(CBC) A national Muslim advocacy organization says it’s “deeply alarmed” a candidate to lead Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative Party shared a Facebook entry that declared his Muslim rival must be prevented from winning the race.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims has asked PC leadership candidate Wally Daudrich to apologize after his campaign shared a Facebook post that ended with the statement “We must stop Muslim Obby Khan from becoming Conservative leader.”
Daudrich, who owns a hotel and ecotourism company in the Hudson Bay town of Churchill, Man., and Khan, the Progressive Conservative MLA for the Winnipeg constituency of Fort Whyte, are the only two candidates in Manitoba’s PC leadership race.
