 What can I say they truly do know how to help especially when my Rights have been abused

 I am proud to live in the Province of Ontario, part of this great country, where human rights are vigorously protected and where we make every effort to be inclusive, correcting our inevitable past mistakes, and protecting those whose rights have been abrogated by a system built on "winners and losers" capitalism and its entrenched power structures. These structures cannot survive without the foundations of colonialism and its history of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and fear of "the other". I laugh heartily when I see a man complaining of "discrimination" in these comments, and I shake my head at the abuse heaped on this agency in these so-called fake "reviews" by those who cannot abide the idea that equality means giving up their privilege. If they were real comments, I'd reply: Go live in a country where your rights are withheld, where you can't speak your mind, where you are silenced and marginalized, then tell us what you think. Give up your privilege - and I say this as a white, gay male of over sixty years of age - or your world will soon be burning, and I'll be fighting to be first in line to light the match. David Roddis
