Winnipeg Free Press: A small-town Ontario restaurant owner says he was "blown away" when a person in Ku Klux Klan robes leading a man in blackface by a rope was awarded first prize at a Royal Canadian Legion Halloween party.
"When I saw it and put down my beer and left and was walking out -- I never felt as alone as I have in my life," Mark Andrade said of the troubling spectacle he witnessed at a Campbellford, Ont., legion on Saturday night.
Andrade, who is black, said he arrived at the legion for a beer with friends at about 11:30 p.m.
On February 8, 2010, he was relieved as the base commander at CFB Trenton due to criminal charges. He was formally charged by the Crown Attorney pursuant to provisions set forth in the Criminal Code of Canada on evidence collected by the Ontario Provincial Police with two counts of first-degree murder along with two counts offorcible confinement and two counts of breaking and entering and sexual assault;[4] another 82 charges relating to breaking and entry were subsequently added.[5] On October 21, 2010, Williams was sentenced to two life sentences for first-degree murder, two 10-year sentences for other sexual assaults, two 10-year sentences for forcible confinement and 82 one-year sentences for burglary; all the sentences will be served concurrently at Kingston Penitentiary.
