Having already raged online against abortion, Muslim dress, same-sex marriage, and the banning of 'gay conversion' therapy, a conservative candidate for office in Ontario, Canada has been dropped after damning recordings emerged.
In the leaked video footage, Tanya Granic Allen, a candidate for the centre-right Progressive Conservative (PC) Party, can be heard saying that same-sex marriage makes her "almost vomit".
The remarks were made in 2014 at a Croatian-Catholic Youth conference in Ontario.
“When I think of the suffering of the people who lived in [Croatia] and the suffering that went on during the war, the sacrifices of generations of families, was it all for nothing?" Allen asked at the conference.
She added: “Did these people spill these blood on the frontlines… for what? For a values system and for the Catholic faith. But was that blood spilled for nothing?"
“What I hear about [Croatia] trying to push radical sexual education on the young or gay marriage, you know I almost vomit in disbelief."
She continued, comparing same-sex marriage to communism: “How can this be happening? Just 20 years ago we were liberated from this communism, and now we’re embracing a lack of values and a lack of ideals that commies would have us embrace?”
PC Party leader Doug Ford was forced to address Allen's comments in the video after it circulated on social media.
“Tanya Granic Allen will no longer be a candidate for the Ontario PC Party," Ford said in a statement.
He continued: “We are a party comprised of people with diverse views that if expressed responsibly we would respect. However, the fact is her characterisation of certain issues and people has been irresponsible.”
Ford had previously defended Allen's anti-LGBT views.
