You tell people to move on and you pull this shit. You just discredited yourself completely.

From the CBC article that you linked:
"The chiefs chose to put a headdress on Harper and they brought in people from their faith and they coloured his face. It was all part of a cultural and religious ceremony," said Robert Jago a Montreal-based writer and a member of the Kwantlen First Nation.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Harper but I remember this, and it's not racist if the indigenous people dress you themselves.
