Thank you for your kind words.

I distinguish between the ‘right’ on one hand and the anti-immigrant racist right. I certainly do not mean the conservative aspect of Canadian political hue is racist or anti-immigrant.

Take for instance Mulroney and Trudeau. In Trudeau’s last year as PM, only 94,000 immigrants were allowed to enter Canada, while Mulroney for all his faults opened the doors to 250,000 immigrants into Canada in 1987 (the year I arrived).

Having said that there is no denying that every time the Islamists do what they do best, many right-wing blogs clamour for a tightened immigration policy, not realizing that most of these guys waging jihad are of the born-in-Canada variety.

Despite the fact I am a Liberal, I admire Jason Kenney and support his policies on immigration and ‘Canadian Identity’.

It is very difficult to play the right-left game and in retrospect, I should not have said “racist-right”, but restricted the label to just “racist”, after all there are plenty of them in the NDP.
