A CANSEC delegate from Switzerland assaulted a Muslim woman protestor
outside of the EY Centre, requiring her to go to hospital with head
injuries. He proclaimed he was proud of being racist. This post from
@OttawaPYM has those two short videos as well as a description of how
police gave him biased favourable treatment and ensured he was able to
leave the country ASAP.
