And what would you go to the police with in the Kent Hehr case? I don't think being called "yummy" would ever be prosecuted yet it is something that is not acceptable for our MPs to do.
There is a big gap between it's acceptable for an elected official an criminal.

Yes.
I would imagine there are dozens of on going investigations for a variety of crimes/transgressions happening right now, and you nor I have any idea about who they are against or who has made the accusations. That much is obvious.
In the Hehr case, there are channels within the legislature (and within the parties themselves if applicable) that if chosen, would never see the light of day on public record. Now I understand that the Liberal party of Alberta may have dropped the ball here, and she felt this may be the only way to get attention shining on her allegations, but has it really been the proper way to do it? Does Hehr get to defend himself? Does she get to testify to a proper adjudicator? No.
