Not to say you’re being hypocritical, or that you can’t have changed in the last little bit, but surely you can appreciate that some people may be at the same place you were not long ago.
That's not a good parallel. Drever's past was unknown until she's got elected. My outrage at that time really was about people willing to vote for just about anyone wearing orange-green rather than for a real person that is going to represent them in Government. Would those who voted for Drever not voted for her if they knew about her still being a student, middle-fingering Canada flag and posing nude in a gross sex violence poster? I hope so, but I don't have too many illusions about it. Quite possibly, not.
