    Racism is always so stupid.

    For anyone skimming by who doesn’t want to rtfa: Edmund Greggains’ objection to Skippy’s Canada First rally speech is that it had too many not white foreign-sounding names in it. Like Patel and Mohammad.

    And here he is in a different rant on the same site getting frothy and self-defensive about coolie labour building Canadian railroads, black folk having to escape slave owners and other racist white industrialists even after escaping to Canada, Sikhs existing in Alberta… And here he is again upset about Brampton.

Trying at the end of OP’s linked article to equate the Yankee threat of annexation with all those foreign-sounding names somehow taking over his Canada.

    Only through acknowledging this will we be able to fight off mass immigration, restore our hereditary culture, and safeguard the future of a Canadian people and state.

        I have it on pretty good authority he literally cried tears of blood after learning about the all the Portuguese colonizing Nfld back in the 1500s. Too swarthy.
