LETTER: Citizens call on Stanton to call out his leader

'If you remain quiet and don't raise these concerns, you are just as complicit as those who encourage and spout these nasty racist ideas'

Andrew Scheer is the leader of the federal Conservatives.
OrilliaMatters received the following open letter to Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton, imploring him to speak out against party leader and others' alleged ties to 'connected hate groups'
********************

We've always considered you a 'progressive' Conservative. However, (Canadian Conservative Party Leader Andrew) Scheer and a number of your caucus continue to encourage nasty anti-immigration groups in hopes that they will vote for your party and we call on you to stop this practise within your party.

The endless relationship the CPC has with the likes of Faith Goldy, the yellow vest anti-immigration crowd, The Rebel, and other connected hate groups is truly disgusting and abhorrent to most Canadians.

During the last election your party's anti-immigration rhetoric and the likes of Kellie Leitch proposing a snitch line for “barbaric cultural practises”; an anti-Muslim dog whistle effort, was absolutely above and beyond nasty. Thankfully she will not be running in 2019, but her legacy continues in the CPC.

Again we ask you to condemn these practices with Mr. Scheer and caucus .

If you remain quiet and don't raise these concerns you are just as complicit as those who encourage and spout these nasty racist ideas in order to keep your seat. There is no room for this in any Canadian political party.

Silence is not golden in this instance, so get cracking and come down hard on your party.

Cerrisse and Don Brundage
Tiny Township
