Canadian Conservative parliamentarian accuses black rival of "thinking the world revolves around her skin colour"

Dave writes, "Maxime Bernier, a far-right asshole who ran for leadership of Canada's Progressive Conservative party on a platform of 'fair gun policy' and 'standing up for rural Canadians,' decided that his colleague across the aisle (Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes) thought too much about her skin colour, and let it taint her point of view."


"That's the main difference between us," he wrote. "You think the world revolves around your skin colour. My goal is to bring better policies to all Canadians. That's an MP's job."

Caesar-Chavannes responded with a message of her own in which she pointed out that she deals with policy on a daily basis.

"Unlike you however, I can focus on policy while also shifting the status quo and increasing awareness," wrote the MP from Whitby, Ont.

"That's what happens when you #AddWomen. We get more done!"
