A Conservative party candidate, Don Patel, was removed from his position in Etobicoke North over a controversial social media comment suggesting some individuals should be deported to India. This incident marks one of several recent candidate controversies within both the Conservative and Liberal parties, highlighting the increasing scrutiny on candidate behavior. The Conservative Party denounced Patel's remarks, underscoring its commitment to Canadians' safety. Other candidates who experienced removal included those making threats against former Prime Minister Trudeau and making unfounded claims about geopolitical events. In parallel, Liberal incumbent Paul Chiang and another candidate were also dropped for serious missteps.
The Conservative Party confirmed that Don Patel, a candidate in Etobicoke North, is "no longer a candidate" due to his involvement in an unacceptable social media comment.
Endorsing such a statement is clearly unacceptable," the Conservative campaign spokesperson stated, emphasizing the party's commitment to the safety and security of Canadians.
