RETRACTION

It looks like the young girl in ontario who said that a man attacked her with scissors and tried to cut off her hijab might not have been telling the truth, although there is always a chance the police could be mistaken. So for now, I am retracting that part of the story, although the point of the entry was there is no such thing as "universal canadian values ", and  I still stand behind that 100% .  To cite a few more examples, is the way tim horton's staff being treated now that minimum wage has gone up in ontario, "canadian values "? They are having their benefits cut because the company is saying they can't afford the new wage, which is complete and utter bullshit. Or how about people who worked for sear's for years and some who have been there for decades , who are now being told they may not get their pensions ? Lousy cheating fuckers.

And how about this for "canadian values "? Good day, assholes.
