Liberals dump candidate who questioned work ethic of aboriginals

This is very unfortunate. The fact the candidate was of Métis background doesn't change the odiousness of his comments. The Party was right to remove his name from the list:

COMPTON, QUE.—A Liberal candidate who questioned the work ethic of aboriginals and called them "featherheads" has been dumped by the party.

André Forbes, the party's flag-bearer in the Quebec riding of Manicouagan, is no longer running for the party, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said.
