Bob Ringma: The Prime Minister should speak up sooner rather than later, according to Huffington Post Canada. When Conservative MP John Williamson cites how "whities" are staying home and being replaced by "brown people" as temporary foreign workers, we should all be alarmed and dismayed. Yet, that is what is happening within the Conservative Party of Canada and the leader of the party should put an end to it. His racist words are comparable to what one-time Reform MP Bob Ringma, who once told a reporter "he would fire or 'move to the back of the shop' a homosexual or member of an ethnic minority whose presence turned off bigoted customers." Remember what these kinds of statements did to the old Reform party of Preston Manning Another MP, Larry Miller, who once used Hitler and the Nazis as references to oppose the gun registry, also recently made a dumb comment about how prospective Canadians should "stay the hell where you came from" if they prefer to wear a niqab during a Canadian citizenship ceremony. After all, it gives an impression to the world that we've become a cowboy-like country. What was said should worry all of us no matter our perspective on the subject and force us to wonder about the extremism and stupidity that still exists in our politics.
