Terence Young, the Conservative candidate and incumbent MP for Oakville, said last week a Liberal government would mandate brothels and the selling of women.

During his closing statement at an all-candidates debate in Oakville last week, Young had a question for the audience: “Do you want communities in Oakville that are quiet and safe where our largest investment, our homes, retain their value as they do now, or communities where a federal Liberal government mandates legally protected brothels with madames and all that goes with that because the Liberals have promised to legalize the selling of women in Canada?”

A woman in the crowd is heard saying, “What?” and sighing loudly. A moderator interrupts —”Order please.”

Young continued: “And mandates marijuana stores like in Vancouver where there are more illegal marijuana stores than Starbucks, and mandates drug injection sites with no local input from the neighbours? One day most of us plan to sell our homes. What family would invest their life savings in a home near a marijuana store, a brothel or a drug injection site?

“Our prime minister is not a backslapping, baby-kissing kind of politician. He’s a serious man in a serious job.”
