Outrage

The Green Party candidate for the B.C. riding of Fleetwood-Port Kells has resigned over a quotation about rape on his Facebook page.

The Surrey Leader newspaper...reported that, on the Facebook page, Mr. Saldanha's favourite quote was listed as: "If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it!"

Reading the article in the paper it stated that he was misquoted and that he meant "Confucius says, if rape is inevitable, lay back and enjoy it." Then he continued on the say that he "liked it" and posted it on a status update.

He has since resigned from the Green party and they are back pedalling. Come on already.

This is really disgusting. Not just that he said it, but that he is in an election to be in a position of power in the first place.

Powerful people should be held to an even higher moral standard than anyone else. They are LEADERS! People follow them! I want to PUKE thinking about it!

I hate politics, religion and economics. Now I am reminded why.

Join me and my poly family and friends for SlutWalk Vancouver. We will all be wearing pink scarves or boas. And dressing as slutty as we can.

It is time we stood up for ourselves and our fellow humans. No means no! Red means STOP! And no one has the right to attack anyone no matter what they look like!
