There must be something more to this story. was it a clandestine meeting? Nobody would attend a memorial for a lawyer.
When the radio talking head asked a city councilor(who opposed the memorial at the library) if he would refuse usage of the public space to Black Lives Matter, he received no coherent response. Some racists are more deserving than the other, I guess.
Really? Well I hope that at least some people who aren't family will attend my funeral.
Wow this is a tough one. While I don't believe in supporting people like that lawyer I think a library should be open to all people.
Unfortunately, a meeting in German makes it difficult to tell if anything objectionable was said.
Although, I gotta say it is creepy to think a bunch of germans got together to celebrate a lawyer who fought for racists.
IF they were celebrating this woman's life why didn't they do it in English.... did only germans come out for this?

Not on this particular issue but I had a conversation with one of the library staff a while back and she said there are some people who want certain books banned. She said that banning books is the "slippery slope". (Didn't they burn books in Nazi Germany?)
Again, should a public library financed by the taxpayers be allowed to "pick and choose" who is allowed to rent space and/or enter?
It an event that sold tickets featuring key white supremacists as speakers. In my mind both are inappropriate in a publicly discounted space in Canada's most multicultural city.
You wouldn't hear a peep from any of the apologists on the Board if it was Al Qaeda or ISIS or Boko holding a meeting in the library.
i dont think a pedophile group should have a meeting beside the childrens book.
banning a book fro. a library is not the same as banning access..... people coul still buy the books.
Years ago some classics like catcher and the rye and Huck finn were banned from some schools in the US...... if there is a slippery slope it is not very steep.
By the way a slippery slope is used to invalidate an argument not support it.
You would have no problem with them renting to radical jihadists.
