The Alberta New Democratic Party has cut ties with its candidate in the riding of Calgary-Klein over a series of tweets. ohheydamien has this one. yyc
The party, which will be looking to dethrone Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party next year, said through a statement issued Thursday that Marilyn North Peigan’s comments on the social media platform “came after a continued pattern of behaviour that undermines this candidate’s ability to work with, or stand on behalf of, the Alberta NDP and its members.”
In her tweets, North Peigan spoke ill of both men, the family of one and of the Calgary Stampede board as a whole. “Notwithstanding this, the statements made on Twitter by a candidate for the NDP regarding the councillor’s family and the Stampede are not appropriate and do not reflect the views of the Alberta NDP.”
“On Tuesday evening I posted a number of tweets that were untrue, disrespectful, and hurtful. These messages were posted by me to my personal account. No one on my campaign team was involved, and I take full responsibility for the offending posts,” she said. “Finally, to Calgary Ward 13 City Councillor Dan McLean, I apologize for not engaging with these videos of you in a way that could have allowed us to move toward reconciliation. I denied you the opportunity to understand the trauma and pain caused by racist recordings like Brocket 99, and videos inspired by it. Instead, I lashed out at you from a place of anger, intending to cause pain, and for that I am sorry.
