“I condemn this egregious assault on human rights in Uganda,” says Scheer after Uganda reintroduces law that imposes the death penalty on LGBT people.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has issued a statement condemning Uganda’s plan to reintroduce legislation that would impose the death penalty on LGBT people.
The country had previously pushed the legislation, before backing down amid a massive international backlash.
However, they are now planning to reintroduce the horrific legislation.
On Twitter, Scheer made clear that he condemns the horrendous law, and would confront Uganda on it if he becomes Prime Minister:
“I condemn this egregious assault on human rights in Uganda. Conservatives deplore injustice toward the LGBTQ community, and when I become Prime Minister, I will raise Canada’s concerns with the Ugandan government.”

It’s important to note that while the Liberals do a ton of virtue-signalling and photo-ops to show their ‘support’ for LGBT Canadians, the Conservatives actually achieved tangible results saving the lives of LGBT people around the world, by prioritizing persecuted LGBT people in Canada’s refugee system and giving them the chance to come to Canada and be safe.
Additionally, it needs to be pointed out that the Trudeau Liberals gave Uganda $52 million in foreign aid in 2018, which is a disgrace considering the horrific human rights record of the Ugandan government.
“In 2018, the Trudeau government gave $52 million of your taxpayer dollars to Uganda, a country that is introducing a horrific law that imposes the death penalty on LGBT people. Yet another reason foreign aid must be slashed and ultimately eliminated.”
