Last update :

Andrew Lawton, the federal Conservative candidate for Elgin-St. Thomas-London South speaks at party leader Pierre Poilievre's "Bring It Home" rally in London, Ontario on March 9, 2025.

An anti-Islamophobia advocacy group is urging the Conservatives to remove a London, Ont.-area candidate from the federal election ballot over past comments about marginalized groups. When reached by CBC News, Andrew Lawton pointed to an earlier social media post in which he said he was "reckless" while facing mental health challenges but will continue to do better.
