Slippery slope of social media scrutiny

Published: July 20, 2021, 2:27 p.m.

Social media has apparently scuttled the hopes of one candidate in the first few days of the Nova Scotia general election. And there are calls for another to be removed. But both are suggesting the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives had the information in question prior to them entering the race. What does this say about the attempts at attracting a new generation of candidates? (Note, a previous version of this article incorrectly stated the PC candidate had been removed. I regret the error.)
