Gilles Guibord no longer Conservative candidate after internet comments surface

Lookks like it's not just the Liberals

While that was not very politically correct, it was hardly on the same level as imploring people to kill themselves.

Also, I still don't understand how these politicians fail to understand the concept that EVERYTHING you said has been recorded by someone, usually a someone who will release it when it will cause you the most damage.

He seems to be a lot older than the teen ager's tweets he is being compared to.

I'm more amazed that the parties themselves aren't doing intensive background checks of some of these clowns before they sign the nomination papers. Good to be rid of this one though. These Quebec supremacists (e.g. this new clown, others like Lucien Bouchard) that joined the Tories have been nothing but trouble for the last thirty years.

The problem is only going to get worse when we have the majority of candidates who have been raised on social media since childhood and can't understand that everything on the net is fucking permanent.

I predict a time when every party will be hard pressed to field more than a handful of candidates with a clean background.

Every speech that they do will have to open with an apology first.

Just one of many reasons I couldn't/wouldn't be a politician!

I wouldn't have minded being a politician. The pay is great and you don't even have to genuinely believe in anything. Being a reliable seat-filler is one of the hallmarks of a successful democracy.
