Tory MP Keddy apologizes for referring to unemployed as 'no-good bastards'

A Conservative MP from Nova Scotia says he's sorry for calling unemployed people in Halifax "no-good bastards." Gerald Keddy issued the apology in a statement today after the Opposition and advocates for the homeless condemned comments he made in a Halifax newspaper. According to the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, Keddy said some farm operators in the province hire migrant labourers because Nova Scotians won't do it, referring to them as, "all those no-good bastards sitting on the sidewalk in Halifax that can't get work."
