PC Leader Doug Ford removed one of his most high-profile pro-life candidates on Saturday. Tanya Granic Allen was given notice, due to comments she made on video. Allen is a strong pro-life, pro-family Christian candidate. Many see this removal as a censoring of Free Speech by government. Many are petitioning Doug Ford to re-instate Tanya.
You can Write to Doug Ford and Request that Tanya Granic Allen be Re-instated:
“Tanya Granic Allen will no longer be a candidate for Ontario PC Party,” Ford said in a statement. “We are a party comprised of people with diverse views that if expressed responsibly, we would respect. However, the fact is her characterization of certain issues and people has been irresponsible. Our party remains focused on defeating Kathleen Wynne and bringing relief to families across Ontario.”
Congratulations to @NatKusendova, the runner-up for Mississauga Centre, and our PC Candidate. She is a welcome addition to our strong and diverse PC team. I look forward to working with her to defeat Kathleen Wynne on June 7. #onpoli #pcpo
Ford announced that Natalia Kusendova, who finished second in the Mississauga-Centre PC nomination, would be his candidate in that riding.
I'm disappointed to have been told by @fordnation 's campaign manager that I'm no longer a candidate. I'll have more to say about this and Ontario politics in the coming days. #onpoli
Granic Allen is a mother of four. She describes herself as a person of faith and parents’ advocate, campaigned against Wynne’s controversial sex-ed curriculum.
She was also one of four PC leadership candidates. Granic Allen was the only one to stand beside Ford immediately after his win, and some believe she was instrumental in his success.
