Re: Dirks

Ok? Wrong? Unethical? Business as usual?

Tough grey area in my opinion. While it's obviously bad optics in the middle of the campaign, at the same time an MLA is suppose to champion the concerns of his constituents. I think where it crosses into the sketchy ethical levels is that Driks is just a candidate, but still wields power as the Minister of Education.

That being said, if you changed the context of the story and the Liberals, NDP or Wildrose were the sitting government with a high profile candidate in a tight race, i don't think a single one of those parties wouldn't have pulled the same move.
