Across The Line
multi-culti blinders
Meanwhile, in the ever-so-tooolerant city of T’rron’o;
Patrick Carnegie, [Dundas Square]’s manager of programming and events, said there were rules that governed how the square is to be used, including not belittling any identifiable group and conveying messages only in a positive way.
Free what, now?
The event was promoted in Chinese-language press as a rally to tell the “truth” about Tibet and “safeguard the reunification of the motherland.”
..."China and Chinese people have helped Tibetan people to improve human rights,” said one organizer who spoke in English. “How can somebody who cannot even read or write understand anything about human rights? If they cannot read or write, how can they understand what they have lost in the past in Tibet? People were just blind faith to believe in their religion. They were controlled.”
Another speaker added, “Tibetan culture not only has not been damaged, but has been greatly protected, spread and developed.”
...a Tibetan refugee took to the stage waving a Tibetan flag. He was seized by a group of Chinese who dragged him away before police intervened to separate them. ... Angry Chinese turned on the Tibetan protesters, hollering “Dalai Lama die there!” “Dalai Lama lies!” “Liars, liars!” and “Leave Canada!”
They also sang communist party songs.
...Tibetans say the Chinese rally… was designed to incite hate against them.
More work for the Canadian “Human Rights Commission,” I fear....

I came across a copy of that Epoch Times yesterday. It looks like a pretty good source of news from/about Asia. Check out this photo:
