You see, we do have this little thing called freedom of speech. McIvor exercised it on the weekend, as is his right. But there can be social consequences to such exercising, and among them is the right of his detractors to argue that McIvor is unfit to serve as a representative of the people.

Except abusing government privilege and being involved in a conflict of interest are against the rules. They have rules that are outlined somewhere, or are alluded to in a general code of conduct that is agreed to when they are elected.
Unless I am misinformed, associating with idiots isn't on the list of things that you can't do.
