On being correct in my assessment.

Oh boy. I thought I had pushed it too far by coming back on this thread. Then things settled down. I saw your post and thought (wrongly) Blue Jays? Must be a Canadian. You have heard of the BLUE JAYS baseball team of course.

I thought here comes a sharp disagreement. Previously, I had lead off on the Province of Ontario, having the gall to interfere with another sovereign state. They had encouraged civil disobedience in Alabama. They had supported Martin Luther King. Ok so far. They then sent men to prison in Ontario. It was for the SAME kind of civil disobedience. My mistake was that the women of Tilco Plastics got $1.47 hourly, not $2.47.

A long digression by me but..... Take the Toronto Star. About three years ago,a Star writer alleged the BLUE JAYS baseball team were cutting down on visible minorities. Headed TORONTO WHITE JAYS. Said they had about 67% white players.

The Toronto Star is one of the main bastions of integration and multi-culture in Canada. A rival newspaper mentioned Toronto Star's executive.

It was 97.5% white.

Hi Peter-

Just as clarification, I'm not from Canada and know nothing of professional baseball! I like birdwatching and consider Blue Jays to be cool and scrappy...thus my FReeper handle.
