Chief Complainsalot should find something better to do with his time, like maybe helping those 1000 displaced people.

Sounds like those crying racist are likely racist themselves.

Regardless of the question or race, it is time we take back the night streets throughout Northwest Ontario and Winnipeg...

So the apology was racist?

In another Huffpost story they whine about native women being victims of crime, rightfully, then post this BS about hurt feelings when someone actually acknowledges that the crime problem is real.

Politically correct BS.
It helps kill people.

Lemme guess, a big handful of cash will cure the hurt feelings?

The problem here is that the statement doesn't actually say anything about the native at all. There is a lot of 'assuming' going on with this. So Air Canada says their sorry, from what I see... this is exactly what it looks like, a miss-understanding. Like everything else these days, it's completely blown out of per-portion. The statement simply says due to the displaced people they want to ensure their employees are not put in additional risk of harm. I really don't see that they were trying to point out that the displaced peoples were native and thus suggesting there was an issue. The real problem is if the 'displaced' people were white and this same statement was sent out, this wouldn't be a story in the news at all. From a company standpoint, they were likely trying to ensure the general safety of their employees, which is a good thing. I'm in no way suggesting that we shouldn't be stamping out racism or that it's not an issue in the world, but I personally think that people are so far in the opposite direction now (people take offence to absolutely everything). The way in which it was written could have been changed, but this shouldn't be some outrage. If Air Canada stops allowing native people to fly, then we have some problems!

Give me a break, aprox 1,000 people have be relocated, 100 of them First Nations and Air Canada is being labeled racist? Seems to me like the chief is ignoring 900 other people in this case. Not everything is about race no matter how hard some people try to make it so.

Fine, Air Canada withdraw the apology, stick to your guns and keep your staff close to the airport and away from the safe clean & shining streets of beautiful downtown Winicarjackpanhandlepublicdrunkanddefecationpeg.

Issuing a retraction doesn't make the original Air Canada statement any less true. It is. Just more visibility to a problem that has been "ostriched" by native leaders for years.

Does the Chief deny that there is a problem ?
