"Whites-only Moms and Tots"

By the time Port Coquitlam resident Syreeta Moore saw the social media posts about a “Whites-only Moms and Tots” group, most of the posters pinned up at bus stops and at shopping malls had been taken down.

But her anger lingered Monday.

“I was really upset because my daughter is 20 years old. This is her community that she was raised in and that sign was a block away from my house,” said Moore.

A group calling itself “White Tri-cities Parents and Tots” posted the signs advertising a play group for mothers and children to “join other proud parents of European children as we create an atmosphere in which our kids feel like they belong.”

Most of them defending it, calling offended parties “woke”, etc. Looks like Canada isn’t much better than here.

Maybe the white moms didn’t want their precious darlings forced to compete
