Conservative MP apologizes for ‘hurtful’ comments on aboriginal people
A Conservative MP who on Wednesday told an Ottawa radio station that former residential school students need a stronger work ethic, not more compensation dollars, has apologized for his comments.
Pierre Poilievre stood in the House of Commons Thursday to say he was sorry for his remarks, which were made just hours before Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered a public, formal apology to former students of the native residential school program.
These statements form a dichotomy of positions, I wonder which one is true and which is PR?
Despite the fact that the latter is only electioneering, at least they did the right thing. I suppose it is better late and politically motivated than never.
