The mayor of a Canadian town rescinded a proclamation that next week would be European Heritage Week after complaints from a Jewish group and other organizations. Walter Brown, the mayor of the New Brunswick city of Fredericton, backtracked after learning from the Atlantic Jewish Council that the phrase European Heritage Week is code for advocating white supremacy in Canada. Several other Canadian cities have had to rescind similar proclamations.
