So now you are saying that the Scottish are racist? I'm also 1/2 Scottish. (Joke).
First off, those Heritage Front members were kicked out of the party when they disclosed their membership in that organization.
Second, the party that is furthest to the extremes (and that doesn't mean extremist), will always get the the whackos. This is a problem faced by many groups, especially Christians, as anyone can say that they are a member, and the group has no control over this (except for a lawsuit). Look at Spen Robinson(sp?) and the NDP. The Alliance's only real policy at this time is fiscal conservatism, dispite what some of it's members believe. As a social liberal, I will still vote for them as they are the lesser of five evils.
BTW, Canada does have an immigration problem. We do not get enough legal immigrants to fill our quotas, and we are the first stop on the trip from China to NYC sweat shops.
I don't want any Alberta racist rednecks running my country and destroying everything it stands for just to become more like the US.
You prove yourself a hypocrite with this statement. You are doing the exact same thing towards western Canadians that you are accusing us of doing towards visual minorities.
There are far more hate groups such as the Heritage Front in Ontario and Eastern Canada than there are from Manitoba east.
As for us Alberta hicks, a good 90% of the population lives in two large cities, having nothing to do with the farmers and ranchers that produce most of the food that you eat, but thank you for the stereotypical comments.
The biggest problem in Canada is that we have only rep by pop in such a diverse country. Our prime minister is the only person in the government with real power and the largest region can easily select the PM who is most friendly towards them. The Alliance or whatever their name du jour is, will actually represent Western Canada. I will vote for them and I am far from a racist.
