With Joe Cressy lurking behind her and her University-Rosedale candidate Jessica Bell beside her at the Bathurst subway station, NDP leader Andrea Horwath tap danced around yet another hard question Thursday morning.

This one was whether some of her candidates — including Bell — had removed (or sanitized) their Facebook pages (and I would add their Twitter feeds.)

Horwath claimed she wasn’t responsible for that “piece of work” — that it was their provincial secretary who vetted the candidates and “all of those pieces.”

When the question was directed to Bell, she said that when she decided to run her entire Facebook and Twitter account was “carefully reviewed (a year ago) to sure that there’s nothing untoward.”

She said deleted her personal Facebook page so that people could find her actual politician page as opposed to pix of her kids.

What a pile of B.S.

For one thing, the Internet has an all-too-good memory as I proved earlier this week with the anti-Israel rantings on Twitter and elsewhere of four other NDP candidates: Rima Berns-McGown, Joel Harden, Jan Johnstone and Diane Ballantyne.
