Alliance Appalled at Assault Against its Youth Members

OKOTOKS - Dr. Grant Hill, Deputy Leader of the Canadian Alliance, expressed disbelief and outrage at today's physical attack at York University against members of the Canadian Alliance.

Several York University students and members of the school's Canadian Alliance campus association were physically assaulted by anti-war demonstrators, while presiding over a club recruitment booth.

Protestors from the demonstration upturned the club's tables, threw club president, Yaakov Roth, over a table and attempted to set the club's flags on fire before stealing them.

"Canada is supposed to be a country of peaceful expression and tolerance. Our fundamental freedoms are violated when self-proclaimed pacifists take it upon themselves to assault strangers because of their perceived political views. This situation is just unconscionable," said Hill.

"National leadership is needed to stop the type of hateful action that took place at York University today. The Prime Minister condoned last week's hateful comments by Toronto-area Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish by neglecting to reprimand her. Excusing hate filled words often leads to the types of violent outbursts seen today," concluded Hill.
