NDP LAWMAKER APOLOGIZES FOR NAZI COMPARISON

A member of Manitoba’s Opposition

New Democrats apologized Friday for comparing a government minister to a Nazi. Ted Marcelino drew fire for remarks a day earlier when he accused Crown Services Minister Ron Schuler of repeatedly stating false information about Manitoba Hydro. “That’s the propaganda style of Joseph Goebbels — the minister of propaganda of the National Socialist Party during the time of somebody’s friend, Adolf.” Premier Brian Pallister said the remark was an insult to all Manitobans.
