--------Saying that natives are riding a gravy train? That's how it is viewed and is not a racist belief.
-------If their ancestors sold out too cheap it’s not my fault Again. true. It isn't her fault. Or mine.
--------Seems the only group of people universally hated around the world other than the Americans are the french and FRENCH CANADIANS. There is a lot of truth to this statement and again is not racist in nature. French Canadians are not very popular outside of Quebec in many of the palces I have been and Parisienne french folk have been disliked globally for their arrogance for decades
--------“I’m getting so sick of having french stuffed down my throat. Me too. But that doesn't make me a racist.

These are all her comments, Apparently there are more. And that's whats online, Not from what she speaks at home or a friends house. I don't think this type of person should even enter foot in politics. Exactly how do we make the world better, thinking people are any less than us?

Lots of people are "less than us". Equality is a fanciful notion that has no hope of ever becoming main stream.

The Dalai Lama Says...
"I would like to explain the meaning of compassion, which is often misunderstood. Genuine compassion is based NOT on our own projections and expectations, but rather on the rights of the other: irrespective of whether another person is a close friend"

edit, just saw she will be running as an independent

I guess it depends on what substance she has to offer besides her comments that are in the news right now.If that's all she has,I don't see votes coming her way,but I'd listen to what else she had to say

The following is an excerpt from an article on Mary Polak...

“We should be hard on the ideas, not on the people. I might strongly disagree with the way [NDP leader Adrian] Dix would bring about prosperity because I disagree with his methods. But you should be able to talk about ideas. And not have it become this black-and-white argument.”

Maybe Ms Polak should practice what she preaches...

This post confused me. Who is Mike the Beard.

Nothing wrong with brining up subjects..... but her arrogance in the way she brought it up it what is wrong. It was good to see her go. These are sensitive subjects, and ranting on like she did is racism.

“It’s time our generation stopped paying for the mistakes of the past…let us all be one people…THE SAME.. race, creed colour or gender shouldn’t matter anymore in this day and age…enough is enough already.”

This is Daylene's direct quote, how is this rasist or arrogant? Before you posted you should have read what she actually said instead of getting on an uninformed band wagon. It would seem by her comments she is promoting love not hate. Let's note these comments were dug up from a post 4 years ago. So should we dig into the dirt on every candidate's life and read every post and every tweet and every facebook comment they ever made and make dam sure these candidates don't have a mind of their own before we let them run for a party?

I just remember her moaning about a road - like it was important to everyone instead of just her.
She came across as dumb, and her comments about French at the olys lol. Good to see she has a fan club on Castanet. Free koi for everyone!

[samsquench07]

for her not being "Racist" its funny how this picture is circulating around the internet already.

[normaM]

" whatever you want to call it" Ha!

[samsquench07]

True that. Call it racism, or don't call it racism. Not sensitive to other people. I don't need hill billies running our country
