Was Racist Geert Wilders Booked Into The National Arts Centre Under False Pretenses?

When asked why the centre would give someone like Mr. Wilders a podium, spokeswoman Rosemary Thompson said the NAC was unaware of who would be gracing its stage when the event was booked.

“The way this started was that the International Free Press Society called the catering department about a month ago and said that they had a Dutch MP coming to Canada for a speaking tour and that it was part of the Tulip Festival,” Ms. Thompson said, stressing the centre was not sponsoring the event

Suffice to say, the "Bleached Führer" is not on the Tulip Fest schedule.  I think the IFPS guys just bullshitted to ease things along, but I've emailed the festival for a confirmation.
