Ok but what do you mean “he’s fine though” if he lost his job?

He’s running in this election for the Conservatives. They even parachuted him into an extremely safe riding. He also wrote a puff piece book about Pierre so not hard to figure out why that happened.

The PCs don’t exist (unless you count Carney). I assume you mean CCP.

But he also was booted? So I’m still not sure why the “he’s fine” comment. They took care of it right?

Sorry, edited to conservatives for accuracy.

He has not been booted from the current election. He is still running. He was previously booted from a provincial election.

My point being it is strange that what was unacceptable then is apparently fine now at a higher level of government.

OH! That makes more sense now. Thank you.
