B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad is facing calls to denounce a statement by a caucus staffer who called the Survivors' flag – which commemorates the deaths at residential schools – a “disgrace” and a “fake flag.”

@cbcnews @british-columbia-cbcnews "Residential school denial is a terrible, racist sickness that is given public expression with impunity in this province and in this country." Absolutely!

Yes. We had a denialist come to #winnipeg with her entourage, spewing racism and disrespecting our survivors. I won't mention her name, as i don't want her to get more press, but it's easily looked up.
#ResidentialSchool denialism should be illegal, same as holocaust denialism is in many places.
