However, there is no question that several WRP (and, to be fair, at least one PC) candidates are homophobic. And at least one WRP candidate has made offensive racial remarks. It does not reflect well on the party.

I have no doubt that many members of both the PC and WRP could be classified as bigots, homophobes, racists etc. It does not change the factual nature of the tweet.
You are exactly right about what he is implying though, and as far as I am concerned, that has no place in what I want Canadian politics to be.
