Discrimination, racism, is also still rampant in the US, but it is subtle. It's expressed with sly looks, coded comments, and denial. But it is there.

Same thing with my wife, she's driving a Dodge Challenger and they give her dirty looks. When she goes to vote in a local election. They asked her for her driver's license which shows she's in the correct jurisdiction, they then ask her for a second form of ID and she has her business license which also shows her home address and then they asked her for utility bill which she had handy. Her driver's license is a Class 1 or Class A Big Rig drivers license with Advanced certificate. Then they tell her that her name is not on the list and she points it out right there. Reluctantly, the registrar gives her a the voting ballot. Next customer, a white person is only asked for one form of ID and there's cheers from the registrar. You are right, people treat her with disrespect. But if she's Somali, Hispanic from El Salvador, Chile, Argentina or a Filipino, the Canadians will treat them with more respect than their first Nations brethren. It's a sad fact. They did a study that people from the Northwest including Idaho, Utah Montana and Washington may have a propensity to be racist towards indigenous people and this redneck attitude permeates in western Canada. The Mohawks in the East, are more unified than the cree and Blackfoot in the West. My wife tells me of many stories of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Some of them are not druggies and prostitutes but when the police find them, they really don't investigate. When my wife had an aneurysm 4 years ago, the police thought she was drunk because she had vomit all over the place and she was disoriented. It was our two older kids who had the convince them that she does not drink nor do drugs. They didn't take her to the best hospital but they were able to get a CAT scan and they finally took her to the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Alberta. A couple decades ago, natives had their own separate hospital and they were not allowed to come to the white man's Hospital. This is in the city of Edmonton a population of 1 million!

PO3 Bob McCord it was a study and maybe its focus on the inbred Neo Nazis that we're hanging out out in Coeur d'Alene.

PO3 Bob McCord that is good to know! When I was in Idaho with the 116th cab, I couldn't believe it was easy to buy an AR-15 Sporter national match after a 15-minute background check. I know they have your DMV that has a line for concealed carry and line for vehicle registration. I'm sure your schools are safe up there and no idiots going to attack to school. Unlike Jerry Brown in California, who forbid anybody else but law enforcement on campus from carrying weapons. The Science of Stupid is Alive and Well in California. The Wonder is number 49 and 50 states.
Silly naive liberals on the west coast and East Coast not to mention the idiots of Chicago just don't get it about gun control because only the criminals have weapons.
