Also Press Progress isn't working hand in hand with Jason Kenney's campaign team so they aren't out there looking for uncouth tweets from NDP candidates, if there even are any after they probably sanitized their histories wherever possible well in advance of this campaign.

It almost an impossible standard to live up to that nothing anyone has ever said on any platform ever crosses whatever the current lines are and whatever future lines may be drawn. Oftentimes for conservatives the 'lines' are drawn by their very opponents in an election campaign. Honestly It was only the last few years that figures such as Barak Obama, Hilary Clinton, and others on the left came out in support of gay marriage.

Here's Sandra Jansen, Former NDP cabinet minister tying herself in knots for being one of the PC cabinet ministers behind the original introduction of Bill 10, when it was no longer politically expedient for her after the election loss in 2015.

Right. So you're going with the UCP wouldn't do this sort of digging, and the NDP are better at covering their tracks?

Have you ever worked on a campaign? I can tell you with 100% certainty that all parties do this kind of digging.

Also, sure I'll give you the LGBTQ issue has changed rapidly in the last decade. I myself have changed my views on it, and I'm willing to own up to that truth. However my actions currently make it pretty clear where I stand, and I'm most certainly not going to have to censor any posts I've made recently in that regard.

That being said, can you tell me how the views on white nationalism have changed recently?
I thought that one was put to bed pretty handily about 70 years ago, but I could be wrong? Did I miss something? Was it okay to make those remarks okay in 2017 when Caylan Ford made them? If so, I'll concede the point.
