A flyer shared with Regina residents ahead of the municipal election is sparking debate on endorsements, as some candidates feel they’ve been misrepresented in what they stand for and believe.
Over the weekend, pamphlets were placed on a number of car windows that claimed Regina schools and students are being inundated with sexual teachings.
Photos of the pamphlets, viewed by Global News, show a list of school trustee and city councillor candidates the flyer claims would get sexual teachings out of the classroom.
Alex Tkach a candidate running for councillor in Regina’s Ward 8 said he was frustrated to find his name on that list.
“Just arbitrarily adding somebody to a list and then making allusions that I advocate or feel a certain way around something is a whole other layer of that frustration,” Tkach said.
“We spent the day doing damage control to our reputations over spending time during the last few days of a campaign which is completely unfair.”
The pamphlet is in part attributed to Wayne Bernakevitch, the founder of the Regina Civic Action Awareness Network (RCAAN).
When reached by phone, Bernakevitch told Global News he and RCAAN were not involved in producing the pamphlet which he said was made by a friend of his, but said he did give permission for his name to used.
