One of Canada's most famous right-wing-crackpot activists has given up on his country of birth and is leaving for the Philippines.
Bill Whatcott apparently does not feel at home in a country where universal medicare pays for doctor-referred abortions, gay marriage is legal across the country (and has been for a decade), Fox News Canada went out of business and there is no network of corporate-funded tea parties and right-wing radio enabling crackpots like him to jump fro amateur to well-paid pro.
Whatcott -- in his late 40's -- has made a career out of hate speech and hate literature aimed at homosexuals, women who get abortions and health-care professionals who provide abortions.
The poor man must be crazy envious when he looks south of the Canada-US border and sees people just as nutty as him being elected to Congress and Senate, raising millions of dollars to run for President and getting their own shows on Fox news, while he is repeatedly marginalized in his native land.
Given his lack of support in Canada, I am sure I speak for most Canadians when I say "Don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out."
