I went to the first of Liberal MP Candidate Connie Denesiuk’s monthly coffee meetings on Saturday at Fibonacci’s in Penticton and an interesting idea surfaced: While Harper sits by, deep divisions are growing in the country over court decisions in favor of aboriginal land claims.
And, when he refuses to call an inquiry into missing aboriginal women he makes it worse.
When the Conservatives abandoned Paul Martin’s Kelowna Accord, they began a decade of indifference, neglect and conflict. Stephen Harper has shown no vision and no leadership on aboriginal problems.
Instead of uniting us, Harper has allowed the problems to fester, leading to more conflicts; one more excellent reason to vote him out this year.
