Mrs. Universe calls for First Nations to vote out Harper | Toronto Star: "Days after being crowned Mrs. Universe, Canada’s Ashley Callingbull has called upon First Nations people to vote out Stephen Harper.
“I urge all First Nations people in Canada to vote in this upcoming election,” Callingbull, 25, tweeted on Monday. “We are in desperate need of a new PM. Fight for your rights.”
Callingbull, who is Cree, grew up in poverty on the two reserves of Maskwacis and Enoch in Alberta and is a survivor of sexual and physical abuse.
She was crowned Mrs. Universe 2015 in Minsk, Belarus, on Saturday.
She is the first Canadian and First Nations woman to win the title for married women.
She wasn’t shaken at all by the suggestion that she had gotten too political, too fast."
