felis_ultharusBrad Wall, the Conservative premier of Saskatchewan, is suing the Canadian Press newswire because he feels he was misrepresented by one of its headlines: “Tape with Sask premier and Tory MP has racist, sexist, homophobic comments: NDP.”
The problem? Premier Wall only mimicked a bad Ukrainian accent to mock Roy Romanow, the child of Ukrainian immigrants. He feels that the headline unfairly links him to sexism and homophobia, when he was only being racist.
The premier must be trying to capture that elusive gay-but-racist-against-Ukrainians swing vote that makes or breaks Saskatchewan elections.
