Conservative candidate Jerry Bance caught in CBC sting urinating in homeowner's coffee mug

Cross posted from GD http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027146500#post7

Conservative candidate Jerry Bance was caught on CBC-TV's Marketplace in 2012 urinating in a homeowner's coffee mug and dumping the contents into the sink.

Bance, the Conservative candidate for the battleground Toronto riding of Scarborough Rouge Park, has been a service technician for the last 25 years. He owns and operates XPress Appliance Service, an appliance repair company in the Greater Toronto Area. In 2012, Bance responded to a service call at a house where Marketplace had hidden cameras set up as part of an investigation into the skills and ethics of home repair service companies.

The cameras caught Bance urinating in a coffee mug and then dumping the contents into the kitchen sink while the homeowner was in the next room.

"I deeply regret my actions on that day. I take great pride in my work and the footage from that day does not reflect who I am as a professional or a person," Bance said when contacted by CBC News for comment.

He poured it into the sink, not down the drain. At least he rinsed the sink and cup when he was done, but it was kind of a quick rinse. Conservatives are efficient I guess.

with service people? I heard a story the other day about a couple service people who were scared to ask about the bathroom because the homeowner was an intimidating type who even made them take off their shoes when they walked in the door.

So the service tech used the kitty litter box.

Just fucking ASK to use the washroom ffs. And if you really have to go and no one is around, just GO USE the bathroom. I'm sure 99% of people will be understanding.
