And yet another hopeful who opposed gay people, including saying they shouldn't be allowed to get married. All of this took place on their Facebook pages. Does none of that dissuade you from voting for those individuals? Or would you vote for each one simply because they are members of your political party?
Again, I won't comment or argue the accusations because I know nothing of them, but even assuming they're true, I'd still vote for a party with 1 or 10 bad apples if it means higher income and a more stable provincial economy for me and my family (and everyone else's obviously).

Sure one can deny science, one can be a bigot, but as long as they're not putting either of those into formal policies, who cares? I'm not going to pretend to be some virtue signaler, holier than thou type. I'd say getting more people employed and raising wages is way more important than if that one guy happens to be a ###### on his personal time on facebook.
