TORONTO – A progressive conservative candidate is under fire Wednesday after a now-deleted tweet.
Wayne Wettlaufer, a PC candidate in Kitchener-Centre commented on female voter’s political knowledge in a response to a tweet from Ashley Csanady, a journalist with Queen’s Park briefing.
“I all too often find my female friends (outside of journalism circles) far far less engaged and informed about current affairs,” Csanady wrote on twitter. https://twitter.com/AshleyCsanady
