For the second time this week, the B.C. Conservative Party has dismissed a candidate over inappropriate remarks.

Mischa Popoff, the candidate for Boundary-Similkameen, was dropped by the party late Thursday after making comments that were “insensitive and disrespectful” to women and single mothers.

It was revealed that Popoff refused to apologize for a newspaper article in which he criticized single mothers for having children “without a man at their side.” He also apparently called the Missing Women’s Inquiry “a waste of time.”

"Mr. Popoff's various comments were insensitive and disrespectful, particularly to women and single mothers who are, in fact, heroes to their children and their communities in many cases. We are a party that believes in a respectful airing of views,” a statement from the party read.

The news comes on the heels of Ian Tootill’s release from the party just two days ago.

The Vancouver-False Creek candidate was fired Wednesday over “shameful” Twitter comments about Hitler and the rise of Nazism.

In October 2012 Tootill posted on Twitter "Who's really to blame? Hitler or the people who acted on his words?” and in May 2011 he posted a derogatory comment about women.

Party leader John Cummins denounced the incidents as “downright shameful” and said disrespectful comments will not be tolerated by the party.

This is the third candidate to be removed from the party this week. On Monday, North Vancouver-Lonsdale candidate Jeff Sprague quit suddenly to deal with what is being called an “unfortunate personal incident.”

The B.C. Conservatives are running 55 candidates across the province in the upcoming May 14 election.
