Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP stunned at U.S. election result
NANAIMO – Heartsick, shocked and appalled.
Nanaimo-Ladysmith NDP MP Sheila Malcolmson isn’t pulling punches when asked to describe Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.
“To see this played out in such a public way, to have sexist, racist, taunting disabled people. To have Trump do all these things and still have him take the presidency is very worrying to me.”
With so much work done on the Canadian side of the border on inclusion and equity in politics, the Clinton loss could be a setback for women, according to Malcolmson.
