| Description | A Liberal party official's posting of "racist" comments on a website, comparing Jack Layton's Chinese-born wife Olivia Chow to a dog, was "no joke," the NDP leader said Thursday.
Mike Klander, executive vice-president of the federal Liberal party's Ontario wing, stepped down Boxing Day after photographs of Chow - who is also an NDP candidate in Toronto - and a chow chow dog were posted on his blog, under the heading Separated at Birth.
"I frankly never expected that we would face such things, that a candidate would be singled out," Layton said in his first public appearance since before Christmas.
"I certainly hope racial slurs will come to an end in this campaign." |
