The leader of New Brunswick's Progressive Conservatives has ditched a candidate who reposted a Facebook message that suggested violence against a transgender person.
Blaine Higgs says he was disturbed by the reposting of the meme by Roland Michaud, the party's candidate in Victoria-La Vallee.
Higgs said he only became aware of the repost today.
The post suggested a transgender woman should be punched for trying to use a woman's washroom.
Michaud wasn't immediately available for comment.
