"The truth is that today racism, intolerance, xenophobia, and hatred of the other hide behind the sublime façade of free speech, the defence of “our” values and protection of “our” society from “foreign” aggression."
I'm glad at least someone in the media can articulate my views.... and I'm saddened that this view is not more strongly represented in Canada. It's not that I feel let down... I just worry a little bit about my country and its own raging ignorance sometimes. Seriously guys, you can't see the forest for the trees here: pull your head out of your ass and stop exascerbating and start solving the problem... why is that so hard to see?
