And yes running for the Communist party of Canada in 1984 means everything you wish it didnt. Has she changed in 35 years? I would think probably so. Just like everyone does over time.
Hmmmm...seems to me there was an ad out about what someone in this election said 30 years ago and how it reflected they were still the same now, but again....double standards.

Brutal take.
I agree that views can change, people can change. However the issue with Kenney and his position in the 80's is different.
He caused people a lot of pain with his actions back then and continued to vote against LGBTQ rights well into the 2000's. That is unacceptable. As a young teen in the 90s I knew that way of thinking was backwards and wrong. He has no excuse for that in 2012. The fact that he still refuses to apologize for the things he did confirms he hasn't changed his position.
I'll let the 80's go, it was all different time and he was young, ignorant person. Problem is he became an old, ignorant person.
This goes both ways. How many on the right are saying it isn't possible the NDP have changed their position on pipelines.
