OTTAWA - Maxime Bernier, the founder of a right-wing party running in Canada’s October federal election, said on Monday that Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s warnings about the dangers of white supremacy were an attack on an “entire ethnicity.”Bernier, a former Cabinet minister who quit the Conservative Party last year to form his own faction called the People’s Party of Canada, has focused on limiting immigration and promoting free trade.
“We’re told the word Sikh was removed because ‘entire religions should never be equated with terrorism.’ And yet, has been warning us for weeks about the dangers of ‘white supremacy,’ equating an entire ethnicity with terrorism,” Bernier wrote on Twitter and Facebook.Trudeau’s office declined to comment, but Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale’s office condemned the statement.
“We condemn Mr. Bernier’s attempt to legitimize them. All political leaders have a responsibility to denounce hatred and intolerance, not court them,” he added. While Canadian politics are not as polarized as those in the United States, there are indications, especially online, of increasing intolerance in Canada, which has a tradition of openness and welcoming immigrants from around the world.
