A federal Conservative MP is condemning “cancel culture” after BC Conservatives dropped a staffer over her online comments.MP Aaron Gunn’s comments come after the recent firing of B.C. Conservative communications staffer Lindsay Shepherd, who says she was dismissed Oct. 1 as a result of a Sept. 25 social media post in which she disagreed with B.C.’s provincial legislature flying an orange flag ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation marked on Sept. 30. The day is marked since a B.C. First Nation claimed ground-penetrating radar had found graves of children at a former Residential School, and similar announcements were made across the country shortly after.
“The most embarrassing form of ‘cancel culture’ is when it’s practiced by conservatives who spent their entire careers bemoaning its existence, or even being a victim of it, only to turn around and do it themselves,” Conservative MP Aaron Gunn posted Oct. 1 on X, though without referring directly to Shepherd’s dismissal.
