| Historical note | Jim Pankiw served two terms in the Canadian House of Commons, representing Saskatoon-Humboldt in Saskatchewan from 1997 until 2004 as a member of the Reform Party of Canada, the Canadian Alliance, the Democratic Representative Caucus and finally as an independent MP. He was expelled from the Canadian Alliance for his extremist views. In 2003, Pankiw ran for mayor of Saskatoon. Those opposed to him raised billboards that read "Racism-Free Zone: No Pankiw, Thank You". In response, Pankiw distributed flyers claiming that it was his opponents who were racist. Pankiw placed third in the mayoral race. | |
