Here's a bit of redemption for you -- my Uncle went to school in Eckville and Jim Keegstra was his teacher. My uncle got kicked out of school there for punching Keegstra in the face. I'm not sure if it was because he was refuting his anti-semitism, or if it was because he was an asshole, but I like to tell myself it was option 1. Racism is alive and well here. The scary part is that this Bullying Minority group is so loud that they make everyone think they actually have a voice. This has been happening throughout history. For a great example, there is a podcast called, Now and Then. It is US based, but the latest episode (Bans, Schools and Power: False Majorities) almost feels like it was written for Canada. If you have an hour, it is worth a listen.
It is appalling how this willful ignotance continues today and seems to be growing. You would think with so much information available at your fingertips, you'd have to be the most stupid person on the planet to believe any of the racist drivel these assholes spew. Thanks for staying on your soapbox. Silence is a form of complicity.

Iām keeping this to email out to anyone who tries to tell me JP is relevant.

Thank you for that!
Thanks for this. Now I can go slaughter a sacred cow for a few acquaintances here in Oz who think he's ok.
I am still mad at myself for not punching a few people who desperately needed it over my lifetime too
