#kaniehtiio horn
hard right jay
Things that are great about this scene from Letterkenny:
- The actress is named Kaniehtiio Horn, and she’s Mohawk, grew up on the Kahnawake reservation, which is in Quebec
- “We don’t practice violence” “We do”
further context for this scene:
- the local youth soccer team, at the request of the nearby rez, declared they were going to change their name from ’ the chiefs’ to something not racist
- the rural white community was totally supportive of this
- ‘hard right jay,’ played by Jewish actor jay baruchel, heard about the change online. he is not a local – he is a neo-nazi from the city
- he travels to this rural town and approaches the white locals, trying to recruit them into his ‘hard right’ ideology and get them angry about the name change. he assumes this will be easy
- the white locals are hugely insulted by this, because a) they support the name change and b) they aren’t fucking nazis
- jay calls in a bunch of nazi out-of-towners to stage this ‘protest.’ none of the hard-right people in his group are locals
- after watching jay spend the whole episode acting like he’s so Respectable and Reasonable and Intellectual while spouting nazi rhetoric, watching Tanis beat his ass is extremely cathartic
That dude sounds EXACTLY like Hiccup Haddock
That is the guy who voices hiccup
