Shorter Stephen Harper ...

To anyone who is a part of a minority population:

Screw off!

After Maurice Vellacott has repeatedly demonstrated that he is ignorant, bigoted and narrow minded.

On police abusing Natives - well the police were too harshly judged.

On Supreme Court justices, Mr. Vellacott is perfectly willing to put words in other people's mouths to support his assertions.

and on the topic of SGM, he's demonstrated ignorance of the law, Canada's History and the fact he's a narrow-minded twit.

Now, I realize that Harper can't afford to punt Vellacott out of caucus, but he certainly should take the symbolic step of asking Vellacott to step aside as chair of the Native Affairs and Northern Development committee. By backing Vellacott, Harper is signalling to Canada just how rigid he really is - and how powerful the wingnut factions of his party really are.
