Alberta politician Sandra Jansen stunned her colleagues by repeating the hateful comments she has received as a female politician.

Her speech on Tuesday in the provincial legislature began with four shocking words: "What a traitorous bitch!"

Ms Jansen is calling on her colleagues to take a stand against sexism because "our daughters are watching".

She says she's received a litany of misogynistic comments since switching political parties last week.

"If you are stunned by the words you have heard in the last few days, if you reject the inherent violence behind them, and you know that harassment and abuse, even if it's verbal, even if it's online, and even if it's directed at a political opponent, is poison,'' she implored her colleagues.

''Let us be strong and clear in our resolve that no matter where we sit along political lines, we stand together against this.''

Ms Jansen says people online have told her to ''stay in the kitchen where she belongs'' and ''fly with the crows and get shot".

Ms Jansen was one of two women to drop out of the Progressive Conservative (PC) leadership race earlier this month. Both women say they quit because they were tired of being bullied by volunteers from another leadership candidate's campaign.

Ms Jansen's impassioned speech was her first statement as a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), which is currently the governing party in Alberta. She crossed the floor earlier this month after serving in the provincial legislature as a representative for the PC party.

Jason Kenney, who is a front-runner in the PC leadership race, says he has also been the victim of political bullying from opposing campaigns.
