He's apologized now. I think it's a fairly adequate apology.
Interesting that the subject of his talk was the changes to the Indian Act, so obviously Idle No More people would go to hear it, since the movement started in reaction against the legislation.
The @$$h*!3 that gave us the politics of character assassination and undermining parliament assassinated himself...I don't think I'll shed too many tears over that one.
Well, I would rather see him taken down for writing dishonest badly researched bigoted crap about First Nations, but that didn't happen. Instead he won some rightwing book prize for his bilge.
It's kind of like Al Capone being taken down for tax evasion; you're glad they got him, but what about all the other stuff he pulled.
Is it a coincidence one of the first 'running to his defence' happens to be a member of the Bohemian Club widely criticised for their possible connections to child sexual abuse? "Barry Cooper, a colleague at the University of Calgary, says people need to debate taboo topics"
"Dr. Barry Cooper—a professor of political science at the University of Calgary and mentor of Stephen Harper—joined The Corbett Report yesterday to talk about free speech, Leo Strauss, and his membership in an elite secret society known as The Bohemian Club."
"Bohemian Grove – Playground of the Pedophile Elite".

As of June 30th Flanagan can return to Ottawa, Illinois from whence he sprang. The slug.
ReplyDeleteHolly you are too generous with your enemies. Letting them off the hook, especially a repeated hook as heinous as this one, is a tactical mistake.
Flanagan took down Flanagan. I think INM just did their revolutionary duty and film him firing himself.
