Maxime Bernier slams Justin Trudeau for promoting ’ever more’ diversity
OTTAWA — Conservative MP Maxime Bernier is taking issue with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s oft-repeated message of diversity in Canada, calling it a form of “radical multiculturalism.”
In a series of tweets published late Sunday, Bernier says he believes promoting too much diversity could have the effect of dividing Canada into ‘little tribes’ that cause division and erode Canada’s identity.
He says he fears too much diversity will destroy what has made Canada a great country.
Since the 2015 election campaign, Trudeau has championed diversity as a key feature of what makes Canada strong and has repeated that message in many of his public speeches and comments.
This morning, Bernier has posted two more tweets clarifying that he is not against diversity in Canada, but rather “pushing for ever more of it.”
Bernier, who narrowly lost the leadership of the Conservative party last year, has been a vocal critic not only of the Trudeau government but of his own party’s position on supply management and was stripped of his role as an opposition critic in June.
In his latest tweet, Bernier says, “Something infinitely diverse has no core identity and ceases to exist.”
