Conservative sincerity

Once again proving that the Conservative Party of Canada will say or do anything without meaning a word of it, Pierre Poilievre got on radio station CFRA on the day of the Residential Schools apology yesterday and said:

Need I really say any more?

He apologised between Statements by Members and Question Period in the House, of course, so he was either being dishonest about his actual opinion on the radio or in the House.

My bet is that he is still Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board because his perspective reflects the honest views of the federal Conservative government. Why would they fire a spokesman who gives their honest assessment?

Thanks to Red Tory for noticing and posting this video.
