I was listening to the NDP MP out of BC that is involved in this story. His interview today was being played on the radio.
The interviewer asks him what should be done?
He didn't give her a very specific answer.
So, she asks again, but adds, and I won't try to get her words perfect, she adds something like 'what about canada's tradition of accepting refugee?
And, he screwed up imo when he answered "Oh it has been lost,but we can rebuild it by....blah blah blah"
Does he really think he can get away with such a callous and insensitive comment about Canada? I get it that there is an election, but he really thinks that he can use this tragedy to convince us that Canada's tradition of accepting refugees has been lost. I am totally pissed off and offended at such a hack at our traditions for his partisan agenda.
