I just read the story, and it seems to me there are far to may political leaders making racist comments in the "heat of the moment". Obviously he has strong opinions about Jewish people, and he started to rant and they came out. Sure he probably would never had said that if he wasn't in the "heat of the moment" but one cannot tell me that he doesn't think like that, because I truely believe that he does.
While his comments are undoubtly offensive can the really prosicute him for inciting a hatefulful riot? Legally I don't see how they can do anything to him.
As for the Order of Canada, well it's hard to say. Has anyone been removed before? I think it all depends on how otraged the public gets. If it coninues to be an issue in the media and public opinion is for his removal, then I would say he's out. I think it's one of those things that politicians would like to sweep under the rug and if people forget about it it will go away.
