Sources in the Official Opposition BC United party have leaked a file on the 91裸聊视频渆xtremism91裸聊视频� of the B.C. Conservatives91裸聊视频� executive director, Angelo Isidorou, less than two weeks after the parties91裸聊视频� leaders announced a deal to work together.
The document depicts Isidorou91裸聊视频檚 involvement in the People91裸聊视频檚 Party of Canada as a founding member, his 91裸聊视频渁dmiration91裸聊视频� of right-wing figures including Donald Trump, and includes what it calls a 91裸聊视频渨hite power91裸聊视频� photo of him wearing a Make America Great Again cap while making a hand gesture it says is associated with the alt-right movement.
The seven-page report titled 91裸聊视频淎ngelo Isidorou91裸聊视频檚 Extremism91裸聊视频� was intended for use in the province91裸聊视频檚 Oct. 19 election, but was compiled before BC United Leader Kevin Falcon suspended his party91裸聊视频檚 campaign last month, urging support for the B.C. Conservatives instead.
B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad says of the claims that Isidorou is a 91裸聊视频渃apable individual,91裸聊视频� and he91裸聊视频檚 more concerned with defeating Premier David Eby91裸聊视频檚 New Democrats than about the people working behind the scenes in his own party.
Isidorou, who describes himself as a Canadian conservative who abhors all forms of extremism, says in a statement he was being a 91裸聊视频渄umb91裸聊视频� first-year university student when he wore the MAGA hat at the opening of the former Trump International Hotel and Tower in 2017.
He says the hand gesture is 91裸聊视频渋nnocuous91裸聊视频� and he 91裸聊视频渦tterly91裸聊视频� rejects it having a meaning other than 91裸聊视频淥K.91裸聊视频�
The opposition research document also included screenshots of Isidorou91裸聊视频檚 social media activity, including a post saying, 91裸聊视频淏uckle up, it91裸聊视频檚 riot season,91裸聊视频� in connection to Black Lives Matter protests.
It also shared a post from Isidorou about the 2023 election success of anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, saying: 91裸聊视频淔irst it was Argentina 91裸聊视频� today it91裸聊视频檚 the Netherlands. Tomorrow it will be Canada.91裸聊视频�
Isidorou resigned from the People91裸聊视频檚 Party of Canada in 2019.
The file about Isidorou was provided to The Canadian Press by BC United sources on condition of anonymity.
The future of the party has been in doubt since Falcon91裸聊视频檚 Aug. 28 announcement, with some of its MLAs now running as B.C. Conservative candidates and others as Independents.
