#Canada isn't actually very 'nice':

"Hate crimes targeting people because of their sexual orientation were at record highs in 2021, with 423 #HateCrimes recorded, above the previous peak of 265 in 2019, according to Statistics Canada. Crimes targeting people because of their race, gender or religion as a whole also broke record highs, jumping to 3,360 in 2021 from 2,646 incidents in 2020, a 27 per cent increase. That comes after a 36 per cent increase in 2020."

@msquebanh "Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly, and focused on happier things than 'politics'. They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren't nice people? Resisters." — Naomi Shulman

Niceness is overrated; kindness is what we need.
