      His son moved to saskatoon Saskatchewan.
      Kevin Julie and Rupert moved there to join him.
      I've met him twice at the Nutana legion.
      He's very involved there.
      He is the real deal. Always switched on!

      @@fredoriagaming4466 because historians who are passionate, and animated can communicate effectively, like an entertainer, but with facts.
      Dr Neil Degrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist. Most scientific professionals are absolutely horrible when it comes to social interaction. Dr Tyson however, explains things in a way that is educational, but are understandable and relatable to the common folk. Hes a communicator, just like Mr. Hicks.

      What's your issue with it (integration)?
      *_"There is NO integration the UK is now the home of parallel societies"_*
      That's just a claim, and quite the dubious one at that. What's your argument for that?
      *_" And yes, by voting for leftist parties you are WILLINGLY giving away your heritage. You are culprits"_*
      Again, another baseless assertion, no argument provided. You're just asserting, disingenuously, might I add, that these parties are "willingly giving away" one's heritage. No one is doing that, you're misusing language to suit your agenda. Can you stop being a dishonest sack of shit, and actually present a case, or at the very least drop the dishonest framing?
      *_"If you think there is nothing wrong with the parent culture (white people) getting pushed out and becoming the minority in the CAPITOL then I don't know what to tell you. Your kids will likely see Shariah implemented, well done"_*
      "Parent culture" -- What the fuck does that even mean? Being white is now some type of culture? Are you seriously this fucking demented?
      Why does the skin matter to you so much? Shouldn't the values be important, or are your motives rooted in an emotional plea?
      How about this, answer this question to me: Why are you so paranoid if people are not the same colour (skin) as you? Even if those people, hypothetically, are akin to you with respect to values/norms?
      That last part about Shariah is so laughably absurd. Please tell me you aren't serious, I'd like to give you the benefit of doubt.
      Your clip shows one mosque, one of many thousands. To infer from this that it's true of the whole, or on mass, would be fallacious. Why are you taking that one clip, at least of those radical teachings, and making it about "they"?
      You're just being an overtly paranoid sheep, and making fallacious leaps in your inferences.
      *_"I would like to ask you to pull your head out of your ass but it would be a complete waste of time. Enjoy further division."_*
      I'd ask you stop being disingenuous and emotionally charged with your assertions, but I guess we can't get everything we'd like, right?
