Transition candidate called controversial

At this stage of a campaign, party chiefs often have to cope with having chosen controversial candidates. Craig Sauvé knows about that, but now he’s facing questions about bar owner Sergio Da Silva, running in St‑Jacques.

I’m not seeing a thing about this “issue” except on TVA’s site, and the so‑called scandals listed in the article are incredibly trivial. I suspect a journalist was sent out to find something they could shade to sound distasteful about Transition, and since Da Silva is one of the party’s stars, and has often expressed himself publicly long before he ran for office, they zeroed in on him.

Sauvé’s keeping him, and so he should.
