Željko Todorić, internet TV broadcaster and commentator, offers his own perspective on the Canadian "ethnic costume" controversy, the role of multiculturalism in Canada, and contribution of immigrants, especially Croatians, in decision-making process.
The part you leave out is that Conservative supporters all over Youtube spread a predominant theme of racial intolerance. It is everywhere on Youtube, and predominantly in regard to muslims (esp in Alberta) and french-speaking Canadians. There is a strong thread of racial intolerance that runs through this party....and you have never acknowledged it. You are leading people down a partisan dumbed down path. You would earn more respect by thinking for yourself, rather than playing partisan.

It's a shame that we are still looking for someone to sacrifice on the altar of "Political Correctness".

Just a poor choice of words, and they turn it into a tempest in a teapot.
"Ethnic Costume" or "National Folklore Costumes" is not much different from "Traditional Ethnic Garments" or "National Folklore Garments".
Željko Zidarić was speaking from the Croatian-Canadian perspective, where in that community the term "costume" is used.
As a Greek-Canadian, I do not walk down the street everyday with my foustanella and would therefore call it a "costume".
