Unfortunately the media coverage we see is primarily focused on the "alt-right" agitators and the "alt-left" social justice warriors.  I think the vast majority of Canadians are normal, well-informed people that don't affiliate with those two extreme positions and are frustrated with the rising rhetoric and hyperbole.  I consider a well-informed Canadian the type of person that would stand up for someone or a group that is being mistreated in the moment (we've seen this happen), but not someone that would attend protests or counter protests for the sake of media coverage to advance a certain cause.  I think it is the type of person that when hearing a racist rant, either privately, or publicly, would simply disassociate with that individual or group, rather than try to pick a fight or argue with someone with deeply ingrained hate.  Tina Fey was right, let's not protest the protestors, create more confrontation, and further fuel the cycle.  Let's just be good supportive citizens.
