Craig Chandler would be a HARD no from me. History of racism, sexism, anti-lgbtq, UCP organizer, western separation, kicked out of both the UCP and the Wildrose? Nooooope.
Some fun quotes from his troubled past
Quote:
One of the top campaigners for Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party says he stands by his claim that the Earls restaurant chain supports terrorists.
Craig Chandler, a well-known organizer and Kenney ally, revisited his controversial views on Earls while trolling an Edmonton-area radio station’s Facebook page over the weekend.
Chandler resigned in disgrace from the Alberta PC party executive two years ago after declaring that “Earls supports terrorists” because the restaurant chain happens to source beef from a supplier that also offers a line of halal products.

In 2007, Chandler was forced to apologize as part of a Canadian Human Rights Commission settlement for material that was posted on websites he controlled and for comments he made on his radio show. Among the statements listed in the complaint were suggestions that being gay is the result of a "genetic weakness" and that "God sees murder as equal to homosexuality…."
In 2012, Chandler reacted to the controversy surrounding former Wildrose candidate Allan Hunsperger's now-infamous "Lake of Fire" blog post in an article published in Calgary Beacon News.
"Although the wording Mr. Hunsperger chose could have been more Christ-like what he has said is biblically accurate. The delivery just made me rather uncomfortable," said Chandler.
"We are all sinners and have fallen short, but, for the grace of God are we saved. The lifestyle that is referred to is very clear in the Bible as not an acceptable one, just as a heterosexual lifestyle of screwing around on your wife (is not acceptable).
