B.C. Conservative attacks ‘super angry’ Indigenous colleague over residential schools
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s Opposition attorney general critic has railed against members of her own party in a row over residential schools, including a “super angry” Indigenous colleague she says “joined the NDP” to call her out.
Dallas Brodie’s apparent reference to B.C. Conservative house leader A’aliya Warbus comes after Brodie said in a social media post last month that “zero” child burials had been confirmed at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
Brodie says in a new video posted on social media that the “most vociferous hatred” she received as a result came from her own party, and that some of her colleagues “belong in the NDP.”
Warbus, who was visibly upset when asked about the video outside the legislative chamber, says that if her party can’t get on the same page on residential schools then she doesn’t know why she’s sacrificing her time to be a political representative.
