How would he know they're immigrants? I have a feeling the immigrants he visually identified weren't blonde with blue eyes.

I guess he assumed that anyone without a poppy was an immigrant?  I won't jump to the conclusion that he judges by skin colour...   maybe it's implied...   or maybe he thinks this about immigrants from non-Allied/Axis countries...   The Swiss?  The Chinese and the South Africans?  I have no idea what he meant, and I doubt he will elaborate.

I'm just saying that it wasn't a big shock to me.

On a similar vein, I would like all these thousands of people who inundated the Broadcasting Standards Council (CBSC) to listen to the crazy **** spewed by the religious TV and radio programs that are broadcast in Canada.   I think if anyone other than the faithful (and me...   for a laugh) listened to these people, they would be pulled off the air faster than Donald S. Cherry.

There are some complaints....  here's a recent interesting decision:

CHIN is required to: 1) announce the decision, in the following terms, once during peak listening hours within three days following the release of this decision and once more within seven days following the release of this decision during the time period in which the Zelda Young Show was broadcast, but not on the same day as the first mandated announcement; 2) within the fourteen days following the broadcasts of the announcements, to provide written confirmation of the airing of the statement to the complainant who filed the Ruling Request; and 3) at that time, to provide the CBSC with a copy of that written confirmation and with air check copies of the broadcasts of the two announcements which must be made by CHIN.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has found that CHIN breached the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code in its broadcast of the Zelda Young Show on March 24, 2019. The episode contained abusive and unduly discriminatory remarks and unduly negative stereotyping about Muslims, contrary to those codes.
