OTTAWA - An NDP candidate in British Columbia apologized Sunday for removing his clothes in front of minors at an environmental retreat 12 years ago.
Julian West said in a statement that he made a "serious error in judgement" by shedding his clothes a number of times, but stressed that nothing else inappropriate occurred.
Jack Layton says:
"Some campaigns seem to be based on people's efforts to get out the shovel and start digging around."
No kidding. There is obviously some kind of concerted effort to uncover dirt on NDP candidates. But the NDP isn't helping itself. It wants to be the governing party and it's recruiting candidates whose judgement is really open to question.
Not that I'm complaining, really.
