I am pretty certain that the flyer that is listed below was written by
Charles Adler, a "journalist" for the tabloid the Winnipeg Sun, and a radio
talk show host for the popular AM station in Winnipeg, Canada, CJOB. He is
an extremly right wing advocate that often borders on fascism. His
reporting is neither objective or even articulate. I know that a few weeks
ago in the Winnipeg Sun he had the article detailing how to react to anyone
who is anti-war.
