You'd like to think this kind of stuff blows over in a few days or weeks. But for some people it just doesn't.

Thanks to Rob Ford, we were known as the country of cocaine users. Now maybe we're thought of by some as a country of Nazi sympathizers.

That said, hopefully you're right and this blows over and doesn't cause much damage in the long run. But there's reason to believe it might have a long lasting negative effect.

Holy lord.
