Red Deer UCP nominee against “outing kids” despite social media criticism
A nominee for the UCP nod in Red Deer – North is on the defensive following his attendance at Pride in the Park over the weekend.
Cole Kander denies saying the things someone he spoke to at the event is now claiming.
On Sunday evening, Josh McLean, a former local radio host who goes by @RadioMcLean, tweeted, “After meeting the @Alberta_UCP red deer north candidate at pride today, I’m really excited to vote for the NDP in 2019. He flat out told me the UCP thinks outing gay kids is the right thing to do. Curious why @CentralABPride let him set up shop #ableg #yqf.”
The tweet has been liked and retweeted hundreds of times, including by the likes of MLAs Marie Renaud, Michael Connolly and Sandra Jansen.
