#CANADA: Alberta Legislator Suspended From New Democratic Party For Social Media Photos

[world politics news]


Deborah Drever, an NDP member of Alberta's Legislative Assembly, has been suspended from the party and will sit as an independent after a series of controversial posts to her social media sites. One showed a friend giving the middle finger to the Canadian flag, another featured homophobic statements below politicians' photos.

Pictured: A middle finger in front of a Canadian flag, one of the photos on Deborah Drever's facebook page that drew criticism. Drever said "that's not my finger on the flag. I have a lot of friends, whose pictures are on my site, and they don’t necessarily all share the same values that I do.”
