The Victoria-Beacon Hill BC Conservatives candidate has been fired just over one hour after social media posts of his were brought up by the BC NDP.

Joachim Agou is a candidate in Victoria-Beacon Hill, and up until Thursday afternoon was the Conservative candidate.

Just after 11 a.m., the BC NDP candidate for Surrey City Centre, Amna Shah, shared tweets of Agou’s which she said contained “horrific racism.”

In one, Agou is responding to a video of a car hitting pro-Palestine protesters in Switzerland, to which he says: “He should have reversed too!!!”
