By now most of you have seen the Costco Brawl video on you tube. If not, google it as I have difficulty sharing it. Without a doubt, the behavior of both parties is poor, but what came after was completely unexpected – the onslaught of racial/immigrant comments.
Most of the Canadian comments talked about the actual brawl. We are lucky to be living in a country where people are more than a colour or ethnicity. This is “being Canadian”. I have been in a similar position at Christmas at Square One. I was already in the parking spot when a woman came out of her car and said she saw it first. I looked at her crying kids in the car, said you can have it and backed out of the space.
I can’t say I was always the bigger person. In my previous home, everything was a fight and kindness was a weakness. Canada has taught me to be a better person and my self esteem is no longer tied to being right.
Bottom line – the behavior of these adults whether they are Canadian or immigrants is un-Canadian. We shape the society we live in by what we do…what kind of Canada do you want?

Yes I also enjoyed the big old white man beating the smaller younger gook coloured guy. Who cares who is right or wrong as long as the white man is left standing?

I can tell that the couple that you believe to be white are really a bunch of filthy jews. First of all, jews believe they have privilege over everyone else. Then factor in their behavior . The women shrieking like a ape. And finally the physical features. The old man has basically a grey haired fro just like a jew and the facial features make it unanimous
