Gee.

I wonder why it took so long for Loc to post this one.

Conservatives are so politically correct these days...

CALGARY — A Liberal candidate has apologized unreservedly for posting offensive tweets several years ago.

Ala Buzreba, who is running for the Liberals in Calgary Nosehill, blames youthful ignorance for her social media faux pas.

Buzreba issued her apology after some tweets she posted as a teenager four years ago began circulating on Twitter, apparently dug up by Conservative supporters.

The 21-year-old is running against Conservative cabinet minister Michelle Rempel

Buzreba says the comments do not reflect her thinking.

She also says she has learned a lot of lessons about social media since she posted the vitriolic comments.

In one, she tells a strident defender of Israel: "Your mother should have used that coat hanger."

In another, she tells a tweeter she deems a racist to "go blow your brains out you waste of sperm."

And in yet another, she reports that she just got her hair cut and looks "like a flipping lesbian."

Buzreba said the tweets "reflect a much younger person."

"I apologize without reservation for the comments I made a long time ago, as a teenager, but that is no excuse," she tweeted Tuesday.

"They do not reflect my views, who I am as a person, or my deep respect for all communities in our country."

Some guy took a strip out of the media at a Harper event. "Fantasy scandals".

http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/politics/canada-election-2015-harper-duffy-questions-1.3194754

After the event, one man expressed his frustrations to a group of reporters, calling one journalist a "lying piece of ****."

It's funny how one piece of trivial sh*t can get so many people's knickers in a knot & Harper is just loving it. He's not getting questioned about any of the important issues..................economy, climate change, Oil, senate reform! Everyone is obsessed with "knowing" who "knew" what!! Does overhearing gossip constitute "knowing"? Idiots!!

Got a phone call from the Dippers' automatic phone calling doodad. It talked with our phone answering doodad for quite a while. Our phone answering doodad didn't think we wanted to hear it all so the phone number was partially unintelligible. hehe We have a smart phone answering doodad; it was right.
