A Canadian Conservative parliamentary candidate has dropped out of the race after footage emerged of him urinating into a mug in someone else's home.

Jerry Bance, who had been standing for the Conservative Party in a Toronto district, was caught on a video camera which had been set up in a home to expose workmen overcharging for repairs in 2012.

According to Canadian broadcaster CBC News, Mr Bance was filmed urinating into a mug before emptying its contents into the sink.

A second Toronto candidate has also been dropped from the Conservative candidate after he was identified in another video on YouTube making prank calls and mocking people with disabilities, CBC has reported.

1. Really. Was there anything else he could have done? . . .

[progree]

21. He was just practicing trickle-down economics, consistent with his core beliefs

Well, what he did saved a considerable amount of water too, so maybe he is also an "environmentalist whacko".

[Helen Borg]

2. Ridiculous...

What does that have anything to do with anything? For some reason, he probably had no access to a toilet. Also, it's not like pee is radioactive...

[mdbl]

3. you must not have seen the video

[Helen Borg]

4. Oh, they posted the video?

No, I did not see it

6. He was inside the house, peed in a mug, poured it in the sink.

I must assume that there were facilities available. What he did was just nasty, whether radioactive or not.

8. ROFLMAO.

[nichomachus]

17. Since there was a sink nearby, he could have just peed in the sink if he needed to. n/t

[Helen Borg]

18. I think he did not because...

There was the chance the owner would come back into the room. Being behind the counter would give him enough time to zip up and whatnot!

[LeftishBrit]

5. Ewww!

[Vinca]

7. Well, as long as he didn't fill his pants while sitting on the new sofa . . .

[MisterP]

24. just flip the cushion

[Thespian2]

9. in Canada, when one proves

themselves unworthy, publicly, he/she quits the race...or should do so...

[Orrex]

10. Another politician derailed by an embarrassing mugshot.

[fbc]

12. ... slow ... clap ...

[Javaman]

13. Well done. nt

[Chef Eric]

11. "Stephen Harper’s trickle-down economics"

This was the comment from the Leader of the New Democratic Party, Thomas Mulcair.

[tblue37]

20. Very funny! nt

[Judi Lynn]

28. Good one! n/t

[Javaman]

14. when you gotta go you gotta pee in a mug...

good thing he didn't have to do #2.

I'll leave now

[stillwaiting]

15. So many conservatives are such assholes. nt

[gregcrawford]

19. It doesn't matter what country you're in, eh?

Conservatives are lowlifes. Period. O Canada, land of my birth, wake the fuck UP! Get rid of Harper!

[Kotya]

22. I was hoping this thread was about Ted Cruz.

But if he dropped out of the race, I'm not sure anyone would notice.

[Judi Lynn]

29. It must be killing him to be relegated to lurking in Trump's shadow. Welcome to D.U., Kotya. n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

23. In some U.S. states

they would have re-elected him and sent him to Washington on a gold throne.

[yellowcanine]

25. Why would he do this???? Some kind of risky behavior jollies?

Only thing I can think of. Or perhaps Dr. Freud would have an explanation?

[yellowcanine]

26. If Trump did this his Republican poll ratings would probably double.

[louis-t]

27. Another bunch of conservative entitled pricks.

Conservatives really think they are better than everyone else and are entitled to special treatment. Sounds like mug urinater has some emotional issues, too.
