He dropped former leadership rival Tanya Granic Allen from the PC campaign roster for past homophobic remarks Doug Ford called ”irresponsible,” now the Liberals are calling on the Tory leader to do the same with another candidate for comments Andrew Lawton made in the past.

The London West candidate has blamed his remarks about women, Islam and the LGBTQ community on his struggle with mental illness.

But Liberal campaign co-chair Deb Matthews feels the PCs should drop Lawton just as they did Granic Allen.
