Agreed. And its more than unsavoury and disingenuous, I think, because of the way First Nations poverty is being used as a trump card. Feels like appropriation of other people's pain to score points in an internet argument. An argument that nice Cdn cottages shouldn't be called shacks, for fuck's sake. Off the scale inappropriate.
