Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion has dismissed a Winnipeg candidate who wrote that Israeli companies renting offices at the World Trade Center in 2001 vacated them beforehand because they had advance warning of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The firing was an about-face for Mr. Dion who initially resisted calls for the dismissal of Lesley Hughes, the Liberal candidate in the riding of Kildonan-St. Paul.
It came after mounting pressure from Canada's Jewish community, including the Canadian Jewish Congress, for a stronger response from the Dion campaign.
