Rattlecan ★ Posted November 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted November 12, 2019 I hope I keep missing him. He lives right around the corner from my step daughter and her family, and we sometimes see him out walking the dog dressed in what looks like pajamas. More than once, I've had to dodge him when he was crossing the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame he got canned for one of his more modest racial comments when he’s been making disparaging remarks against Europeans, French Canadians and Russians for close to 40 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two issues. First he focused his criticism at immigrants which is inherently racist seeing that the vast majority of all Canadians, regardless of where they were born, don't wear poppies on remembrance day. He was given the opportunity to keep his job but refused to apologize for his racist remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
