Canadians are outraged that she tried to use the horrific tragedy to score political points against Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives.
Recently, I reported on this disgusting Tweet from Catherine McKenna:
“I spoke to parents at Ottawa Main Mosque today whose kids are too scared to pray & go to school. In Canada. Meanwhile Andrew Scheer has to be called out before he can call out Islamophobia. We all need to stand together against racism, hatred & violence of all kinds. All of us.”

It was an absolutely disgusting move by McKenna, as she’s trying to use the aftermath of a tragedy to score political points.
And she’s facing a big backlash for the comments, as you can see in how people responded to her online:
Vile partisan posturing.

Lovely how you immediately politicise it to critique your opponents.
Never let a tragedy go to waste!

Yup. Time for YOU to step down.

What about those of us who don't understand why Andrew Scheer has to be "called out"? We should also "stand together" with a Liberal politician turning a tragedy into a campaign ad?

I'm going to be honest with you. Not the right time.

Fear mongering, Politicians do it best.

You’re part of the problem. All people need to be able to relate to one another. Haven’t you noticed the more you push the more there is a problem.

Terrible – even for @cathmckenna.

Respectfully, resign.

Why don’t you go and talk to Christian children in Syrian Churches, they are probably afraid to worship too. Why do you have to politicize a tragedy, you are disgusting, why not focus on violence by all, not just what fits the fashionable Liberal agenda of the day.

This is terrible politicizing

Holy shit, does it ever stop with you? Stop trying to politicize this stuff. Your absolutely ridiculous. I can’t wait to see you and Trudeau voted out. Want to talk climate change? Ask why Trudeau flew to and fro same day. 1346L of fuel per hour……

Sentence 2 is not leadership, not even close – do better…raise the bar
— Flemming Rasmussen (@fgrazz) March 17, 2019
No. Please delete and retweet without the middle paragraph. It ruins the sentiment of "standing together" of the last paragraph as it causes division.
If you want to point out Scheer needing 15h to get it right (like I have myself), do it in a separate tweet.

Have you apologized yet?

I honestly cannot believe how corrosive your government is.

@JustinTrudeau Will you do the right thing and shuffle out @cathmckenna for this highly offensive and inappropriate comment. After all “better is always possible”
— Daniel Sinclair (@dsincla) March 17, 2019
I stand together with people of all races, religions and political leanings to condemn anyone using death to garner political advantage.

That’s just a sample of how Canadians are responding, as McKenna’s comment continues to elicit outrage and cause more anger and division.
We are seeing clear as day that the Trudeau Liberals intend to divide Canadians and tear the country apart in order to try and win the next election, and all Canadians must stand against their divisive and dangerous tactics.

Meanwhile Christian Churches in Nigeria get bombed and…..
McKenna just doesn’t see her own cognisant dissonance. She claims to be worried about fear mongering , hatred and islamophobia, but can’t see what she says as being the very same thing she condemns. So what part of 50 people being killed by an evil hate filled person doesn’t she understand. And does it really matter at all how long, 15 hours, it takes for Scheer or anyone to make their feelings known to the public, just so long as they eventually do. In the end it matters more about what’s in your heart and mind than the time it… Read more »
Perhaps one should begin by stopping to spread the racism and hated of fellow Canadian regardless of their political choices or religious choices. These are freedoms recognized by Canadians of all ethnicities.
So glad people nailed her! She blocked me on TWITTER and I’ve never ever commented directly to her! Typical LIEBERAL!
Christians are being murdered daily in African Muslim states……How many Christian churches has McKenna attended to express her grief?
What a disgraceful fool trying to condemn Scheer for not using the words ‘Muslim or Mosque’ show just how shallow this woman is. Her boss failed to use the word ‘Jew’ during his speech at the 2016 International Holocaust Remembrance, however, Trudeau got a pass for such a disgraceful omission.
The next time there is an unfortunate attack by crazy people using their muslim religion as a misguided reason to kill innocent fellow muslims, europeans or westerners lets hope Catherine McK remembers to tweet all the Islamic countries that repeatedly ignore that carnage. Maybe she can convince them to stand together with us………………………
Fat chance
I’m in my 60s and have seen bad Prime Ministers and governments. But nothing comes close to this current Trudeau government. They are the worst ever, by far.
What can we expect from a totally inept politician? You know the old adage….I thought the Lord said “trains”, so I let them go by. Oops! it was “brains”..
Typical leftists standing on top of corpses trying to score cheap political points.
Why don’t you stand against sexism? “The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.” – Winston Churchill
