Defence Minister Peter MacKay has called for NDP Leader Jack Layton to fire a Nova Scotia NDP candidate for her behaviour Thursday at a Halifax peace protest.Recommend this Post
But the party says the candidate did nothing wrong.
Halifax West NDP candidate Tamara Lorincz was among a group of Halifax Peace Coalition protesters demonstrating outside the Cunard Centre on Marginal Road. They were protesting the DEFSEC Atlantic 2008 exhibition, a trade show for defence contractors.
Ms. Lorincz hollered at some uniformed members of the Canadian Armed Forces as they drove by.
"This is a racket and it should be shut down," she yelled. "We need a peace economy, not a military economy."
That shows that Ms. Lorincz is "unfit for public office," said Mr. MacKay.
"I felt physically ill," he said Sunday in an interview. "I thought it was just one of the most disgusting things I’ve heard in a long time. I honestly believe Jack Layton should pull that woman’s nomination papers."
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

It's too bad she wasn't around for Junior's potato patch interview.
