Former
Newfoundland and Labrador premier Danny Williams says some of the
tactics of Conservative Leader Stephen Harper are borderline
racist.
Williams, who
led a Progressive Conservative government in Canada's most easterly province
from 2003 to 2010, launched his latest scathing attack against Harper and
the Conservative Party of Canada on Sunday during an interview with CBC
News.
He used the
word racism in reference to the debate over the wearing of the niqab by Muslim
women taking part in the oath of citizenship.
Williams said
the issue is not worthy of becoming a national issue, but the
Conservatives have latched onto it in order to secure votes.
"He
doesn't care if he isolates the issues of women or if he isolates the issue of
minorities, and even crosses, possibly, that racism line," Williams stated.
