4 years ago. He 's a good egg. I just hope canadians vote smart and vote for him. He acknowleges white privilege. We all do now. Maybe this will be a good learning experience. I like the people who say we've all done something bad when younger. Or the guy on the news tonight who said "i know people who have done something racist and i know people who are racist and they are not the same thing". But like anything really bad it should hurt for a bit.
