Some are calling attention to a comment Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre made while appearing as a guest on controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson’s podcast in an episode posted on Tuesday.
“I’m a believer in using simple Anglo-Saxon words that strike right at the the meaning that I’m trying to convey,” Poilievre said in the interview. “And so I say things that people say, ‘Yeah, that actually makes sense.’”
Some have pointed out that the term has been used by those on the far-right to differentiate white people from immigrants and people of colour.
OMG! He said Anglo-Saxon! The best thing he can do is laugh in response and never apologize.
