Thomas Mulcair: Mulcair

Conrad Black Dept: Shame on NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, for not only making it seem otherwise, but for pathetically playing the race card when he compared Black's case to that of a black man, Gary Free-man, who has been refused re-entry to Canada because he pleaded guilty to shooting a police officer in the arm in 1969, according to Vancouver Sun. Race has nothing to do with it, and it is appalling that Mulcair would stoop so low as to claim it does and in allowing Conrad Black to return to Canada after he leaves a Florida prison, the federal government is doing nothing out of the ordinary and is not according Black special treatment. "It's a clear case of a double standard, one for an American black man from Chicago, another for a British white man coming out of federal penitentiary," Mulcair said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
