One of two presidential candidates for the upcoming Métis Nation of Alberta election has accused a federal minister of improper interference, after he posed for a photo with his opponent.
CBC NewsVoting for the new president of the MNA will open Sept. 13 and run until Sept. 19.
Joseph Pimlott, Sandmaier's opponent, said it was inappropriate of the minister to pose for the photo during an ongoing campaign. Pimlott added that the minister's office should have rescheduled the visit until after the elections, calling the photo "completely disrespectful" of his party's political agenda.
