Absolutely. And I get that it’s a safe place to talk about it with like minded people. It still bugs me a bit that it’s ramping up to overtake the famed “trade Burrows” thread. Yes I’m probably overreacting - but there has been some great topics the past two months and I’m surprised at the lack of participation. For example AJs top 50 Greatest All-Time Canucks ... maybe 50 CDCers contributed on a regular basis... why not participate? Just trying to make a point - it’s a hockey site why don’t we focus a little more on that. Lots we can talk about that has nothing to do with COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to laugh because I work at a moderately low socioeconomic school, but with very interactive parents and very respectful, thoughtful kids etc, and we are getting less than a quarter of our students back. One of the other schools that feeds into the same high school has a much higher socioeconomic demographic and super douchey parents and grossly entitled kids and well over half of them are sending kids back. They can't wait to get rid of their kids Lots of "Karen's" in that parent group Edited May 22, 2020 by stawns 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard for me to imagine living with this kind of terror all the time. While I know how it feels to be "other," it is another feeling entirely to be afraid. I have always stood with my Latino and African American friends. Now I understand them just a little better and my hope is that my work will help all of our viewers -- black, white, brown, or Asian -- come to the same understanding. ************** I'm reminded back in my University years when discussing USA and Canada being a big melting pot where people of different color/background/ethics can co-exist. I remember saying that while the majority of people will be civil to one another (regardless of ethnicity), there will always be pockets of hate. Sad that I was right. America gonna America. Doesnt help that tensions are high currently between USA and China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA any fool that looks at your skin colour and has a reaction is their problem and I actually feel a little sorry for them. We are ALL from a foreign country- it’s also what makes our country the best one in the world. I can guarantee that who I associate with would never ever think that way. Don’t forget these little “pockets of hate” as you said are definitely in the minority. I train Mauy Thai, and before Tae-Kwon-Do and before that Karate. Will always be grateful that the masters that came over from Japan, Korea and Thailand have made that possible. We all have much to learn from each other. Small minded people maybe get in the way sometimes. And sometimes small minded people are in positions of power too (Trump). Just remember that for everyone of those guys there are hundreds of others that would be happy to know you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes and Pettersson are #1 overall picks, in they’re respective Drafts. So yeah we did win the NHL Lottery twice, in my mind. Cheers buds!
