The Christie Pits Riot occurred on 16 August 1933 in Toronto. It remains one of the worst outbreaks of ethnic violence in Canadian history with over 10,000 participants and spectators. The riot was sparked by Nazi-inspired youth flying a swastika flag at a public baseball game to antagonize and provoke Jewish Canadians.
Justin Trudeau has been the most divisive Prime Minister in Canadian history. He has turned Canadian on Canadian in so many different ways. He has demonized the Energy Sector, alienated the West, denigrated "Old Stock European" families, condemned Canadians of Genocide, told Veterans that they are asking for more than the Government can give, called workers wearing safety vests rapists, and the list goes on. In stead of building the nation, he seems set on destroying it, claiming that there is no Canadian culture.What is new is a Prime Minister who fails to consider second/third order effects when tries to score cheap foreign policy points in the House of Commons.
Instead of tamping down Khalistani and Hindu Nationalism in Canada, he has inflamed it.

The Circus Riot is almost forgotten today, but it is easily one of the wildest stories in Toronto's history.
It was the largest riot in the city's history and one of the largest anti-Greek riots in the world.
Greeks weren’t welcome in a lot of places back then. I remember my grandfather telling me how he left Greece for a better life in the U.S. This was probably about a year or two after the 1918 riots that took place in Toronto. One of his first jobs was working on a railroad section (mainly Greek) crew out in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. He said how people in some of the small towns fired weapons at them to keep the foreigners out of their town.Toronto's anti-Greek riot.
