Our aunt - now in her late 90s - says that "its not our country any more." She's damned right. And so was Enoch Powell.

Perhaps I'm obtuse and simply missing the point. What has this incident to do
with your general dismay with how Edmonton has changed? As you cite Enoch
Powell, I assume you are concerned about immigration. The links you provide
do not indicate that immigrants or their offspring were involved. The links do
suggest the thuggery started long before the train reached Edmonton so
it can hardly be used to typify how Edmonton has changed since 1945.
