Swastika (swaz-TEE-kuh) is a small community founded in 1908 around a mining site in northern Ontario, Canada, and today within the municipal boundaries of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

Swastika is a junction on the Ontario Northland Railway [1], where a branch to Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec leaves the ONR's main line from North Bay, Ontario to Moosonee. The Northlander passenger railway service between Toronto and Cochrane serves a station at Swastika, with connecting bus service along Highway 66 into downtown Kirkland Lake.

The town's other claim to fame is its association with the Mitford family, who owned the Swastika Mine for which the town was named. In particular, Nazi sympathizer Unity Mitford's association with the town—she was supposedly conceived there—impressed some of the more superstitious Nazis,^{[citation needed]} to whom the swastika was an important symbol.

It's not my post kevvie-poo! Scroll up! Your question should be directed elsewhere. Why do you lefties have so much trouble with reading comprehension?

If I were to hazard a guess however, I would venture to guess that my friend is making the point that if the "swastika" is banned, so too, should be the town that bears it's name.

Speaking to the larger issue, I believe that my friend is making the point that a "symbol" or a "name" never, ever, killed anybody. 6 million Jews weren't killed by a drawing of a "swastika". Nor were 100 million Eastern Europeans killed by a drawing of a "hammer and sickle".

Unlike you, KEvron, neither I, nor my friends, fear drawings. Grow a spine you f***ing sissy!

In Winnipeg they are taking children away from parents sporting the swastika but not the hammer and sickle that killed far more and not from jihadists like the Khadirs.

They are not my pals, they are socialists, big govt types I don't like that.

I'm just saying, to be fair they should take all the children in town or they are hypocrits.

I think poor KEvron is having some sort of meltdown... He comes on, makes strange remarks, and then I ban both his ip and user name and then he rotates his ip and dreams-up a new user name and then leaves more strange comments... I'd feel pity if it weren't so damned funny...
