| Ted White Tries to Silence his Critics through Law Suits |

I posted the following comment on election prediction project's webpage. Ted White: "At least 40% of all the Iranians living there are refugee claimants. Most of them are bogus." Someone else described White's comment as "racist" and said the Iranian community would not be voting for Ted White. This appeared on the board today. http://electionprediction .org... "Mr. Ted White has threatened legal action against Election Prediction Project for publishing submissions that asserted certain opinion on Mr. White’s comment on the Iranian Community. While we disagree with Mr. White’s (and his lawyer’s) point that those comment constitute defamation, as a volunteer-run project, we are in no position to fight a legal case. Thus, upon consideration, we hava decided to comply to Mr. White demand, and hereby APOLOGIZE, and remove all those submissions. We would state without reservation that Election Prediction Project does not have or care to have a position regarding whether Mr. White is a racist. We would like to publish the following excerpt from Hansard of the House of Commons. March 31, 2003 - Mr. Ted White (North Vancouver, Canadian Alliance): "My riding has the largest Iranian population in the country. At least 40% of all the Iranians living there are refugee claimants. Most of them are bogus." "They see all these, and I am sorry to use the word, scumbags who come in using our refugee laws and claiming refugee status just so they can be criminals here." I found an old North Shore News article about the 1997 race. Ted White did not want his past discussed back then either. "Kinsella ... challenged White to a debate: "If he's (White) such a believer in free speech and free debate, why don't we have a debate about his involvement in a party that refers to people from the Third World as 'degenerates'. Reached at his campaign headquarters and told of Kinsella's debate challenge, White said that his involvement in the WCC was known to North Vancouver voters prior to the last federal election. 'The people of North Vancouver have already heard the debate and they've made it quite clear which side they're on,' White said. 'I'd see a debate as a complete waste of time.'" |
