Provincial New Democrat leader Carole James has told reporters she just found out today about Mabel Elmore's controversial comments concerning "vocal Zionists." This, despite the fact those comments - which Ms. James described as "offensive" - were reported on four years ago. But Ms. James said Ms. Elmore's apology means she will be the party's candidate in Vancouver-Kensington in the next election. Although she added that apology should have come sooner. The following is a recording of that scrum.
« Elmore: "I didn't know that...it carries an anti-Semitic meaning." | Main | Pollock: "I shall certainly be transferring my membership to another constituency..." »
James: "The comments were clearly unacceptable."
