I sincerely hope our Canadian news outlets are not going to follow in the footsteps of our American neighbours by giving this woman free advertising to appeal to scared and hateful white people.  I understand that saying shocking things gets clicks, but excessive coverage of someone like her can have very real consequences, and I really hope this doesn't become a habit.  There are many bigots in our country too, and we can not let this election be a rallying cry for them.  In June, when Trump's hateful rhetoric was being covered feverishly by American and Canadian news outlets alike, a man in London ON (wearing a Canada t-shirt) attacked a muslim woman, pulling off her hijab and spitting on her while she was shopping at the grocery store.  I was sick to my stomach yesterday thinking about how validated and excited that repulsive man must have felt.  Do not let sensational statements from MPs get excessive attention, it will not end well.
