DAY TWO OF THE CAMPAIGN and already the Conservatives have had to kick someone out for "suddenly" discovering they've been posting racist, anti-islamic, anti-muslim stuff...
FOR YEARS.

I'll give them 10 out of 10 for actually doing that though - kicking Winnipeg Centre Candidate CAMERON OGLIVIE out that is.
But I'm taking off several million for the fact they didn't catch this during their so-called vetting process. I mean this dude wasn't exactly posting under a fake name:
In a statement provided to PressProgress, the Conservatives said “Mr. Ogilvie withheld these posts from the party during the candidate vetting process earlier this year by deactivating his social media accounts.” and “He was asked to immediately step down as soon as we became aware of the posts.”
What they mean is, he was asked to step down as soon as someone bothered to actually vet him and found these things. I mean, come on, he wasn't even posting under an alias!!
So you'd think they'd want to take some sort of classy, quiet way around this, right? Nope. Never ones to let a chance for a cheap shot go by unused they've put this 404 message on CAMERON OGILVIE's official Candidates page...

Thing is, I found this cheap hack job while trying to find proof the story was fake - in the hopes the Conservatives weren't lazy, clumsy, hacks.
Minus another million points for that too.
And while we're at it, racist Michael Cooper is still in their caucus. This is the douchebag MP who read into parliamentary record the banned NZ Shooter's Manifesto, after berating a Sikh with anti-Muslim statements.
Yeah, another thing you won't find on the Conservative website is class.
Oddly, I'm disappointed. They are, after all, her Majesty's Official Opposition.
