I discussed this over breakfast with a friend who is Canadian and brown. Not that he speaks for all brown people, or all Canadians, or all brown Canadians, but he thinks this whole thing is nonsense.
If people pay heed to this, Canada is going to end up with Scheer, who truly does not care about others' feelings.
This is Canada's "Hillary email moment." I hope you survive it.
