Scheer: Message Children and Media Platform

scheer: His refusal to denounce these divisive comments sends a dangerous message, according to National Observer. Children of diverse backgrounds across Canada pick up on these messages. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh used the social media platform to say he's been waiting for Scheer to do the responsible thing and denounce what he calls Bernier's divisive words. ; To everyone that belongs to a diverse community who's been told you don't belong I've been in your shoes, I get it, Singh wrote, saying he's deeply disappointed in Scheer. Right now, they need to hear that their country wants more of themselves, not less. On Tuesday, he seized on a decision to name a park in Winnipeg after the founder of Pakistan, comparing it to the decision to remove a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald from outside Victoria city hall. In a series of tweets posted Sunday, Bernier said promoting too much diversity could have the effect of dividing Canada into little tribes that cause division and erode Canada's identity.
