Racism is always so stupid.
For anyone skimming by who doesn't want to rtfa: Edmund Greggains' objection to Skippy's Canada First rally speech is that it had too many ~~not white~~ foreign-sounding names in it. Like Patel and Mohammad.
And here he is in a different rant on the same site getting frothy and self-defensive about coolie labour building Canadian railroads, black folk having to escape slave owners and other racist white industrialists even after escaping to Canada, Sikhs existing in Alberta... And here he is again upset about Brampton.
Basic aggrieved white subject using a precious imagined Canadian White Identity to feel important and embattled; upset at Poilieviere and Danielle Smith for not being racist enough. Trying at the end of OP's linked article to equate the Yankee threat of annexation with all those foreign-sounding names somehow taking over his Canada.
What's funny about his imagined historical Canadian identity is that it always excluded non-Europeans but has always included francophones. Like I think if he learned what "speak white" means his head would explode.
I have it on pretty good authority he literally cried tears of blood after learning about the all the Portuguese colonizing Nfld back in the 1500s. Too swarthy.
