In the past couple of days, documents have come to light showing racist tendencies held by Prime Minister Stephen Harper from a Reform Party policy document he wrote in 1988, as well as statements made as recently as 2001.
Today, it has come out that one of his caucus members, Tom Lukiwski from Saskatchewan, is the exact same. Apparently, Lukiwski as well as Saskatchewan Premier, Brad Wall, appear in a videotape containing sexist, racist, and homophobic statements.
Such beliefs is not the type of beliefs our elected representatives should hold. MPs represent every single one of their constituents, not only the ones with their preferred skin colour, gender, and sexual orientation.
Shame on the Conservatives!

Having lived in Saskatchewan and Alberta - and having experienced the racism first hand (as well as watching and listening to Conservative Party members casually spew racist garbage - then hiding behind the old "politically correct-bashing" they do), I'm shocked that this is "news" to people. We don't even have to see the documents to see what type of tendencies many on the extreme right have.
Wingnuts - left or right - will always be wingnuts.
