(CBC) Just weeks before the federal election campaign gets into full swing, Quebec candidate Hassan Guillet was canned by the Liberal Party on Friday after a national Jewish organization accused him of making anti-Semitic comments.
But Guillet, who denies all allegations, is not throwing in the towel just yet.
He says he has not resigned and “I do not betray the dreams of all those who believed in me and gave me their trust.”
The statement was published to his Facebook page late Saturday evening. Guillet says he and his team are studying all options and he will hold a press conference on Wednesday in the Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel riding.
