Conservative MP's Racist, Sexist, Homophobic comments

Saskatchewan Tory MP Tom Lukiwski is in trouble after the provincial NDP released a video-tape. NDP M-L-A Pat Atkinson released the tape which contains sexist, racist, and homophobic comments. Those on the tape are current Premier Brad Wall who makes fun of Ukrainians and Regina MP Tom Lukiwski.
Lukiwski was a Tory organizer at the time, while Wall was a ministerial aide.
While Lukiwski said this about gays, ‘Let me put it to you this way. There's A's and B's. The A's are guys like me. The B's are homosexual faggots with dirt in their fingernails that transmit diseases.' ” Wall was only marginally less offensive in mocking Ukrainian Canadians.

The Conservative-Sask Party veil has fallen. Lukiwski should be turfed from the Conservative Caucus and Wall needs to make a full public apology to the Ukrainian Canadian community.
