The three videos purport to show Denis on a phone talking while adopting a negative caricature of an Indigenous voice, referencing liquor stores and casinos.
WATCH | Videos posted to social media show Alberta's former justice minister Jonathan Denis on a phone talking, doing a caricature of an Indigenous person:0:16 "We must stand in solidarity with our Indigenous Peoples to dispel any and all stereotypes that undermine their invaluable contributions to our country," she wrote on Twitter.
What you do a lone is what kind of person you truly are!!!
How can a guy like this represent justice?
😂 That was NOT an apology. NeverVoteConservative
Completely and utterly insincere. Never actually takes responsibility. Simply another insult to our Indigenous people.
TheMorrigan47 A racist apologizes and then he’s no longer a racist?
Killers, thieves and lawyers!
DianeMariePosts This is what conservatives are.
Jonathan Denis believes he is right, and above the law. News item: AB chief medical examiner + top forensic pathologist from 2011 to 2014, Dr. Sauvageau claimed she was denied a contract renewal bc she protested political interference in her office.
Business partner 🤢
Glad to hear he's former!!!
Nothing new here in Alberta. We go through this shit every day. They control the leg, the departments, the municipalities. Let us get real. The minorities are mere token. Alberta is racist thru and thru
His sorry for what, saying, making fun of, or getting 'caught' saying/making fun of?
Apologies that contain the word “if” are not apologies.
firetheucp_ How about theses text
Absolutely scandalous that the JUSTICE MINISTER is using the fratboy dudebro excuse 'if I don't remember it, it didn't happen', when confronted with VIDEO.
Maybe it’s time people realize the truth. Maybe the negative caricature is an accurate reflection. Think of where an equal number of Chinese would be given only 10 years of no taxes, free dental, free university, etc.
Denis was part of p.p.'s campaign you say? Birds of a feather flock together PierrePoilievreMustGo
By “negative caricature” I assume you mean racist? Bigoted, perhaps? Can we please use the proper terminology and call a spade a spade.
All are rotten
'Quite frankly, this cancel culture is killing society … I should be able to joke on an issue in the confines of my own home.' Oh really? So it's OK to be a racist, as long as you don't do it in public? Gotcha
patmccombe Another Conservative Doing what they do best! Disgusting!
But did he wear black face?
Ernie Scar, comin' at cha...in mono.
Denis is poilievre's friend & business associate
CBC is going to let people comment !? De found mainstream media! Your paid political narratives have been exposed.
SK8Wireless He's trash. His ex wife also accused him of beating her. I suspect the whole marriage was a sham, a cover for him and his lover to protect thwir political aspirations with their voting base.
Trudeau gave millions to a terrorist
Nothing suggest 'sanctimonious' and 'hubris' like raking in $1.4Bn from the taxpayer for a 0.8% market share and believing that you're a cultural industry! I think you are COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH. DefundTheCBC
Ignorant. He should be fired.
Way to go
Another conservative deplorable. These freaking clowns wear their greed and ignorance as a badge of honor.
Albertans have a PATHOLOGICAL HATRED for First Nations people. Let me correct that. Albertans have a pathological hatred for ANYONE who is not whi✝️e.
He needs to be dismissed. Fired.
MerlinofCanada Faaaack ! They are all so gross!!!
MerlinofCanada Or was he talking to this guy?
Was he talking to this guy?
What a peice of garbage
Shocking!
Everybody does that. I hope he doesn’t apologize.
This guy apologies a lot. Perhaps he should change his behaviour and those he associates with…
well thats a career killer. If you are an elected offical you are elected by all the people. He needs to go, apolgy in public isn't good enough , he has to do it face to face with our First Nations brothers and sisters. That is just lip service. Do it in person if you are sincere
What would indigenous people ever have to do with booze and gambling? Hmmmm … don’t have a clue.
Typical conservative bs
Not surprised
Sorry dosent help in this day and age
Lol and this should surprise us why? It’s common knowledge that the conservatives won’t do for the Indigenous what the current PM has done.
Classic example of what a “punk” is.
merry123459 The word “if” does not belong in any genuine apology.
‘Berta
The saddest of sad sack apologies. He’s only sorry he got caught.
IsisWise Alberta albertaiscalling
“I hope this apology puts an end to this.'
Surprise, sur-fucking surprise.
The truth hurts
CraigBChandler thinks it's OK to act racist, if it's in your own home.
Only Conservatives are racist!! Man, liberals are ignorant!
It's definitely a pattern
CailinasEirinn JFC.
Why did they fire the guy that took the party vids? 🤔
DianeMariePosts Oh quite sure there's MUCH more than just those videos!!
InsiderEezBakk Got caught 🤨
Saaa, we are going to make so much money off getting the white msn addicted to gambling and liquor.
And former business partner of Lil PP. 🧐
Has he played the “I’m the victim” card yet…or will that be next week? The UCP…just one embarrassing scandal after another…
just another day in the genocidal invsion
I was drunk and don't remember isn't an apology.
His videos also really similar to the nasty voice mail so revived and calls !
What religion does he practice? I have a funny feeling I know exactly which one he practices.
Always easier to apologize after for a “mistake” than for actually being racist. Politicians think we’re stupid.
Canceled!
Thanks ItsDeanBlundell for showing us who JonathanDenisAB really is. He should be removed from office immediately without a resignation.
And he’s confident it’s just 3 videos?
Fire the MF !
Not surprised
ShelleyKingsto3 Disgraceful but it's Alberta. The last Justice Minister Madu was involved in a scandal and was removed from his position. The current Justice Minister Shandro is facing a conduct hearing before the Law Society of Alberta in October.
Typical Conservative behavior
What a tool!
Apology not enough this man must resign.
Joel, before writing a headline, make sure you understand it. That was not an apology. Time for a dictionary bud.
P.P. slumlord friend and business partner, why are you surprised
Lots of injustice shown by ableg Justice Ministers.
And Alberta's want to keep their assault rifles?
Goof
'Former Justice Minister'. What the hell. Natives are boozers. It was probably accurate and funny.
'real events'?! Wow. When someone shows you who they are. Believe them. Disgusting. 🤮
I guess he's sorry his racism was caught on tape for everyone to see.
Most Albertans have racist attitudes, no surprise
Sorry he got caught, not sorry he said it. Big difference
Standard canadian conservative; racist, entitled, callous.
And this form of racism in Albertan politicians surprises anyone why? It is exactly what they build their foundation off of. Divide and conquer. Whites against browns. Politicians favorite game to play. Make the browns seem pathetic so whites look down at em.
Another AB pol behaving badly?!?!? Not even CLOSE to surprising… 😢
Until recently, Denis was volunteering for Poilievre's campaign. In 2004, the two founded a political communications company together called 3D Contact and continue to co-own and manage a real estate investment firm in Calgary called Liberty West Properties.
Is Johnathan Denis lying or is he telling the truth that should be the question?
When Dave Chappelle did it it was funny wasn't it?
Alberta 🤷🏻♂️
Never forget
Spouse lived out west for awhile. He came home because he could not stand the racism out there such as this. Said he'd rather survive here than live with such ugliness for money.
