Conservatives stick by candidate accused of denying made up history of residential schools

OTTAWA – A leading residential school expert is questioning the Conservative party’s decision to stick with a candidate accused of denying the history of residential schools.

In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn — the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia — has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.”

Sounds like a keeper.
