The Conservative MP leading outreach efforts for leader Erin O’Toole says a six-year-old promise to create a ‘barbaric cultural practices’ hotline still hangs over the party’s attempts to rebuild relationships with racialized communities today.
“It’s there,” Tim Uppal says. “It is there.”
Uppal served as the minister of state for multiculturalism in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government when it entered the 2015 federal election campaign.
I didn’t need another reason to write off the Conservative Party. Identity politics murders reason and decency. I don’t give a damn who was offended by the hotline but evidently the CPC braintrust are willing to turn a blind eye to any horror.
