Ontario Progressive Conservative candidate Stephen Lecce, who served as training minister within the Doug Ford authorities, is apologizing on Wednesday after he got here beneath fireplace for taking part in a “slave public sale” occasion when he was a part of a fraternity at Western College within the late 2000s.
The report was first revealed by PressProgress and detailed how Lecce was a part of the public sale occasion to lift cash for charity in his second 12 months of college at Sigma Chi fraternity in 2006. Lecce, who is also the PC MPP for King-Vaughan, has since responded to the story with an apology, and didn’t deny his involvement.
However as Matthew Bingley reviews, it has some questioning whether or not the apology shall be sufficient within the midst of the Ontario election and a few, together with one of many province’s largest unions representing lecturers, are calling for him to withdraw his candidacy or for the celebration to do it for him.

So tired of the hypocrisy. Trudeau can wear black face multiple times but is still in office. Everyone should be held to the same standard. This is just a ploy to discredit this party. I would never vote for Liberals or ndp.If anyone thinks liberals or ndp is a good choice I feel sorry for you. Canada is going downhill fast.
Who cares. We have a PM who wears black face. Let that sink in.
Do you people know where the word slave came from??? White European slavic nations that were slaves hundreds years ago…facts do matter..learn history
🤣woke
another black face, hypocrite
Where they at least up for a good price.
Anything these scumbag journalists can do to damage conservatives and the ridiculous racist nonsensical finger pointing is disgraceful ! When will these racist clowns stop crying “ racism “. ? Getting really tired of hearing about it as it is blaming whites nonsensically ! ! 😳🤮😡
The libs have nothing to win with or can never win arguments so they just discredit others instead. Discrediting does not mean you were right
More than 10 years ago. We have all grown up since then. It had NOTHING to do with race. Let it go.
Please…..he appogized..get on with it.. ahhh have you forgot about black face
what a weak man. own your past. not a big deal.
There should be a line up….sing, Trudeau…the treatment and name calling they have done….disgusting
Perfect timing😂🤦🏽♂️ who cares what Karen gotta say
does anyone know what the word slave means (clue: it has nothing to do with the colour of your skin) ….? ..what a joke lol he has nothing to apologize for, ….unless the people who where being auctioned where ONLY p.o.c. then i dont see anything wrong.
he should be fine, pepe le pew (pierre poilievre) hasn't officially said sorry for using the known racist term of "tar baby" i think a charity auction for paying for a days work of your choice will be fine.
Who cares
Came here for the conservative apologetics. 🍿 Nice to see all the sock puppet accounts came out too.
If you search very well, you will find that a lot of people in Canada are secretly brought up with racism. So Stephen Lecce is not the only one.
Give it a rest- this happened 14 years ago when he was a student. If this man is ejected, so should the prime minister.
🙄
So much cringe…
It's part of the rituals of growing…
PC PARTY is truly showing their colours lately… don’t vote for them
Jesus Christ man people make mistakes. I’m so tired of racial politics. Let people grow up and learn. Deal with the skeletons in your own closet before bashing someone else.
P.S Karen Brown is a joke. 🙂
They are all the same. Evil from the day they were born.
He scared that he got caught that's all. It's a big joke to him.
Slave Trade Lecce
Steven Loser, proud member of the Doug Fraud government.
If it weren't for the Liberals and NDP being even worse, the Conservatives would be wiped out in the coming election.
This is how the left lives. That no matter how young you were , it doesn't matter . So maybe we shouldn't have any Men to run for public office because the left believe that all Men are dogs. Would it not interview the man to understand what happened and have it understood that some things are a no no. Maybe the liberal, NDP,Greens should learn to be tolerating of others.
Apologize for nothing. Show no weakness. Ever.
Pathetic. Who could look to weak men for leadership? Betas and women maybe.
For every single apologist for Lecce on here, it does make us laugh when the shoe is on the other foot.
So what. Apologies are worth nothing. Perpetrators keep thinking apologies are all it takes to commit racist abuse. Let me guess, "it was 18 years ago, he did not know what he was doing" and other gaslighting and other cruelties occur! Typical, nothing being done. No consequences, huh. Interesting. Stephen you know where to stick you apologies. PC government your disgusting for keeping it on as a candidate, but again typical. No surprises with you lot, just lowered expectations as per usual.
This is more about weak-minded people using this as an opportunity to virtue signal than it is about any real outrage.
SLAVE AUCTIONS happen today in Libya at the hands of MUSLIM SUPREMACISTS.
Not white supremacists, so no media attention is given.
OFFS!!
don't apologize, black face didn't, and in case blacks didn't know this, many whites and every other race in history has been slaves, so don't apologize.
I would like to see Lecce publicly apologize in front of the media and all of Ontario instead of hiding away somewhere.
Sure it reflects who he is. Oherwise he wouldn't be in a " slave auction "
Do a blackface tour….Canadians will love you & you may end up as PM!
BLOODY TAINT
REALLY
MINISTER OF WHAT?
C'MON SERIOUSLY
ITS A TWISTED SICKNESS
NO MORE FREE PASES FOR ONCE
ENOUGH DO WHAT IS RIGHT
ZERO TOLLERENCE
MINISTERS ARE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD
OUR REPRESENTITIVES !!!
NOT SOMETHING I WANT REPRESENTING ANYTHING WHEN THE POSITION IS CONECTED TO
THAT WHICH REQUIRES THE HIGHEST INTEGRETY THERE IS TOO MUCH THREATENING THE CHILDREN TODAY THIS IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE THAT SHOULD BE THE LAST STRAW ON EARTH A HARSH EXAMPLE SHOULD BE MADE
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR GROSS MISCONDUCT IN A POSITION SUCH AS HIS
WHAT ARE THE FUTURE AGAIN?
Lecce is a failed human being.
No apologies, ever.
Was it the groping of the female reporter without consent, or the racist Blackface that was easiest for Liberal party members to forgive?
It is racist to associate the word "Slave "with a black person. In history, many other people groups were sold into slavery. The Roman Empire had slaves of all races, England had white slaves, until the Norman invasion. And so did the Turkish Ottoman Empire (in the same time period as black slaves in America).
