This is too funny. I was actually at the rally and everyone was having a ball. So when that particular chant went up, everyone started laughing. The mainstream media is SOOOOO gullible it's amazing how stupid they are. As for Mr. Alexander, he tried to change the chant to "vote her out" and in no way encouraged or participated in it. He was smiling because everyone else thought it was a hoot!! Apparently the NDP is easily "offended" but they can "offend" everyone who participated in that Rally. The hypocrisy is unbelievable but expected.
As for the hand-out about immigrants, I don't think the organizers or anyone even knew what they were all about. My brother and I were given one as we were leaving and neither one of us read it; I didn't until I got home and simply tore it up. While I agree that our immigrant policies leave a little to be desired, I am NOT against immigration as was stated in this flyer. I was actually quite appalled by what it contained.
But typical of the NDP and their ilk; of COURSE everyone who attended was an EXTREMIST right-winged idiot which is par for the course. People have lost their jobs and, apparently, when you object to government rules and regulations that might actually prevent jobs from returning, you suddenly become a right-wing extremist.
Wonder what they call the eco-extremists who think nothing of destroying things and rioting? Oh, right - they're being "reasonable" and "righteous" but not extremist. I keep forgetting!!
BTW, that was the most fun I've had in a long time; last time I was at a rally was when Klein was going to close down the Grey Nuns hospital so it was much more serious but we succeeded in keeping it open. After all, it "only" served in excess of 100,000 people at the time!!

How refreshing to read the perspective of someone who attended the rally and wasn't a member of the MSM. Thank you Dixie Cup. I figured it was mostly a bunch of 'sound and fury' from the media, glad to have my thoughts on this validated.
Also glad to hear you had a good time.
