Despite having taken even more offensive positions than Flanagan, notably that native child sex abuse victims owe a "value for money" accounting to abusers.<br /><br />Regarding "$4 billion in compensation for those who partook in the residential schools over those years. Now, you know, some of us are starting to ask, ‘Are we really getting value for all of this money, and is more money really going to solve the problem?’ " - Pierre Poilievre<br /><br />According to Poilievre, sexual abusers who are paid compensation for having "partook" in child sexual abuse by their supposed care givers, are owed some kind of "value for all this money". Is this really different than Flanagan's position in favour of re-victimizing child sex abuse victims who were photographed, by redistributing?<br /><br />I say it's worse. Poilievre's position that abusers are owed "some kind of "value for all this money"" by the children sexually abused, who are said to have "partook" in their own rape and silencing, is more disgusting than Flanagan's:<br /><br />- the victimization would be recounted in detail by the victim as a form of justification for the compensation already ordered by court<br /><br />- the details of the victimization, not being caught on photographs, would be open for questioning and scorn by the challenging abuser<br /><br />- the rape of child victims was part of a socially-approved genocide that continues ideologically via Sun News and other racist media outlets, including all those who never challenged the "value for money" paradigm advocated by Poilievre and Tom Flanagan<br /><br />- an abuser would have some kind of control, presumably, over how the compensation funds were spent, and could demand more recounting of the abuses if only for their own gratification/pleasure - whereas no one has suggested any such input or veto power for abusers or victims over child abuse images, rather that they would be destroyed upon being found. Also no one has suggested that child porn victims would not be entitled to compensation to spend as they saw fit without being made accountable to an abuser or any accomplice of abusers (such as the government of Canada)<br /><br />http://www2.macleans.ca/2008/06/11/pierre-poilievre-shows-his-empathy-for-residential-school-survivors/<br />Craig Hubleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16102944076093037078noreply@blogger.com
