Niagara Catholic school board trustee compares Pride flag to Nazi flag, video shows

A Niagara Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) trustee is facing criticism after a video surfaced appearing to show her compare the Pride flag to the Nazi flag.

A video posted to YouTube a week ago by Peter Taras, a former Ontario candidate for the People's Party of Canada, shows the trustee — Natalia Benoit — say she didn't want the school board to fly the Pride flag.

"Well, any flag at all... Like the Nazi flag, we don't want that up either, right?" Benoit says in the video.
