I don’t know how anyone can call Justin a racist . Have a look at his record with bringing in refugees from Syria and other countries when nobody else would take them. How many minorities are in his cabinet.

uhhhh... because Justin admitted it was racist? That was your first clue.

Back on topic of Confessions.

1) I think people who wear blackface are racist.

2) I think people who don't think it's racist for other people to wear blackface are ignorant.

Certainly blown out of proportion.

not really

Why not?
I'm hoping you'll support your response with something more than hyperbole.

I don't think it was blown out of proportion because the leader of our country has committed an act of racism. I used to see Justin as someone who support immigrants. Now, please explain why you asked that question? Are you looking for a debate on if the act was racist or not?

Of* not or

I dont give a flying fuck about blackface

If people actually cared it wouldn't conveniently come up right before an election.

Kinda...  If the PM cared he would have brought it up before the campaign.

I just rode the suicide creek area of Powell river by myself last month, no bear spray, just a 4" knife. I kept yelling "here boy", like i was with a dog but i wasn't and yelling "wooooo" a lot too.

I would but i'm not really into shuttling. I just got back from 3 days in Powell River and would really like to explore Sechelt to Gibsons via the BCBR route. I'm not sure if i could pull that off this weekend but PM me and we could set something up.

My animal behaviour prof worked very closely with bears for years - he was convinced that bear spray wouldn't stop a charging grizzly, but that it's real value was that it would give you enough confidence to not act nervous around them, which often causes them to get antsy.  He stoped carrying it years ago, and his students would carry it long enough to feel comfortable and then often not bother after a while.  The only bear incident he ever had was getting charged when he was with a student who couldn't relax around the bears.

I'd carry it, strapped to my bike, if I were riding in bear country.  I also holler "No Bear" or something similar regularly, when hiking or riding in bear country to avoid sneaking up on them, which is pretty easy to do on a bike or if they're all doped up on berries.

good advice, thanks

Unicycles are ok, but not Ebikes.

If you look on Trailforks, for any the trails at Thorhill -Maple Ridge you will notice that is says, "Ebikes Allowed: no". If you look at 7th Secret at Fromme, there isn't even a spot that says Ebikes:, allowed or not. 

This would indicate to me that ebikes are not prohibited from riding Fromme, Is this correct?
