Greeks in Toronto Against Bob Rae

According to a letter sent by the chairman of the Greek Community of Toronto, Nikonas Georgakopoulos, the Community expresses a strong opposition to the temporary leader of the Liberal Party, Bob Rae, due to the salutation of the Independence day of Fyrom as Democracy Day of Macedonia.

According to the letter, many Greeks are very disappointed and have become against Bob Rae.

It seemed that the leader of the Liberal Party did not take into account Canada’s recognition of Skopia under its temporary name as FYROM.

Many citizens of Greek origin have uploaded posts on the website of the Liberal Party, denouncing the statement from its temporary leader.

    Bob Rae also angered the Armenian Community when his backers referred to the Armenian Genocide as controversial. Very Ironic since some of his backers support Holocaust denial laws of the world war ii genocide committed by Germans & Bulgarian/FYROM soldiers.

    Incorrect journalism. The government of Canada in September 2007 recognized Macedonia as Republic of Macedonia.
    You can believe Greek Reporter or the Canadian Gov’t website.

    Vast majority of Scholars in the fields of Archeology, Genetics, History, Biblical Studies, Linguistics etc.  fully side with the Greek position on Macedonia.  Crooked politics, communist propaganda and Skopje genocide does not change historical facts.

    You are totally wrong.  Canada has recognized the Republic of Macedonia under its constitutional name “Republic of Macedonia”.  Learn how to check facts.
