I find this story disturbing. I married a Mennonite girl from Southern Manitoba. It was a best thing that I did in my life. She taught me about Mennonites and their settling in Manitoba. (They now recognize that government policy was to grant them land to move out First Nations. It was not a consideration or on the radar scope of the elders when they elected Manitoba.) Some Mennonites moved on to Mexico for moral and religious reasons of the times.
Time moves forward. Situations change. I will always respect Mennonites and forgive those Mennonites who trespass against me.
