Candidate Drops Slur After AI Criticism | Winnipeg News

A mayoral candidate’s offensive online rant—complete with a homophobic slur and dismissive remarks about hiring—has ignited outrage, prompting calls for his immediate withdrawal from the race. Young activist Sydney Adams, who first reached out to call him out for using AI in campaign materials, condemned his response as unacceptable and questioned the vetting process for public office. Uminski, an electrician and father of four, refused media interviews and doubled down with a “lol no” when asked to step aside. Pride Winnipeg’s president insists any mayor must serve all communities, including 2SLGBTQ+ residents. With Election Day just weeks away, voters are left wondering if this candidate truly represents the city he seeks to lead.
