Wow. What a platform!

I'm a PC and I won't dig up a landfill to bring justice to murdered women. VOTE FOR ME!

Conservatives: nods head slowly a very well thought out and compelling argument! Here's my vote!

It doesn't have anything to do about murdered women, digging up possible victims or even justice

It has everything to do with legitimizing hate and normalizing racist ideals ... these aren't ads to let people know what she doesn't want to do ... it's an advertising campaign announcing to every right and far-right leaning moron out there that their ideology is accepted and can be promoted. It's a hate filled campaign to all right wing followers that it's ok to delegitmize minorities and dismiss them because they don't matter.

It's a campaign for hate ... and everyone who allows it to just happen and continue is part of the problem.

Over the summer, Stefanson’s PC government faced a wave of protests in Winnipeg, later spreading across the country and even receiving international attention, over its refusal to search Winnipeg’s landfill for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran — two Indigenous women believed to be victims of an alleged serial killer charged with their murders last year.

Winnipeg’s police chief previously stated that investigators believe their remains are at a local landfill where the body of another woman, believed murdered by the same alleged serial killer, was recovered last summer.

What a piece of shit. But indigenous people aren't people to conservatives, of course.

Once upon a time they said that automation would free up more leisure time for people to enjoy.

The time was freed up, but apparently people decided to use that time to create nonsensical advertisements instead.

Canadians are racist AF towards indigenous folk. They fucking hate us, and take every opportunity to make our lives worse.

Especially in Manitoba and Saskatchewan where my god the racism ratchets up to 11.

You fucked up the punctuation there, and your wording is a bit off. Let me fix that for you:

Canadians are racist AF.

There. That pretty much fixes everything.

She's down by 11 points?

I guess her philosophy is that if you're going to go down you might as well go down in flames.

Like, I get the argument against the project. The chance of finding anything to help bring the killer to justice is roughly zero. The women will still be just as dead, and may not even be found. But still, peace-of-mind is not valueless... but how many millions will we pay for that?

But regardless of the arguments about this: Putting out ads on the subject is absolutely moronic.

Did I read that correctly? What the fuck is going on up there???
