Controversial mayoralty candidate in Thompson no longer running

A candidate for mayor in Thompson, Man. who made past comments supporting white supremacy is dropping out of the race.

Ryan Brady made the comments almost 10 years ago when he founded a group that he called the “Winnipeg White Pride Warriors.”

In his comments on social media he referred to immigrants as “vermin” and made disparaging remarks about Jews, Asians and Indigenous people.
