STONEY CREEK, Ont. — Premier Kathleen Wynne says she has accepted apologies from two Liberal candidates over “inappropriate” postings on Facebook.

On Monday, Wynne said she had spoken to Niagara West-Glanbrook candidate David Mossey about what she called an “inappropriate picture” on his Facebook page as well as Ottawa Liberal candidate Jack Uppal.

“I’ve had the opportunity to speak to them and I know they apologized,” Wynne told reporters Tuesday. “The comments were inappropriate and the correct actions were taken.

“As the first female premier (of Ontario) I’ve spent my life dealing with…inappropriateness in society. The fact is there are comments that are made that should not be made. I wish we lived in a reality where everyone in every political party was completely appropriate and respectful of everyone.”

Mossey’s post, which was pointed out to the media by the Progressive Conservatives, was from March last year and showed two photographs of women’s bikini-clad behinds with the words “no squats” and “squats” above them, in reference to the exercise move.
