The NDP’s Grande Prairie-Mackenzie constituency Facebook page became the latest social media flashpoint in the ongoing federal election Monday.
A post, published mid-day by Elroy Deimert, commended supporters for “standing up to ignorance, bigotry and distasteful personal comments” made by “some folks in the Peace.”
The NDP candidate in the riding is Saba Mossagizi, who was born in Edmonton to Ethiopian immigrants.
It continued to say that “some folks in the Peace will forever be trapped in the ignorance of their parents and grandparents ...insidiously directed by their parent-tapes” and “trapped by their environmental determinism.”
The post concluded by encouraging readers to speak up against ignorance and bigotry, saying “Folks have been afraid to speak up against ignorant rednecks for far too long up here.”
It was deleted by 3:30 p.m.
ah yes...
