They're keeping the woman who says gay people are pedophiles and the one hates Muslims though

Public should be asking questions of candidates who are residential school denialists, says MMF vice president https://t.co/4NrEwKatdC

[Brattani @Bratt_world]

Downplaying the harms of the Holocaust = Fireable offence!

Downplaying the harms of residential schools= perfectly fine !

Conservatives in a nut shell

His plan to work with First Nations is to repeal the declaration of their rights?

White supremacists offer their voters nothing but racism while selling out the province to billionaires and developers

[Brattani @Bratt_world]

As the UBCIC Chiefs-in-Assembly have noted, the pain of Residential School denialism is deeply offensive and compounds the suffering that generations of survivors have already endured and has no place in public discourse. Particularly concerning is the dissemination of misinformation and harmful denialism by individuals elected to public office. No individual should be acclaimed by any party when they have perpetuated Residential School denialism, including Mr. Henderson

Thanks to @windspeakernews for interviewing @Niigaanwewidam and I about our new book Truth Before Reconciliation: Confronting Residential School Denialism 👇

“I think it's because #denialism is something that a lot of Canadians encounter, but they don't know how to respond to it. And they want someone to stand up to these folks.”

The predictability of this would be more funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

LMAO.

Anyway, here’s Canadaland’s new managing editor suggesting we should “explore the grey” of the residential school denialist-fuelled conversation about the remains of children.

Oh, how the once-cool Canadaland has fallen.

[Dennis Ward @DennisWardNews]

The federal government is “weaponizing consultation” to slow things down on issues like the second generation cutoff and criminalizing residential school denialism says @Niigaanwewidam

The UN Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism says she ‘repeatedly’ heard concerns from Indigenous people that their right to free, prior, and informed consent is not consistently implemented across Canada.

@CurtisMallett69 Would have a lot more respect for these folks if they clearly explained that and outlined what they *are* going to do to address the problem, rather than slippery fishing the issue and responding to the rise of hate like 🤷‍♂️

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

@CurtisMallett69 The same legal reasons that Liberals and Conservatives navigated, collectively, to criminalize Holocaust denialism in 2022? You can oppose a legislative tool, but you can’t deny the *existing* legal imbalance these same parties created. Well, actually, that’s what they are doing.

[Dennis Ward @DennisWardNews]

On this week’s Truth and Politics panel - @Niigaanwewidam calling out Mandy Gull-Masty and the Carney government for weaponizing consultation. Plus child welfare reform, and First Nations on board with the proposed Pacific Link pipeline.
