Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I made a short video this morning to mark the anniversary of AW Neill’s first speech in the Parliament of Canada. March 16, 1922. Neill was a white supremacist and especially hated Japanese immigrants. He was a cheerleader not only for exclusion of Asian immigration, but their forced deportation including after internment in WWII.<br>Sound familiar?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/8BQhMdYRQUY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/live/8BQhMdYRQUY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>This morning I found an exchange between him and Prime Minister Mackenzie King. It was on a trade treaty with Belgium, but Neill turned it into a debate about immigration. <br>Sound familiar?</p><p>I mark this day because we still honour this white supremacist with the name of a street in <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/PortAlberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortAlberni</span></a></p><p>The school board removed his name from a school a few years ago — he was also an Indian Agent in charge of Indian Residential Schools in our area — but multiple city councils have not had the courage to do the same with the street.</p><p>Here is his original speech : <a href="https://www.lipad.ca/full/permalink/620136/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lipad.ca/full/permalink/620136</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a></p><p>And here is his debate with Mackenzie King : <a href="https://www.lipad.ca/full/1924/07/11/13/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">lipad.ca/full/1924/07/11/13/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/whitesupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whitesupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <br>cc: @dustindame</p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>Removing some parts from the 1976 Fiat Spider before it is sent to the scrapper on Friday. </p><p>❤️ this car, wanted to restore it and electrify it, but it is just too far gone and restoration these days is ridiculously expensive. Better for the brain and wallet to buy one of many used versions available around for under $10,000 if I want to do that one day. </p><p>But in the meantime this one can be recycled and we can keep some bits to keep the memory of fun times over the past 45 years in our hearts. 💕. </p><p>The cargo rack should make a nice towel rack for the bathroom. :)</p><p>(Picture of the car in the snow is from a few years ago when we got a big snowfall that destroyed the shelter for the car… truly the end of the end for it. It was either build a small greenhouse/garage for it to restore it, or not.)</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/fiat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiat</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/spider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spider</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/portAlberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>portAlberni</span></a></p>
