It literally disgusts me that some on the left are using dead children as political fodder.
What kind of person does that?!
I don’t want to know the answer. But I do know it creates deepening of wedges based on race.

What was the largest wedge issue that polarized the US electorate so severely, that rational thought and critical thinking were abandoned by many on the left, resulting in demoralized apathy (refusal to vote) or emotionally charged protest vote for Trump?
It was Black Lives Matter movement being weaponized by Russian trolls performing active measures on unwitting American progressives & conservatives. Aggravated extreme positions were amplified about racial animus on the right and social justice on the left.
And it’s a key strategy used by cooperating far right and far left political operatives to polarize the electorate into an emotion frenzy, where critical thought takes a back seat during voter decision making.
That strategy is the Finkelstein Method.
And, as I suspected, NDP and GPC are employing this method to gain political support and demoralize progressive voters to induce apathy or enrage them so vehemently about policies most misunderstand.

This is a well documented strategy.
Left and right libertarians used climate change, Proportional Representation and First Nations issues, in that order of priority in the lead up to the 2019 federal election.
It delivered a minority government.

Two years later, and after more fake scandals propagated by both right (Poilievre) and left (Angus) over WE and PM Trudeau and his family and accusations of false feminist beliefs (CAF sex abuse scandal), the opposition pundits are amplifying lies about Reconciliation efforts.

Remarkably predictable. Entirely false information. Morally reprehensible behaviour by opposition parties seeking to cash in on a nation’s grief over policies that almost wiped out indigenous people.
Political opportunism.

This is how voter suppression is conducted.

This is how virtual signalling is used to manipulate voting behaviour.

And you thought Canadian politics was dull and that it couldn’t happen in Canada.
It not only can, we’re well into the sixth rendition of the partnership between left & right wing opposition to destroy democracy in Canada.

I warned people that grief would be weaponized in this thread.
Indigenous grief is very real and reconciliation requires a reckoning with settler Canadians to know our truth.

Please do not allow political opportunism to derail reconciliation.
Reconciliation isn’t about political support. Campaigning on the backs of dead children should be taboo territory.

Manipulation of indigenous people deeply impacted by a 500 year effort to exterminate them has got to be one of the most callous and deplorable behaviours possible. Well, other than the actual genocidal attempts.
However, manipulation of those suffering from a systematic attempt to eliminate them on an individual and collective basis is probably next on the list of evil intent.
This is not meant as a partisan endorsement of any party. I’ve seen Liberals do the same.
But it’s not a coordinated and organized effort.
STOP USING INDIGENOUS GRIEF AS A POLITICAL WEDGE ISSUE.
