The Conservative Party of Canada is “tough on crime.” Its website even has a section dedicated to this stance. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer holds a press conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on March 25, 2019. ( Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS )The strange thing is that for a party so tough on crime that it states its position in capital letters, its leader is arguably less than tough when it comes to a force that drives crime: hate. And if he doesn’t do this then he might want to remove the Tough on Crime stance from the Conservative party’s platform. Because in a world threatened by white supremacist violence, you can’t be tough on crime if you’re soft on hate.
