I continue to be neutral in the @OntLiberal leadership race. And I continue to encourage more candidates to join what I hope will be a spirited and competitive race.
But I have to call something out; call a spade a spade if you will. Today, several people on this platform have called former Liberal MP and senior federal cabinet minister Navdeep Bains, who declared his candidacy earlier today, βJagmeet Singh 2.0.β
I find this deeply offensive. It (seemingly) suggests that Bainsβ political fate will be similar to that of former NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh because he too is a brown turbaned man.
This is a racial slur, full stop. People would not compare a white politician to another white politician, suggesting they would have a similar political fate due to a shared physical characteristic like facial hair, eye colour or hair colour.
This is gross discourse and it has got to stop now. Full stop. #cdnpoli #onpoli
