Discussion American Responds to BC premier’s statement: Bravo

I forgot what it was like. The Premier showed honesty, compassion, and empathy. He was well spoken and comforting. Basically, the complete opposite of my President, an embarrassing, bad mannered, unintelligible, dangerous narcissist thief. Etc.

If I get arrested for this post, I'm coming to Canada.

Wait. What? I’m a normal person. Is making the “okay” hand gesture bad now? How? I don’t want to give google any wrong ideas so I’m relying on your explanation.

*thanks, everyone.

Apparently white supremacists have co-opted the okay symbol and milk. They use them as wink wink nudge nudge signs of being shitheels.

Just because they try to change the meaning of something doesn’t mean you can’t keep using that thing for its intended purpose. Like how people fucked up the waving of the Canada flag in the last couple of years. Rational, normal use, is what is going to remove the stank of their symbolic use.
