Calgary Social Services: "Anti-racist? We'll take your kids!"
http://drdawgsblawg.blogspot.com/2010/11/calgary-social-services-anti-racist.html

"Early this morning, five thugs broke into the home of anti-racist activists Jason and Bonnie Devine. Their four children were asleep upstairs. The goons attacked Jason and another male with hammers and bats.

The Devines are well-known in the area for their anti-Nazi activities, which most recently included leafleting an area where "Aryan Guard" members were known to hang out.

The children were not harmed--no doubt the brave Nazis were unaware that they were upstairs sleeping.

Enter Calgary Social Services.

Unbelievably, they are threatening to apprehend the Devine children unless the Devines stop their anti-racist activity.

..."

Well, I guess the US isn't the only place where bizarro right wing crap gets priority.

WOW!

3. The city of Calgary has more people than the state of Montana.
Nevermind that there is no excuse for such crap, period.

5. Yes but did you know that when the trans Canada Railway was built through Alberta
in the 1880s there was a large immigration of Americans
from Montana and the Dakotas because of homesteads offered
to immigrants by the Canadian government. It's no accident
that Alberta is known as the most 'American' province.

All of Canada's most reactionary Conservatives come from
Alberta and Eastern Saskatchewan.

Calgary is like Billings only with younger and prettier
women.

6. That was a long time ago.
Most of the world was like that then.

What's the excuse now?

And BIllings isn't all that bad in this day and age.

7. Nobody's making excuses. Social services in Calgary is overstepping

just like they do everywhere in Canada. When
in doubt or you're afraid to deal with the real
problem, 'Skinhead Nazis in Calgary', seize the
kids. Even though the parents have done nothing
wrong.

I think the parents have some right wing enemies
in the Alberta Government that would like to shut
them up.
