Voiceonline.com: Is the RCMP doing enough to stop hate propaganda by scumbags?

IN FOCUS WITH RATTAN

#3. Is the RCMP doing enough to stop hate propaganda by scumbags?

What on earth are the Mounties doing about incidents of hate crime against Indo-Canadians and other minorities? The latest racist incident against Indo-Canadians, Jews and gays took place in Langley and the RCMP kept it a secret until someone who also received the hate material in their mailbox contacted the media last weekend. Why didn't the Langley RCMP inform the media so that other victims could come forward. WHY? Decent white Langley residents expressed their disgust at the flyers that denounce mixed race marriages, homosexuality and minorities. Langley RCMP told the local media that there had been some complaints about the hate flyers and claimed that this material had first been distributed throughout that city and was now being distributed in the township. Meanwhile, the Canadian Jewish Congress strongly condemned extremist literature that has been distributed in the Fraser Valley. It said it had spoken about the flyers with police, who say their content targets immigrants and immigration. They also say the flyers appear to originate from a Virginia-based white supremacist group. Police have not yet identified those responsible for distributing the material locally. "All non-Aboriginal Canadians are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, which makes this extreme anti-immigration material seem quite absurd," said MARK WEINTRAUB, Chair of Canadian Jewish Congress, Pacific Region. "The danger lies in the fact that this type of clearly mean-spirited attack exploits ignorance and pre-existing prejudice," he added. Weintraub noted that it is also distressing that the materials appear also to highlight a hate-based Internet site. He said the provincial Hate Crime Team will investigate to conclude whether the flyers promote hate and will determine charges under the Criminal Code accordingly. "I am proud that here in Canada we have established a culture of respect for diversity. We cannot permit those with ignorant minds and hard hearts to harm our fellow Canadians. CJC, Pacific Region, is confident that the police will identify the perpetrators in this case, and that they will be dealt with appropriately under the law," he said. Well, let's wait and see what the RCMP do in this case.
