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.

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."
