We should not confuse the moderate nature and tolerance of many Canadians with apathy about racism.  It could be argued that this aspect of our culture has had positive influences-we don't have White Supremists marching in the streets in this country.  Absolutely, we need to call out against racism when we encounter it.  We owe that to each other. But, by encouraging  people to come out and counter protest against racist extremists who demonstrate, we are on a slippery slope toward instigating further violence.
