Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis, Born in Jamaica, Comes Out To March In Support of Freedom Convoy
"Why would I not be here?"
Canadian lawyer and Member of Parliament Leslyn Lewis, who moved to Canada from Jamaica at age 5, had some very interesting things to say about the Freedom Convoy.
According to an article in MacLeans, “She is the first-ever woman of color vying to lead the Conservative party of Canada.”
When asked by journalist Andrew Lawton what brought her here there she replied brightly: “Why wouldn’t I be here?”
”People believe that the government has overstepped and they are here to exercise their democratic right,” she said.
Watch the short interview below:
On Instagram, Lewis posted:
”Great to see so many law-abiding patriotic Canadians peacefully expressing their love for this country and democracy. People of all ages, faiths, races, from all walks of life, united for freedom. Thanks @mrandrewlawton for the opportunity to speak directly to Canadians.”
APOLOGIES for the erroneous headline last night, changed it this morning. I was exhausted when I posted it and it was supposed to say that Leslyn Lewis is the first "woman of colour" (phrase borrowed from MacLeans) to be Conservative MP in Canada. Not Canada's "first woman of colour." Sheesh. Sorry. It's corrected on the site now, but the original email likely still has the very confusing headline.
Great she's standing with them but does it matter what colour she is or where she was born?
