B.C. Conservatives dump candidate accused of making Hitler remarks

VICTORIA — The British Columbia Conservatives have dumped a candidate in the provincial election after he was accused of posting online remarks about Hitler and the Holocaust.

The party says Vancouver-Strathcona candidate Jordan McIntosh is no longer a Conservative candidate and if elected he would not sit in the caucus.

The Conservatives announced his removal from the slate less than an hour after NDP candidate Callista Ryan posted screenshots on social media platform X, showing what she said were McIntosh’s posts.

One post under the name “DeathNight” says Hitler “may not have intended death” during the Holocaust, and that “lots of Jews died” not because Hitler “hated them specifically” but because there were so many of them.
