持极端意识形态敌视社会的NDP候选人

When one of your candidates posts a meme quoting Adolf Hitler, it’s difficult to feel any sympathy for Andrea Horwath’s complaint Saturday that attacks on her candidates are “disappointing.”

The meme shows Hitler standing in a car giving a Nazi salute and includes an inspirational quote from the Nazi Fuhrer that basically says if you don’t like the rules, get into power and change them.

Despite the fact that posting anything to social media involves several steps and conscious thought, Horwath’s Scarborough-Agincourt candidate Tasleem Riaz issued a statement saying she was “horrified that an inappropriate meme was on my Facebook page,” doesn’t recall sharing it, and wouldn’t “have done so intentionally.”

Not exactly a denial.

Nevertheless, had this despicable shoe been on either Kathleen Wynne’s or Doug Ford’s foot, the NDP leader would no doubt have insisted their candidate apologize for the offensive post and perhaps quit the race.

Instead, Horwarth is defending Riaz, said she’s “looking into the issue” but offered no evidence to support error or tampering, tried to reflect criticism back at the latest Tory membership brouhaha and suggested Liberals and Tory claims that her team is a pack of risky, “radical” MPPs will only make people more cynical about politics.
 
But none of that addresses another post Riaz made in 2015 suggesting Canadian forces in Afghanistan were “slaughtering … innocent Men, Women and Children” and that voting for federal Conservatives or Liberals would result in “our ballots turned in to bullets against our Muslim brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and Labia. (sic)”

Horwath sidestepped that alarming post and suggested “there are many people… who are anti-war activists, for example, who are concerned about international issues and that’s not only New Democrats, that’s people all around the world.”
 
Not sure most Ontarians, most voters would agree our soldiers are in the business of “slaughtering” innocents.

But what of the claim by the Liberals and Tories that Horwath’s team of candidates are “among the least prepared that this province has ever seen,” at least according to a Liberal release issued Saturday.

Well, meet the team.

Laura Kaminker, NDP candidate for Mississauga Centre. YouTube

Laura Kaminker is the NDP candidate for Mississauga Centre.

Kaminker is a self-described “Marxist” who in a 2014 blog post said she refuses to wear the “fake poppy” and describes Remembrance Day as “war glorification.”

“I just wear my peace button on my jacket as always, and wait for the collective brainwashing to blow over. When our masters give the signal, everyone can take off the fake poppy – made with prison labour – and create a bit more landfill. And another annual ritual of war glorification comes to a close,” she wrote.

Neither Kaminker nor Horwath apologized for the post, which the NDP leader defended as free speech.

Kaminker also appears to be 9/11 conspiracy theorist, having suggested there’s “no proof that bin Laden or al-Qaida had anything to do with the attacks” on New York City in 2001 and disparaged the annual remembrance of the terror attack that killed almost 3,000 people.

“All of you fixating on this one event, the whole world expected to stand in hushed silence because a bad thing happened to Americans,” she wrote.
 
The Liberals compiled a handy list of other NDP candidates who have waded, one way or another, into controversy:

@ccc
 
  • Hamilton Mountain, MPP Monique Taylor has been accused of creating a toxic work environment by bullying staff to make false sexual harassment complaints.
 
  • Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, MPP Paul Miller is under investigation for “routine racist, sexist, and homophobic comments.”
 
  • Brampton South candidate Paramjit Gill likened the updated sex-ed curriculum to “sexsual abuse” (sic).
This is one of the few good guys in NDP, I guess.

  • Richmond Hill candidate Marco Coletta called for a 15-percent-cut to teacher salaries.
Interesting suggestion but, hey, this is NDP!
 
Kenora—Rainy River candidate Glen Archer said in a 2015 Facebook post that Premier Wynne “should be in prison” and recently apologized for it.

This is actually a good one. :)

NDP Candidate Chandra Pasma – Ottawa West-Nepean

Chandra Pasma, the NDP‘s candidate in Ottawa West-Nepean, seems to think “jobs are not the answer” to Ontario’s woes.

“How do we escape the clutches of labourism, with its limited ideas of work and its dehumanizing emphasis on paid labour,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “We need to reconceptualize work and find ways of detaching income security from paid employment.”
 
University-Rosedale NDP candidate Jessica Bell wrote a sort of how-to-guide for radicals, advocating “economic shutdown,” “occupation,” “property destruction” and other social justice warrior tactics for the aggrieved left.

Etobicoke Centre NDP candidate Erica Kelly drew her own fire over a Facebook post suggesting she would not be sad if “gun nuts” were blown up by a drone.

“I know this is horrible to say… but I would not be sad to see these gun nuts threatening civil war have their asses blown to f–k with a drone,” Kelly wrote in Facebook comment. She recently offered an “unreserved apology” for her post.
