Why a B.C. Candidate’s Old Comments Are Causing Waves

Did you know that a guy running for office in B.C. made some really upsetting comments online? We're talking about old posts that are raising a lot of eyebrows, even an apology couldn't calm things down. This isn't just about Muslim groups being upset, it's also about comments that mock Indigenous people and compare leaders to Nazi soldiers. Even the B.C. Conservatives can't seem to agree on what to do about this situation. Is this what politics should look like?

Why does it matter if these comments are old? Shouldn't someone running for office have better things to say, even in the past? And is an apology enough to make up for it? Some people are saying that the B.C. Conservatives aren't doing enough to vet their candidates, which is making people doubt who they can trust. It's a tricky situation that's getting everyone talking.
