I've seen insitutionalised racism more in big cities in both UK/Eire and Canada..It's more a nebulous "Us vs Them" in large towns/cities, while in smaller towns , it's more personal.
Neither Marie from Marseille nor Xavier from Martinique are considered French enough for the town I live in ...but I am acceptable for some reason even though I watch BBC News, fangirl over Dr Who and play English Heavy Metal loud enough to shake my windows..And my French tends towards an O'level pass..rather than a fluent spiel.
Short answer : no Long answer : NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Bingo.....ding ding ding. How many times have you heard people say they are moving because they can't stand those people (read: people that don't look like them). I think when most people that have issues with immigrants complain, their main beef / grudge / xenophobia is with the visible minorities. I mean if you are going to play the "people who's culture / values / ways of life clashes with ours" card....how does "Canadian culture" the same with say
- the Jewish culture
- Eastern European culture (which is different western European culture)
- Aus/ NZ culture
- Spanish culture (e.g. bull fighting)
It's all BS and lets not try and pull a wool over anyone's eyes and call as it is, immigration won't be an issue if it was all majority looking types coming here which a lot do even from the US).
I mean why is Donald Trump gaining ground? It is because he is playing into the hands of the gullible / uneducated / KKK types who like to blame minority looking immigrants.

And another candidate is pulled for social media posts, this time a liberal.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cana...tion-1.3230350
So that's 3 Liberals, 5 Conservatives and 2 NDP. I wonder how many more there'll be.

I think I can happily predict the Bloc will get no seats , ok I already said it before but I just love the thought of it.

I got the numbers from CBC Radio a few minutes ago - 3,5,1. They didn't mention the Bloc but I definitely remember the NDP candidate who had to step down because she told someone on twitter or instagram or whatever that their mother should have aborted them with a coat hangar. She was one of the first ones to go.
Edit: And I think CBC Radio was talking only about candidates standing for election, not staffers or others associated with various campaigns.Last edited by DaveP; Wed, Sep 16th, 2015 at 06:47 PM.

I thought the Bloc candidate just apologized and is still running?

gryphon posted a piece on the Leap Manifesto - and I'm surprized there has been no commentary on it so far.
The website, where you can read the document
https://leapmanifesto.org/en/the-lea...ifesto-content
Mulcair has been trying to come across as centrist/moderate - but he's not giving the hardline of what he and the NDP really stand for - socialism, Communism, Marxism, left-left-left.
After all, the NDP is based on the Regina Manifesto (issued by CCF)
