The MHC is appalled that @PierrePoilievre is joining the extremist, anti-vaccine and anti-science @FrontierCentre today in Winnipeg. We understand that he will not be taking questions.
Why are you standing beside an organization that just last month described "anti-while male policies" as "then only systemic discrimination there is"? fcpp.org/2022/12/28/mak…

Why are you standing beside an organization that calls for public debate on the link between race and IQ?
Why are you standing with an organization that put out radio ads describing the wrongs committed against Indigenous children by the residential school system as a myth?
Why are you standing with an organization that openly espouses Christian Nationalism to oppose the " leftist labels of “racist,” “misogynist,” “islamophobe”, “transphobe,” or “conspiracy theorist"?
Yesterday, we put out a thread confronting Conservative party Leader Pierre Poilievre for his decision to join the Frontier Centre for an event taking place any time now in Winnipeg. One question we got was - what does this have to do with health care?
The answer is: A lot.

In the "2022 Health Status of Manitobans Report" released last month, Dr. Roussin states:
"[T]he health of people in Manitoba is not equal, and the gap in health between First Nations and all others people in Manitoba is, in fact, widening".
As our provincial director @tmlinner stated in response, this is a trend that "has been exacerbated over a period of time, and that's regardless of which party is in power."
