First Nations: The Conservatives had the chutzpah to boast about that particularly mean cut in their fundraising pitches, according to Rabble. Their pitch was, in effect: Support us because we're so tough-minded we punish refugee children. The new PM did not need prodding to restore the Interim Federal Health Program for refugees, which Harper overzealous immigration maven Jason Kenney so ostentatiously axed. It is all to the Liberal leader credit that he did he not flinch in the face of Conservative xenophobic propaganda on refugee health. The new Liberal government has also stopped financially penalizing First Nations over alleged violations of the draconian First Nations Financial Transparency Act. To the contrary, he put the issue front and centre during one of the campaign leaders' debates.
