Global News published this video item, entitled “Ontario PC’s Stephen Lecce apologizes for participation in “slave auction” event at university frat” – below is their description.
Ontario Progressive Conservative candidate Stephen Lecce, who served as education minister in the Doug Ford government, is apologizing on Wednesday after he came under fire for participating in a “slave auction” event when he was part of a fraternity at Western University in the late 2000s.
The report was first published by PressProgress and detailed how Lecce was part of the auction event to raise money for charity in his second year of university at Sigma Chi fraternity in 2006. Lecce, who also is the PC MPP for King-Vaughan, has since responded to the story with an apology, and did not deny his involvement.
But as Matthew Bingley reports, it has some questioning whether the apology will be enough in the midst of the Ontario election and some, including one of the province’s biggest unions representing teachers, are calling for him to withdraw his candidacy or for the party to do it for him.
