NEW GLASGOW, N.S. (CP) — Green Leader Elizabeth May says she is giving the “benefit of the doubt” to a party candidate in Vancouver who described the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11 as beautiful.
Speaking in New Glasgow, N.S., today, May says she hasn’t spoken to Kevin Potvin but she expects him to clarify his position.
In a editorial written in November 2002 for the alternative newspaper The Republic of East Vancouver, Potvin wrote that when he saw the first tower fall a little voice inside him said “Yeah!”
When the second tower fell, he wrote that the voice said “Beautiful!”
May says she find the comments shocking and if those reflect his real views, Potvin will not be allowed to stand for the Greens in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway.
May says she has never spoken to Potvin and she finds the remarks “despicable.”
