An animated video poking fun at the Wheat Board has landed a Conservative MP in hot water.

In the video, one character says to another, “slow down young man, you are talking Eskimo.”

The video was posted on the website of Conservative MP David Anderson.

Canada’s national Inuit organization condemned the video saying that the comment was offensive to Inuit.

Anderson’s office removed the video and apologized.
