Ugly bigotry masquerading as religion, but bigotry nevertheless.
a 35-second advertisement that aired on the Canadian Tamil Broadcasting Corporation (CTBC) during a program hosted by a local church called the Miracle Family Temple. The apparently paid advertisement features two people discussing who to vote for in the Toronto election.
“What kind of question is this?” one of the characters says. “I am Tamil. We have a religion and culture. Take Rob Ford: His wife is a woman.”
Yup, that's the kind of shit that's been brought to the surface in this election.
The candidate’s marriage was also the target of smear flyers affixed to some of his lawn signs on the Danforth and in the Beaches.
The flyers featured photos of Mr. Smitherman and Mr. Peloso and read “Should Muslim vote for him who married a man?”
