      From: brewnoserii@gmail.com              On Friday, September 11, 2015 at 11:51:19 AM UTC-7, a swing vote riding wrote:       > Neck and neck with the Liberal candidate, Deb Schulte, in the preliminary       polls.       > Ladies, you know what you have to do . . . .       > _________________________________________________________              Followup:              Konstantin Toubis, the Conservative candidate for the GTA riding of       King-Vaughan, admitted Thursday that he had shared a series of controversial       Russian-language articles about sex and gender -- which he said he did not       write -- on his personal Facebook        page.              However, he said the articles didn't reflect his views as "a married man with       a daughter." He said he linked to the material "because it was ridiculous."              "Yes, it was reposted, and yes it was on my wall," Toubis told the Star. "No,       it's not my values, it's not who I am."              Toubis said he has no intention of stepping down, and that he didn't think the       posts should interfere with him running for public office. "I don't see any       problem for me to be a candidate."              In response to questions from the Star, Conservative spokesperson Stephen       Lecce provided a quote from Toubis, in which he reiterated that the articles       he shared "do not reflect how I feel or who I am." Lecce declined to answer       when asked whether the        posts were appropriate, or if Toubis would still stand for the party in       King-Vaughan.              The posts were first reported by Press Progress, a news website that describes       itself as "a media project of the Broadbent Institute," a think-tank chaired       by former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent.              Toubis linked to the articles, between July 2014 and last March, according to       Press Progress. One of them purports to give advice to men. "A man never       raises his hand to a woman . . . . There are other body parts to raise for a       woman," reads a portion,        according to the Press Progress translation. "If you catch your girlfriend       with a woman, you have the right to silently undress and join them," reads       another.              One article Toubis shared asserted that if a man likes women with "bony       behinds," it is "a sign of a latent homosexual," Press Progress said.       _______________________________              Even more of a problem with this man is that he doesn't 'see' a problem with       his postings or his views.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
