Let's make a POC the Minister of African NS Affairs!
The Issue
Our new Premier, Tim Houston appointed a 71 year old white man Pat Dunn, into the Minister of African Nova Scotian Affairs position. He also replaced the current deputy minister of African NS Affairs which was a black lady and gave the position to a middle aged white man. The deputy minister did not belong to any political party so there was no need for her to be terminated from her job. In fact, nowhere does it state that the premier has to pick someone from any party. He could have chosen any person of color in the province but instead he chose to use his power, silence the black voice once again and chose a 71 year old white man.
This is unacceptable! These positions should be filled by people of color. Let's get our new premier to reverse his decision and choose better candidates for these jobs.
