Is Trump a racist, the Calgary Police Service as a "broken" entity, and Alberta's provincial government's lawsuit with power companies

Donald Trump making headline news over what is described as his criticism and insult toward the father of Humayun Khan, a Muslim Army Captain killed in Iraq in 2004, by a suicide bomber. The father, Khizr Khan at the Democratic Party Convention said Trump has "sacrificed nothing and no one" and offered to lend Donald Trump his copy of the U.S. Constitution. Trump's response on ABC TV was, "I think I've made lots of sacrifices. I work very, very hard" and raised millions for military veterans. Trump also questioned why Mrs. Khan didn't speak, saying "maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say, you tell me."

Is Trump a racist appealing to white voters and building his campaign on racism and fear?  Or is he nothing of the sort?  Are you a Donald Trump supporter and do you believe you are accused of being a racist because you support him? -

The NDP government filed a "bizarre" lawsuit this week against power companies, including utilities which are owned, or partly owned by the cities of Calgary and Edmonton in order to stop the companies from backing out of power contracts which have been made less profitable by Alberta's increased carbon costs (taxes, closing of coal powered power generation). The lawsuit names the province's own regulatory agency, the Alberta Utilities Commission for "unlawfully" agreeing in 2000 to terms which allow termination of so-called Power Purchase Arrangements "if a change in law renders the PPA unprofitable, or more unprofitable." Basically, the NDP government is suing its own agency and power companies for reacting to provincial regulations which drive up the price of power and reduce profits.
