VANCOUVER — British Columbia's Conservative leader says comparing the Nuremberg trials or Nazi Germany to public health measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic is unacceptable and"deeply disrespectful to the memory of those who suffered" in the Holocaust.
Rustad now says he wants to"clarify" his comments made during a conversation with members of the BC Public Service Employees for Freedom group. He says it's a"distortion of history" to compare pandemic public health measures with Nazi Germany or the Nuremberg trials, which sought accountability for the Holocaust.
They have also included a sign erected outside Vancouver billionaire Chip Wilson's home last week, calling the NDP"communist."
