Other than the following, seemingly qualified, post

And when and if the perps are caught they should face the harshest penalties allowed under Canadian Law. At the same time you will have to excuse me if I have this gut feeling that the timing of the vandalism is suspicious. The day before National Aboriginal Day when it would get maximum press coverage

The Canadian blogosphere remains quiet.

It’s inevitable, and linked to the discussion we had a few weeks ago about what happens when cultures begin to tolerate, or even endorse, hate. It’s become fashionable in many circles - de rigueur, in fact - to embrace hate. Unfortunately, hatred never stays neatly in one little box.

Both sides benefit? I guess its like burglary. Both the burgler who makes off with the goods and the person whose home has been violated benefits, right? Or like sexual assault? What’s good for the raper is good for the victim? Yes, swastikas on a native cultural centre is a win-win situation.

Imagine that, a moderated blog, such a pain in the arse to try and carry on a conversation in. But it is plain where s/he’s going with the idea - as I just said over there

Ah… I see where you’re going with this now, a ’round about way of saying “maybe they did it to themselves to get some media attention”.

Can you imagine what that sort of thinking would get you if it was uttered in relation to some swastikas splashed across the walls of other ethnic community centre?

No kidding,not only that can you imagine the uproar if this had been another ethnic group’s building.But then they are only “Indians”

That’s appalling! I’ve been busy working late on a gone-badly-sidewise s/w implementation and just saw this.

I hope they catch whoever did it and subject him/her/them to the same treatment the guy peeing on the memorial in Ottawa got, and then some.
