When it comes in the form of comments like "it makes no sense to pay "whities" to stay home while companies bring in "brown people" as temporary foreign workers." then how isn't it a "white" platform.... I've not seen anything that suggests the Conservative notion that of "if you don't like how we do things, don't come here" is a "white" platform.
How is this not racist? Ignore the words that he used. How could one even start making comments that imply that Canadians are white, and immigrants are non-white? Ignoring the racisms of it, many Canadians are non-white, and many of the temporary foreign workers I've met are white!
I suppose if Harper and other MPs had stood up and said that such comments weren't okay, then it wouldn't be clear that the Conservative party isn't running on racism this time. But I'm not aware of any of them objecting to this.
Of course they are. How could anyone in this day and age be so utterly evil to base their decisions on hate and prejudice in complete violation of our charter of rights?Is a person against gay marriage and votes for candidates that support traditional marriage, for example, an evil bigot.
Such bigotry is wrong and evil. And it's time we started calling a spade a spade, instead of letting such utter and extreme evil ferment in society.
Given the number of racist and prejudiced comments that various MPs have made lately, it's going to be an interesting, but sad, election.
It is amusing that the Conservative Party of Canada won't seem to touch SSM, and yet instead seem to think it's okay to make racist comments about niqabs. I really don't get it ...It's interesting to me how untouchable the issue of SSM is now.
