This policy is racist. Period. It is a form of ethnic cleansing within the confines of the reservation. Yes Aboriginal Canadians have been, and continue to be dealt a crappy hand. But that doesn't change the fact, that anyone protesting this guys presence based on his skin color, is a racist. Regardless of if he has a criminal record or not.

"Ethnic cleansing" is a rather loaded term and it doesn't apply here. They didn't take the guy out and shoot him.
I do agree that the policy is racist.
The OT board is usually pretty rough on violent criminals though. I have to wonder how much outrage there would be if this guy moved into Willow Park and the locals in that community demanded he get out. Would we have the same amount of outrage?
