Hehr only had to voluntarily resign from cabinet after some allegations of being handsy that was apparently a well known secret in Alberta politics.

I've known Kent for years and I believe his explanation of these events. The initial complaint was that he called someone "yummy" in an elevator. Kent says he wouldn't ever do that and hasn't called anyone "yummy" ever. I believe that because I know him and in part because I wonder why anyone would say that to anyone. It just makes no sense.
But let's say that you don't believe him, and he did actually say that. That's it? Like, the guy should lose his cabinet post (at the time) and be entirely unelectable based on that? I have a hard time with that. This was in the height of the #metoo era, and if this were a case like Harvey Weinstein or something like that, I'm 100% on board with full prosecution. But to take someone down with that kind of allegation seems to be a different case.
