Comments on: Some Antisemitism is fine in “human rights” Canada http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2008/08/17/some-antisemitism-is-fine-in-human-rights-canada/ Beating Them With Their Own Sickle And Hammer Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:24:34 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Sigmund Froyd http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2008/08/17/some-antisemitism-is-fine-in-human-rights-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-94306 Sigmund Froyd Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:01:48 +0000 http://www.stoptheaclu.com/?p=10272#comment-94306 Years ago, when I worked in the human rights sector, it was held as de facto point-of-fact that if you scratch a Canadian, you find an anti-francophone; scratch again, and you discover an anti-Semite. Nothing in the decades since has disproved the veracity of this somewhat ugly fact of Canadian life. The world's most sanctimonious population - Canadians - are dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semites - always have been, still are, and likely will remain so. It's Canada's "secret shame" - along with a persistent inability to talk about the elephant in the room. That is why Canada has always been a second-rate nation of also-rans - always has been, still is, and is condemned to remain so. You notice these things if you step out of the benighted "Canadian context" every once in a while for reasons other than "entertainment" and vacations.
