And this is why we love Don Davies #ferguson #raciscm #Canada #equality #justice #diversity #inclusion #multiculturalism Read or watch Don Davies statement below: Today in the House of Commons I delivered this statement condemning the racist words and actions of Immigration Watch Canada: Mr. Speaker, Canadians have been watching with deep concern the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri. They remind us that racism and intolerance still exist, and that we must be vigilant in our quest for a society of equality and justice. Unfortunately, Canada is not immune to these negative forces. In Richmond, British Columbia, an organization called Immigration Watch Canada recently put up a sign at a major intersection that said “Fight Gridlock: Cut Immigration”. Worse, this group’s spokesperson stated that there are “too many immigrants living in Richmond who are making it unbearable for the existing European residents”. With thinly-veiled prejudice, he is calling for Canada to slash immigration levels by 90%, and threatening further provocative actions. Canada is a nation of immigrants from all over the world, and our country was and is built on the contributions of us all. We are also a society who prizes acceptance, equality and respect for every resident regardless of origin. I ask all Members of this House to join me in condemning this racist group and its unacceptable behaviour. Canada is for ALL no matter from where we come..
