Reminder that when Harper apologized to the native populations of Canada for residential schools, Poilievre was openly critical about the apology. Harper had to bitch him out and apologize for his criticism.
PP is a racist dick bag who has never worked a day in his life
Gotta love the language here implying he only sees Indigenous people as means to access resources rather than seeing them as normal people whose lives and histories should be respected.
Is it any surprise, given this scandal from back when Harper was Prime Minister?
Poilievre had come under heavy criticism for telling CFRA News Talk Radio that he wasn't sure Canada was "getting value for all of this money" being spent to compensate former students of federally financed residential schools.
"My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work and independence and self-reliance. That's the solution in the long run — more money will not solve it," Poilievre said.
The MP for Nepean-Carleton also suggested that aboriginal chiefs have too much power.
"That gets to the heart of the problem on these reserves where there is too much power concentrated in the hands of the leadership, and it makes you wonder where all of this money is going."
He was saying on this on the same day Harper was issuing a historic apology to indigenous peoples for the residential school program too, mind you.
Considering PP's words, he's always seen raw resources as more important than the people of this country, regardless of their skin colour. Notice that before the election started, he pretty much never talked about jobs or public services, or living affordability, but instead the only times he didn't attack the Liberals, he was talking about exploiting raw resources.
He sees this country as nothing more than a giant mine and oil well. Nothing else matters to him and anything not related to those two things are simply platitudes. You can tell since he barely spends any time on anything else, and it's always so half hearted.
PP really hates indigenous people. I went to school with him.
It's the Conservative way to prioritize material gains over human and environmental consideration.
Isn't their mascot prospector stepping over their own grandmother?
I noticed that too. So gross.
Totally voting smöl ~pp~ now.
/s
So many fucking asshole conservative candidates.
It's about to be 6 candidates pulled.
We can only hope. :)
Just need three different news outlets to ask about the guy and when PP'll remove him in a single press conference. When people are spending more time asking about one of his party candidates than whatever he was giving a speech about, he'll have no choice.
Oh he has a solid plan for that. Just shut out any reporter who'll ask that question.
Misinformation you say? Funny thing is, Gunn's words can only be explicit denialism, or proof that Gunn doesn't know what genocide is -- making him the one who needs to "go read a book."
Now would be a very good time to plea stupid.
That's the kind of votes he wants!
