Dear CBC and assorted book publishers
Forgive me for me being a tad critical, but two things.
One, they are not “anti-immigrant protesters,” CBC. They are white supremacists. Get it right. Wake the Hell up.
Two, as I told Random House, U of T press, House of Anansi, and Simon and Schuster: we have a problem in Canada, and I want to – need to – write a book about the rise of violent anti-immigrant groups in Canada. They said they didn’t think anyone would want to read about it, or it’s “an American problem,” or “we can’t see Costco stocking that.”
They didn’t think there was a problem here, apparently. Fortunately Dundurn had a different view.
What does it mean? It means we are the Great White North, in more ways than one.
Warren,
I agree with you but would add this caveat: in this country it appears from dark to muted shades of grey. You might reply: but what the hell of a difference does that make? And, of course, you would be right again.
