What? The guy goes a decade posting anti-climate change propaganda on his facebook. Going so far as calling global warming a hoax. "In one post from Aug. 13, 2007, Kerr used his personal Facebook account to link to a blog post he said “exposes global warming for the hoax we’ve always known it to be."
If the guy calls global warming a hoax, he's a climate change denier. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Kerr’s Facebook page has a long history of posts denying the existence of climate change, or expressing skepticism about the phenomenon.
In April 2017, Kerr shared an anti-climate change article from the Daily Caller, another right-wing U.S. news site website.
In October of that year, he posted an article from Calgary-based climate change denial group Friends of Science. Its title was “Don’t Call Climate Change Skeptics ‘Deniers,’ Call Us ‘Correct.’”
Kerr posted an article forecasting a “mini ice age” on Jan. 2, 2018. It was published by Climate Change Dispatch, a site whose managing editor has also written articles for Breitbart.
On May 8, Kerr posted a graphic falsely claiming that “climate alarmists” exaggerate carbon dioxide’s affect on climate change by failing to account for water vapour and its warming effect on the atmosphere. The idea has been refuted by a U.S. government scientist speaking to the Scientific American.
That graphic is credited to Dixon Diaz, a blogger who has spread several hoax images.
Another article shared to the account on June 15, entitled “Swedish Researchers Confirm 20th Century Global Warming ‘Does Not Stand Out’ over Past 2500 Years!” is from No Tricks Zone, a climate skeptic blog whose posts have previously been debunked by Snopes and picked up by Breitbart.
When asked if he considered the blog a reliable source, Kerr said, “No, it’s just an ongoing source. Just another one of the many voices out there.”

Why are you going so far out of your way to defend a guy who doesn't really even deny it. He called global warming a hoax, we know where he stands.

It's the parties duty to vet candidates. They said that they had. This nominee not only made it through, but won the nomination. Of course he doesn't represent the party as a whole. But he does represent the party. If the UCP didn't want to make climate change denial a part of this election, they simply had to not have climate change deniers on the ballot.

*Saves time* *Literally posts about the NDP candidate I talked about in my last post* Cool.
