in those regions? Just my opinion. I wasn't alive before 79.
Where I grew up, a prairie city of a couple hundred thousand, probably had significant racist views when my dad was born in 52 and still when Bill Peters was born in the 60s. Would it surprise me if it was still experienced there today? Not one bit.
Maybe you know every single person that was around Bill his entire upbringing and can vouch that there wasn't racism?
Anyway, the comment is about the history, not the state today.
