Jagmeet Singh takes a dig at Poilievre in AFN

BY Connect Newsroom, Jul 11, 2024 6:17 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

It is worth noting that Poilievre made the comment about the victims of residential schools 16 years ago and later apologized standing in the House of Commons.

In view of the elections to be held in Canada next year, the political parties are gearing up to woo people. Meanwhile, the parties are also trying to get the support of Indigenous people.

After conservative leader Pierre Poilievre made many promises to First Nations chiefs in Montreal today, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh took sharp aim at Pierre Poilievre in his address. Jagmeet Singh said at the Assembly of First Nations that Poilievre talks a lot about freedom, but in reality he is only interested in his own freedom.

Singh said that Poilievre does not care about anyone, and he is the one who said that the victims of residential schools do not need compensation but hard work.

It is worth noting that Poilievre made the comment about the victims of residential schools 16 years ago and later apologized standing in the House of Commons.

He said during a radio conversation in 2008 that he doesn’t think Canada is getting back the value of the money that is being spent to compensate former students of residential schools.
