Two Canadian men were fired from their jobs after one of them used the word ‘Eskimo’ in a private conversation.
The two men were boarding a flight from Labrador to Newfoundland when Dave Beck said the word “Eskimo.”
His friend Thomas Scott responded by asking, “Can you smell him?”
The conversation was overheard by by Innu Nation member and former Labrador MP Peter Penashue and other passengers.
Beck and Scott, who worked primarily as plasterers and painters, had been working on a hotel renovation project overseen by Kankote Enterprises.
“In spite of several years on the job, and being the only two Kankote employees at the remote Churchill falls, both men were fired and had their names dragged through mud – reducing future job prospects,” reports National File.
Beck pleaded for forgiveness in an extremely pathetic manner.
“I know that’s no excuse for the remarks I made, my words that hurt so many people, especially Indigenous people. I’m not a racist. I would say culturally uneducated. Culturally illiterate,” he told CBC.
Perhaps if the two had just blacked up like their Prime Minister instead of using a naughty word, they wouldn’t have got into so much trouble.

America is on the same track for Soviet style persecution of political incorrect speech. As with earlier episodes in history, internment camps and execution squads are the totalitarian methods.
Fascist Canada follows closely the destruction of freedom seen in Britain.
Okay, what is wrong with ‘Eskimo’?....................
Welcome to our cancel culture.
Yeah, but under the table....................
I see what you did there..................
Calling BS - wasn’t the word Eskimo - but ‘Can you smell him’ that got them canned.
There. I said it.
Was stationed in Alaska - near an Indian tribe (Yukon River). You called them Eskimos and you’d get your throat slit. But they knew how to party. lol
We refer to certain people here as Canadian....
It reflects badly on Canada in that they don't tolerate free speech.
This is what it will come to if the Marxists get control of the US.
Eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, eskimo, ad infinitum.
Maybe he forgot to use the French word for “Eskimo”, you know how those Canadians are sticklers for being bilingual.
Yep, before "Amish". I remember as a waiter, we used that term, "Dangit, I just got a bunch of Canadians at my table, well, so much for that tip."
Good thing they didn’t say, retarded Eskimos.
or, homosexual Eskimos ..otherwise, know as Eskimoxexuals.
This brings up the question: Is the classic Bob Dylan song, “Mighty Quinn,” with it’s lyrics about “Quinn the Eskimo,” considered hate speech and banned in Canada?
Not anymore. There used to be two but there is only one now.
Well God forbid that you call them Indians in Canada either.
It’s First Nations, eh?
