A courageous man writes about black fear of being labeled by other blacks. Terms like “Uncle Tom” and “House Negro” are sadly compelling epithets used by radical blacks. They tend to stick just the way the word “racist” does on a white person regardless of whether it’s baloney. CBC

More than 100 British Columbia RCMP officers put on a spectacular display to help celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Dressed in their red tunics, the officers of the Lower Mainland detachment stood shoulder-to-shoulder on North Vancouver’s Capilano Suspension Bridge to create this dramatic tribute. Originally built in 1889, the bridge above the Capilano River stretched 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) over the water. Since then it has been much been rebuilt but is still a workout to cross and subject to wind.
Premier Wynne has spoken of her pride at seeing her daughter Maggie Cowperthwaite graduate in the collaborative nursing class of 2017 at Ryerson University. In remarks to the school Saturday Wynne was brimming with pride at the “considerable risk” and “extraordinary determination” of her daughter to return to school at the age of 33 to complete this course. As recorded by Robert Benzie in the Star the Premier avoided politics but revealed the well-known toughness that marks her reign at Queen’s Park. She told the class not to let naysayers bog them down. “There will always be people seeking to exaggerate the dangers of a future we can only guess at. Those who tell us we will have less, share less, feel less secure, that the best days are behind us. They are wrong,” she said.
POLITICAL PARALLEL
Politically aware listeners would not miss the parallel to those in her own party who worry about entering the next election campaign with Kathleen Wynne as leader. “There is no limit to what you can do and say and discover tomorrow, and it doesn’t matter that none of us can see that far forward. We can look back — to when we granted women the vote or created universal health care, or legalized same-sex marriage,” the premier said. “Each time, there were people saying: ‘Those are the rules. They can’t change.’ But the thing is, they already had, because there were people who were so determined to make that change happen,” said Wynne.
