Jokes about the killing of Stephen Harper and his wife make it to the Chicago Sun-Times
Coming just days after Liberal MP Garth Turner made headlines for calling his political opponents "losers," St. Catharines Liberal candidate and former MP Walt Lastewka's newsletter contains a "joke" about the assassination of Laureen Harper and Stephen Harper by "friendly fire."
Liberal leader Stephane Dion will be in St. Catharines this evening to attend a barbecue and open house hosted by Lastewka. Today, St. Catharines MP Rick Dykstra called on Dion to use that opportunity to publicly repudiate the type of politics practiced by Lastewka in his riding association's Spring '08 Newsletter.
"I'm deeply disappointed," said Dykstra, "that the former MP and his riding association would find humour in such a subject. Stephane Dion must apologize for this disgraceful attack on the Prime Minister of Canada and force senior local liberals to do the same.'"
"Mr. Lastewka is not new to politics," Dykstra concluded. "He represented this riding for thirteen years. I'm shocked that he still hasn't learned the boundaries of appropriate political humour. I would invite others to read the newsletter, and draw their own conclusions." (CPC press release)
