Jason Kenney called out on Twitter for poorly worded Aboriginal day message

On Aboriginal Day we honour those who first settled in Canada, and their generations of descendants. pic.twitter.com/9nPeOx4HJX

Oh puleeze. Calling Indigenous Ppls settlers? Yeah right, 20,000 year old settlers. Canada is how old? https://t.co/EKxKmcRj1A

@jkenney ummmm. I don't think that the indigenous people were the first settlers, probably here before the that happened.

@jkenney Now that's a colonial attitude if ever I've seen one. #alwaysbeenhere

—@RedIndianGirl

What profound unease with losing settler colonial privilege looks like: @jkenney trolls Indigenous people. #cdnpoli https://t.co/GRgBXQMSrw

@Rob_Imrie I don't follow. The ancestors of our aboriginal people were the first to come to North America. Not really a point of contention.

@Sky_s_The_Limit You don't think we should honour the first people who came to Canada / North America?
