The British Columbia Conservatives have dumped a candidate in the provincial election after he was accused of posting online remarks about Hitler and the Holocaust.

Here it is:

The Conservatives announced his removal from the slate less than an hour after NDP candidate Callista Ryan, who is running in Vancouver-Quilchena, posted screenshots on social media platform X showing what she said were McIntosh’s posts.

One post under the name “DeathNight” says Hitler “may not have intended death” during the Holocaust, and that “lots of Jews died” not because Hitler “hated them specifically” but because there were so many of them.

As for how people found the connection:

McIntosh’s LinkedIn profile shows he graduated from high school last year.

Ryan said in her post that it appeared McIntosh thought he could use a “nameless Twitter account to say many awful, offensive things.”

McIntosh declined to comment when reached by phone, saying only that he would call back.

An Apple Music artist profile for a musician called “DeathNight” lists Jordan Zheng McIntosh as their lyricist, composer and producer.

Jordan Zheng McIntosh is the full name of the Conservatives’ former candidate, according to Elections BC.

“lots of Jews died” not because Hitler “hated them specifically” but because there were so many of them.

This is almost comical. I mean, its not... its horrific. I'm baffled at how someone could use that to explain away the deaths of millions of jews, the basically walking skeletons, physical gas chambers, and all the other evidence. What an absolute looser.

Was he for Hitler or against? Those losers could go either way...

Looks like the British Columbians need to combat the elitist BC Conservatives.
