The Liberal Party of Canada has dropped its candidate in the Calgary Confederation riding, due to the candidate’s failure to disclose a 20-year-old domestic assault charge that was stayed six weeks after it was laid, CBC News has learned.
Thomas Keeper, a 49-year-old real estate broker in Calgary, was announced as the Liberal candidate in Calgary Confederation on March 11.
Court records show that Keeper was charged with common assault on June 6, 2005. The complainant was Keeper’s wife at the time, according to divorce records.
