Why should we not expect that from the party leading the country too? Why are they very much allowed to get away with condoning racist pasts by their collective inaction? Why are private companies held to a higher standard than our elected representatives who set policy for all this kind of stuff?
In short...why is some past racism forgiven and other is not?
Its part of the discussion moving forward that has to be addressed IMO, if there is to be any real headway made in the whole topic.
Just my thoughts on it is all.

I mean, I didn't even vote for a Liberal candidate in the recent election (although that was due to the SNC Lavalin scandal). I just can't stand these silly, simplistic red herrings being tossed out again and again.
