    Like, I get the argument against the project. The chance of finding anything to help bring the killer to justice is roughly zero. The women will still be just as dead, and may not even be found. But still, peace-of-mind is not valueless… but how many millions will we pay for that?

    But regardless of the arguments about this: Putting out ads on the subject is absolutely moronic.

    Wow. What a platform!

    I’m a PC and I won’t dig up a landfill to bring justice to murdered women. VOTE FOR ME!

    Conservatives: nods head slowly a very well thought out and compelling argument! Here’s my vote!

      It doesn’t have anything to do about murdered women, digging up possible victims or even justice

      It has everything to do with legitimizing hate and normalizing racist ideals … these aren’t ads to let people know what she doesn’t want to do … it’s an advertising campaign announcing to every right and far-right leaning moron out there that their ideology is accepted and can be promoted. It’s a hate filled campaign to all right wing followers that it’s ok to delegitmize minorities and dismiss them because they don’t matter.

      It’s a campaign for hate … and everyone who allows it to just happen and continue is part of the problem.

    Over the summer, Stefanson’s PC government faced a wave of protests in Winnipeg, later spreading across the country and even receiving international attention, over its refusal to search Winnipeg’s landfill for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran — two Indigenous women believed to be victims of an alleged serial killer charged with their murders last year.

    Winnipeg’s police chief previously stated that investigators believe their remains are at a local landfill where the body of another woman, believed murdered by the same alleged serial killer, was recovered last summer.

    What a piece of shit. But indigenous people aren’t people to conservatives, of course.

    Canadians are racist AF towards indigenous folk. They fucking hate us, and take every opportunity to make our lives worse.

      You fucked up the punctuation there, and your wording is a bit off. Let me fix that for you:

      Canadians are racist AF.

      There. That pretty much fixes everything.

        If you grew up near that culture and are aware of the history and have empathy for their struggle, do you not see how unhelpful and unnecessarily pedantic your response to an understanably frustrated and fed up post is?
        If a good portion of the majority oppressing you is invested in keeping you disempowered and often actively attacking you, would you feel the need to painstakingly qualify your outrage/desperation? Maybe put your ego aside and spend more energy trying to be a part of the solution, and less on whatever you think you’re doing here

          Pedants are almost as bad as pederasts at the whole thinking things through from the others’ perspective before taking actions.

        Pedantically criticizing the language of an indigenous person who is pleading for human rights is not a good look, my dude.

    She’s down by 11 points?

    I guess her philosophy is that if you’re going to go down you might as well go down in flames.

    Once upon a time they said that automation would free up more leisure time for people to enjoy.

    The time was freed up, but apparently people decided to use that time to create nonsensical advertisements instead.

    So why are the people of Winnipeg not protesting and picketing the landfill?

    If those horrible people don’t want to find those bodies then make living in the city uncomfortable until they do.

      Putting aside that I’ve seen plenty express the desire to volunteer, you literally have zero basis to assume what others may or may not choose to do. There have already been experts other than the one Stefanson hired who have looked at the facts and said that recovering the bodies is absolutely feasible and wouldn’t cost what she claims.
