(CBC) A Progressive Conservative candidate running in the Prince Edward Island election is taking heat over some of her past posts on social media.
Advocacy group BIPOC USHR (which stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour United for Strength, Home, Relationship) says a community member told the group about a 2018 Facebook post in which Donalda Docherty shared an article calling for the niqab and burka to be banned in public places.
CBC News was not able to independently verify the post on Facebook, but the PC Party confirmed Docherty, who’s running in District 17: New Haven-Rocky Point, had shared the link.
