PM Trudeau Slams Derek Sloan For ‘Racism’ While Rejected Conservative Leader Scheer Remains Quiet!

“Intolerance and racism have no place in our country, Canada has succeeded because of our diversity,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said when asked about Sloan’s comments and other anti-Asian racism in Canada that has resulted from the pandemic. “The millions of Canadians of all different backgrounds who are working together, many, many of them on the front lines to help their fellow Canadians, deserve better than this from all of us. We need to continue in our resolve to be an open, welcoming respectful country and I think all Canadians expect that of every politician.”

OTTAWA – Even during the pandemic, Conservative politicians continue their racist ways with the latest spewing nonsense being an Ontario Conservative MP and leadership contender.

While rejected Conservaive party leader Andrew Scheer refuse to comment, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau slammed a Conservative MP Derek Sloan’s statements questioning the loyalty of Canada’s top doctor to her country. It shows that the party has a real racisk problem.

Sloan, who is running to replace Scheer as leader of the Conservative Party, called for Dr. Theresa Tam to be fired in fundraising emails and social media posts this week.

"Dr. Tam must go! Canada must remain sovereign over decisions,” he wrote on Twitter.

 “Does she work for Canada or for China,” Mr. Sloan asked in a Facebook video posted late Tuesday.

Trudeau condemned the remarks in his daily news conference in Ottawa on Thursday.

“Intolerance and racism have no place in our country, Canada has succeeded because of our diversity,” Trudeau said when asked about Sloan’s comments and other anti-Asian racism in Canada that has resulted from the pandemic, reported Globe and Mail newspaper.

“The millions of Canadians of all different backgrounds who are working together, many, many of them on the front lines to help their fellow Canadians, deserve better than this from all of us. We need to continue in our resolve to be an open, welcoming respectful country and I think all Canadians expect that of every politician.”

Sloan, a rookie MP for Hastings-Lennox and Addington in Ontario, won the party’s nomination to run in the 2019 election under  Scheer’s tenure.

The current leader refused to answer repeated questions about Sloan’s comments and whether they were welcome in the Conservative caucus.

“As a rule I don’t comment on leadership candidates or on policy announcements or positions that leadership candidates have taken,” Scheer said. “Ultimately it will be up to members to select the next leader of the party.”

The party did not immediately respond to a question about whether Sloan’s status in the race was being reviewed by the Leadership Election Organizing Committee.

The party has already disqualified two other potential candidates from the race. The leadership election was supposed to wrap up on June 27, but the committee postponed the race last month after it said the COVID-19 pandemic made carrying out the race impossible.

The party has not yet set a new date for the race, reported Globe and Mail.
