Canada's Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault has issued an apology after facing scrutiny over inconsistent statements regarding his Indigenous heritage. Initially, Boissonnault referred to himself as a 'non-status adopted Cree,' but later clarified that his adopted family members are Metis. The controversy has raised questions about his past claims and involvement in Indigenous advocacy within the Liberal Party. Boissonnault has acknowledged that he was not as clear as he should have been about his background and expressed regret for any confusion caused.

Typical liberal dishonesty—using false claims to push their agenda while taking advantage of real Indigenous issues.

It's frustrating to see yet another politician misrepresenting Indigenous identity—this undermines the hard work of real Indigenous advocates who fight for their communities every day.

This is what happens when politicians try to ride identity politics for their own gain. Instead of focusing on actual issues like protecting individual rights or reducing government overreach, they get caught up in misleading claims to pander to certain groups. It's just another example of why we shouldn't trust the government to manage our lives.
