Kenora’s racial bias near Rat Portage

No doubt there’ll be some bitter / angry / resentful white folk from Kenora calling this nonsense – I’d love to hear their excuse.

Below is a satellite photo with part of the route drawn in green on the route I drive my children to daycare on Wauzhusk Onigum First Nation (mostly called Rat Portage). The red line marks the location of the reserve line (give or take ten-twenty feet). The route shown in green is public land.

One morning about four weeks ago I was driving my children to daycare and got to the point where the blue roads begin. The City of Kenora had spent the night sanding the roads in Kenora and had come down the green road to where the blue roads begin and sanded all the blue roads. They didn’t even bother sanding the road to the reserve line.

Considering the part of the road they missed is nearly twice longer than the blue road parts they sanded, it smacked of racial bias that the City would sand those meager blue roads and completely ignore the green road right up till the reserve line. You can bet your life on it if 1000 white folk lived in a housing enclave just beyond the red line, the City would have sanded all down the road and then some.

No doubt someone will have some load of crap excusing the City’s blatant racially biased action and call it an oversight or some nonsense – but I just don’t see how you can overlook half a mile of road that is used twenty times as much as the blue roads.

It was just another reminder of the main reason why I think Canada sucks and needs a whole lot of fixing.
