Nunavut MLA Patterk Netser has been removed from cabinet after a 14-3 vote by his fellow MLAs in the legislature on Friday morning. Netser's demotion follows a recent Facebook post in which the MLA criticized Black women for having abortions. In the same post, Netser also stated "all lives matter," a phrase largely seen as a criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement because it discounts the disproportionate racism that Black people face. A post apparently made by Netser refers to "all lives matter," a slogan which undermines the Black Lives Matter message by discounting the disproportionate racism that Black people face. The Aivilik MLA was minister responsible for the Nunavut Housing Corporation and the Nunavut Arctic College.
