The newest member of the Liberal caucus has a history of making outlandish and controversial statements.
Jenica Atwin, who crossed the House of Commons floor from the Green Party to the ruling Liberals last Thursday, has recently received flack for her views on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
However, Atwin’s shortcomings don’t end there. While still a Green Party MP, Atwin held troubling views on other issues like free speech.
True North has compiled a full list of Atwin’s most bizarre and radical claims before she became a Liberal MP.
Claimed that “harmful and oppressive” words should be erased
In December, Atwin suggested on Twitter that allegedly offensive words like “tribal” should be “rooted out and discontinued” from use in the English language.
