Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu is distancing himself from a Facebook post he published two years ago questioning the events of 9/11.

In the post, published on June 14, 2017, Mellalieu tried to connect the fatal fire at Grenfell Tower in West London on that day with the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001.

Seventy-two people died in the Grenfell Tower fire, while 2,606 people died when the twin towers of the World Trade Centre collapsed. Another 157 people died on board the two hijacked aircraft that terrorists used to fly into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre.

He also shared a link to a 9/11 conspiracy website in the Facebook post.

He apologized for the Facebook post on Tuesday and said he doesn91裸聊视频檛 support or promote 9/11 conspiracy theories.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 an analytical person and am careful to look at all aspects of an issue,91裸聊视频� said Mellalieu.

91裸聊视频淎fter digging deeper into the material, I have found that 9/11 conspiracies don91裸聊视频檛 add up. I do not support or promote 9/11 conspiracy theories. I91裸聊视频檓 sorry if I caused any confusion or distracted from the urgent crisis of climate change.91裸聊视频�

The Green Party of Canada would not comment any further on the matter.

It91裸聊视频檚 not the first time Mellalieu91裸聊视频檚 views have got him into trouble.

Last week he was one of two Okanagan Green Party candidates attacked by the NDP for comments they made about abortion.

According to a report by , Mellalieu refused to identify as 91裸聊视频減ro-choice91裸聊视频� or 91裸聊视频減ro-life91裸聊视频� because he said it was

inappropriate to simplify a complicated question with a simple binary answer.

He quickly retracted his statement, claiming the comments were 91裸聊视频渕isinterpreted.91裸聊视频�
