    Saskatchewan MP Tom Lukiwski Denies Calling NDP Candidate Whore In Video Posted By Reporter

    The Canadian Press, 19 Nov, 2015 11:51 AM
      MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A Conservative MP from Saskatchewan says he "categorically" denies calling a provincial NDP candidate a whore.
       
      A reporter from Moose Jaw has posted a video that shows Tom Lukiwski urging his supporters to help Saskatchewan Party legislature member Greg Lawrence in the provincial election slated for April.
       
      Lukiwski is heard to say: "We've got to get Greg back elected. He's too important of an MLA to let go down to an NDP whore just because of a bad boundary."
       
      A debate immediately emerged on Twitter as to whether he said "whore" or "horde."
       
       
      The video is posted on the personal blog of a reporter in Moose Jaw, who says she has resigned from the local paper after it refused to published her story.
       
      Craig Slater, managing editor of the Moose Jaw Times Herald, says the paper sought out Lukiwski to get his side of the story and the MP said he used the word "horde."
       
      Lawrence says he didn't hear Lukiwski's comments at the time, but acknowledges that it sounds like the word "whore" on the video.
