A candidate for British Columbia’s provincial election, kicked from the Conservatives over online posts the NDP called racist, says he is truly sorry.
Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate Joachim Agou says on social media that he takes responsibility for his words but rejects any accusation of racism.
In one post, Agou said a car that drove through a pro-Palestine protest “should have reversed” over demonstrators, while another showed him sharing a meme that used an expletive to describe Pakistan.

Interim Conservative Party leader Lorne Doerkson said the posts are inexcusable and that, if Agou is elected Oct. 24, he will not be part of the Conservative caucus.
- Russ Wyatt voted out of Winnipeg city council, Lora Meseman to represent Transcona
- ‘Local Governance 101’ Okanagan community’s first-ever council trains ahead of inaugural meeting
- Lorne Doerkson says Conservatives committed to all campaign promises
- Feds open to supporting elements of Divorce Act amendments, but fate unclear
Regarding the protest post, Agou says he should have expressed himself “more clearly and calmly,” stating that such demonstrations “should not bring a city to a standstill or put lives at risk.”
He also says he understands why the Tories withdrew their support and will run as an independent in the riding considered to be an NDP stronghold.

October 9, 2026, are you a bot? An Alberta separatist? A MAGA sycophant? Why not give the BC Conservatives a call, they will back up this story. Global news being an NDP media? LOLOLOL Quite the opposite.
Too little, too late. He is apologizing for having been caught, period. British Columbians need to take out this trash. DO NOT vote for the MAGA Maple Conservative Party – they will harm this Province.
Sorry, I guess i’ve been in a coma the last two weeks. I had no idea it was the other way around, and the NDP are in dire straits. Uggg, look at that polling.
First mistake was not abandoning the corrupt Liberal infiltrated party. Second mistake was apologizing.
Guys like him are the reason that conservatives are in such dire straits. No one votes conservative because so many candidates are closet whack jobs.
Just another nobody desperate for attention
Everything we say or do is racist nowadays
Global B.C. news and there commentators are all NDP, they will start to make up stories.
Don’t fcking apologize! Don’t bow down to the reetards!
Whatever. The many millions of voters committed to ending the NDP in 2 weeks won’t be changing their minds over this one dude.
When you have every culture in the world living in one country there is going to be disagreements and I don’t think it should be called racists. Can’t help but wonder what race causes the most problems ,,, maybe we need LESS of them. Get along or LEAVE
