OTTAWA — A federal Liberal candidate in B.C. who publicly identified as Indigenous for years says she now plans to apply for Metis citizenship after a local Metis society publicly questioned her heritage claims.
In a statement provided by a Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) spokesperson, Madison Fleischer, the party’s candidate in the Cloverdale—Langley City byelection, said she is in the process of putting together an application for Metis citizenship that will be submitted to Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC).
