Quotes
"Canadian Society has become too multiracial that racism, true systemic and institutionalized racism, is constantly being challenged. I have always believed that Canada has the potential to be a Utopian Society. Sadly, we are too influenced by our American cousins." --Gale, August 28, 2002, E-mail to Sarah Kunkel
