@kds4e Exactly! My first guess about this event that happened in Canada was that it was likely someone from Cameroon in white face who had recently been a stowaway on an ocean liner who had the opportunity to jump ship in San Francisco but opted for Vancouver because of the skiing at nearby Whistler and who holds a grudge against his fellow Muslims.

@kds4e ➡ Good point. But I would bet that it was a Canadian, +/ at least, a landed immigrant. Someone who seems to believe that (S)HE is somehow "better" than these people fleeing war, death, + discrimination. It's a mystery to me , how just because WE won the planet's DNA lottery, that makes us better as human beings , or MORE deserving of living in a place that is safe + in a country of plenty ! PEACE ♥

@Mrs.Grundy's Fear is Scary - Do you think that there are no Muslims with differing views already in Canada. The ME is full of Differing views of Islam, hence ISIS. This is a really big can of worms, and some idiot in Ottawa has taken the lid off. Great work Justin, lots of thought put into your vote buying.

@Mrs.Grundy's Fear is Scary I agree but I will go so far as to say even the anti-Liberal or anti-Conservative comments are divisive. Why can't we just get along, even supporting two different parties we should be able to be civil. Yes, some things done by each party are not what we want but do we have to post negative comments about them.

That is where we completely disagree. A vebal assault designed to instill fear in it's target,and tribal hatred among the mob...is not on equal footing with a civil debate. Where all sides are heard and not shouted down or assaulted physically/verbally.

Spraying pepper spray is not the Canadian way! The country is a peaceful, kind, gentle and at times too welcoming. However, this story suggests those opposed to massive refugee resettlement are not limited to CBC commenters. It shows that not all Canadians are opening their arms to welcome refugees from the Middle East.
Although I disagree with the government's decision on welcoming plane loads of refugees this is not the way to voice your disapproval of the country's actions.

@TC yes, the supporters of terrorists do all they can to encourage the disenfranchisement of a people, and create an "other" to hate and fear. However don't ignore that one of the biggest supporters of terrorism to undermine regimes they don't like, is the Americans. So not too surprising that they are also where a lot of the anti Muslim propaganda (Trump, Site, Pamela Geller etc) comes from.
