THE DETESTABLE CAROLYN BENNETT

The Union of BC Indian Chiefs is calling on Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett to resign following a text she sent to Jody Wilson-Raybould, which Bennett has acknowledged was “inappropriate.”

Wilson-Raybould, Independent MP for Vancouver-Granville, is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation in B.C. She tweeted her horror following the discovery of 751 unmarked residential school graves in Saskatchewan. In the same tweet, she added that “no one really wants” an election right now.

Bennett, in a text that linked to that tweet, sent a single-word message to Wilson-Raybould: “Pension?”
