Historically, most Canadians have considered themselves to be more or less free of racial prejudice. Although we have the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms but this majority Canadian conception has been challenged many times in history and in recent years. Words like racism, hatred and discrimination are no strange words for people belonging to visible minorities who are now living here for more than 100 years.
For the first time in over 10 years, neo-nazis are attempting to hold a 'white pride' march in the streets of Vancouver. This march will take place on Sunday, March 21st, which is also the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Anti-Racist and Civil Liberties groups are seeking for detailed information but so far it appears that the 'White Pride' event will start from/near New Westminster Sky Train station at 11.00 AM on 21st March. Different organizations and individuals have planned a Multicultural Pride march in direct opposition, at the same time and location.
