calgary mp: Ms, according to Huffington Post Canada. Leitch is playing divisive politics, and the consequences can be seen in America, where in the last two weeks three innocent people were shot or killed, because they were seen as immigrants, said Obhrai, who is of South Asian descent and immigrated to Canada from Tanzania in 1977.

This is a dangerous environment to create in Canada, and I am outraged by this.
