The Humboldt bus crash, white privilege and the media
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/12/18 | Arthur Weinreb

Ordinary Canadians should not be upset at Loreto’s tweet. She really wasn’t talking about you, she was talking about herself and the progressive world she inhabits

It was a horrific incident that made news around the world. Last Friday a bus carrying members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team crashed with a tractor trailer at the intersection of two Saskatchewan highways. Currently the death toll stands at 16; the female trainer, the coach of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team, two members of the media travelling to cover the playoff game and 12 young players.

I know it’s pointless to post to you, so won’t ask for a hint.

Definitely not clicking on your link.

Ms. Nora Loreto. These are your Twitter words, “I’m trying to not get cynical about what is a totally devastating tragedy but the maleness, the youthfulness and the whiteness of the victims are, of course, playing a significant role.”

You are POS. The living embodiment of a sick left-wing mind. A regressive creep. Shut up and crawl back in your ‘progressive’ rat-hole.

The article gets to the heart of this matter with:
“The progressive elites have no idea how ordinary people live or what they think and there are plenty of examples to illustrate this point.”

“Definitely not clicking on your link.”

I am sick of blog/site pimping here. I don’t click links at work... and I only check FR at work. So these useless empty “articles” make FR a total waste of my time.

Western Progressives/Leftists hate white people. Collectively, you white people are an enemy, and thus individually, you deserve no respect or sympathy.

And yes, white western progressives hate themselves.

The fact that a progressive "journalist" openly stated something like this shows how far the media has fallen. They are so unbelievably obsessed with race that they've lost the ability to view things the way normal people view them. This was a newsworthy tragedy, especially in Canada where a good portion of males under the age of 25 ride buses to compete in a sport that they love. The color of the skin is irrelevant - is this some form of white privilege to the average, brain-dead progressive? Pathetic.

Yea, because we wouldn’t want any competition to the New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, etc. etc. etc

Let’s be sure the only ones wth any traffic are liberal owned leftist thinking web sites.

That will teach anyone who dares to challenge the MSM and their lock on news and opinions.

You’re fine to click on Canada Free Press, by the way, it’s the Canadian equivalent of Rush Limbaugh.

But the only factoid not already in evidence from the brief excerpt is that Loreto is not just some random snowflake taking time from her inclusiveness seminar to issue this tweet, she’s a regular contibutor to mainstream Canadian media such as the Globe and Mail and Macleans magazine.

Her tweet makes absolutely zero sense and would resonate with perhaps ten people across the country. This doesn’t get very political in Canada because we have so many goofy political parties here that blame would not rest easily on any single one of them.

It was a good article, you shouldn’t hide from it.
