At age-18, I was embedded as a Milk Man – working the Palm Daries N.E. International Avenue route.

Those were different times.

We were young and idealistic. (i.e. easily brainwashed.)

Don’t try to paint the S.W.C.I.M. as racist. We had plenty of Jewish comrades and even one Pakistani family in our quadrant, just as eager to protect property values.

It was economics. That’s all.

We weren’t anti-immigration, but rather wanted it regulated. Our traditional sources of low cost, unskilled labour were slaving well, thank-you very much: Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Edmonton.

Today almost anybody can live in S.W. Calgary.

And milkmen are obsolete. 🙂
