A sitting Conservative MP and the Premier have been recorded as making some pretty offensive statements against gay people and mocking Ukrainians; it will be all over the news tonight. And then we have Chief Ahenakew who is still playing peek-a-boo with the FSIN about his racist remarks about Jewish people being a disease and needing to be wiped out.
What is it about Saskatchewan? If I remeber my history correctly they all but welcomed the KKK with open arms when they were on a membership drive in the thirties and forties.Of course the Klansmen ran off with all the money and left the poor rubes sitting in the dark.
The predecessor of the current MP in hot water got the boot from Harper a few years ago for similiar homophobic remarks, so it seems more than a one-time issue.

Racists and homophobes and the ignorant and stupid are everywhere. Saskatchewan's just had a few of the noisier ones in the news lately.

Quoting Dexter Sinister
That is indeed the truth Dexter.
Racists and homophobes and the ignorant and stupid are everywhere.
