‘This is not us’ says country where that’s totally them

Tens of thousands of Canadians have been heard uttering that this isn’t us, despite a history⁠—and present⁠—teeming with systematic racism which proves that it’s totally them. 

“This is not us,” said Saskatchewan resident Ernest Geal, who lives in a province where the last residential school closed in 1996.

“I don’t recognize my country anymore,” added his neighbour Tom Prazno, who has perhaps never really looked at his country before.

Despite the air of malaise, experts say the widespread soul-searching and critical reflection should end when a new season of NHL hockey begins.
