OTTAWA Canada is being excoriated as a racist failure as MPs who don’t intend to seek re-election say their official farewells.
Mumilaq Qaqqaq, the New Democrat MP for Nunavut, says she’s discovered she doesn’t belong in Parliament, where she says she’s been racially profiled by security.
She says Canada was built on the oppression of Indigenous People and its history is “stained with blood.”
Bloc Québécois MP Simon Marcil, meanwhile, says Canada doesn’t live up to its billing as a progressive, environmentally friendly, egalitarian and democratic country.
