MLA Joe Savikataaq
Independent Party, Arviat South, NU
Bio
CLC rating: Unknown
Rating Comments: In October 2020, Premier Joe Savikataaq piled on with a majority of fellow MLAs to unjustly eject their colleague, MLA Patterk Netser, from Nunavut's cabinet in retaliation for Netser's laudable pro-life statement on Facebook affirming that "all lives matter", including the lives of babies in the womb. Adding insult to injury, Premier Savikataaq also slandered Netser by accusing him of "racism and gender violence" for his pro-life statement (see Votes tab).
