I don't know. I don't have much, if any of a moral obligation against him paying for sex. But I do think that the people making the laws, judging the laws, and enforcing the laws should have a greater respect for those laws, and be held at a higher standard for following those laws. The fact that this was well out of his jurisdiction probably makes that stance less valid, as does the murkiness of whether this was illegal in Alberta or not.

I'd give him more respect though if he and/or his party had a track record of legalization of prostitution on their platform. Less respect if he has been running on some kind of family values type platform.
