The blackface incident[edit]

I deleted the info on Joachim sitting on the guy wearing blackface. It was just a party, and he apologized. There's no need he go down in history as a racist MLA. GondorfNS (talk) 23:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added this story again. Looking at the news coverage online, it seems as if this was a story that garnered a lot of media attention. There were other, minor stories about Joachim Stroink's work, like his not opening his office for 5 months after being elected, and him going on a trip with Stephen McNeil to Holland, but the blackface incident seems to be the major story of his career thus far.
