Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was confronted by some First Nations chiefs about his priorities on Indigenous issues.

Apparently Polievre’s grievance politics don’t play very well to an audience with actual grievances.

Good on First Nations for not forgetting Poilievre has spent most of his career saying Canada should stop giving them money or they won’t get jobs. If only the rest of Canada still remembered all the shit he said back when he was Harper’s puppy.

“My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work and independence and self-reliance. That’s the solution in the long run — more money will not solve it,” Poilievre said.
