Candidate for Manitoba PC leader under fire for social-media post that referred to opponent’s Muslim faith

January 15, 2025
One of the two candidates for the leadership of the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives is under fire over a social media post that referred to his opponent’s Muslim faith.Wally Daudrich’s campaign Facebook page recently reposted a message from a user named Vicki Poutine. Poutine’s post quoted a newsletter from the Daudrich campaign that condemned antisemitism and attacks on Jews. Poutine added to the end of the post: “We must stop Muslim Obby Khan from becoming the Conservative leader.”Daudrich’s campaign manager says the message was reposted by a staff member who did not notice the wording at the end, and the post was taken down as soon as it was brought to the team’s attention.
