    Outside of this guy’s history as a cop, I’m not sure why the outrage. It’s not like he’s exclusively collecting Nazi paraphernalia. It is of significant historical interest. It’s not on display as a monument.

      Given he was a cop, it is far more likely he has a copy because he’s a neo-Nazi than because he’s a historical collector. Even collectors know that in nearly every case, the only people who want to have signed copies of that book are neo-nazis.

        Yeah, it’s the collection of things plus his position of public office. We tend to hold public servents to different standards than your avg Canadian.
