What's it going to take for these Liberals to do the right thing here?

The longer they wait the worse it will get for the Liberals

 

Third Liberal candidate under fire after alleged sexist comments

Wynne is showing incredibly bad judgment in leadership here.

Not good enough.

 The first comment is really embarrassing and ignorant.

 The second is merely fitness advise, really minor stuff. Its not sexist.

 The third I don't fully under, but the macking comment is funny, who says macking like that now a days. 

 Do we honestly think we have a party of saints, the no one running for the NDP has said something stupid?

 I say this as a dipper, enough prettiness, its not like Wynn said this, just some minor candiates.

U,  you don't doesn't sound very progessive, and this is most unlike you to make a comment like this. 

You might choose to reflect a bit more on what you are saying here.

What a mess the Liberals are in by not quickly getting rid of these candidates. This is a serious issue that will not go away. Wynne needs to do the right thing here and lose these 3 candidates.

Kathleen Wynne, Ontario’s first female premier, forced to spend day defending Liberals who made sexist Facebook posts

A trio of what opposition parties are calling “sexist” social media posts by Liberal candidates forced Premier Kathleen Wynne to shift from touting her own policies to defending her party’s vetting process on Tuesday.

Questions about the posts — all of which were pointed out to the media by either the Tories or the NDP — dominated the Liberal leader’s media availability after she spoke to a business audience in Toronto.

Wynne, who only knew of two “inappropriate” posts, said she would do all she could to ensure her party put up candidates worthy of public office.

As interactions between people increasingly move from being verbal to being online, we'll see more incidents of innappropriate, wrong, and careless comments that previously would have been lost in the netherland of verbal interaction to being in the foreverland of written and online communication.  In the past when people had to pull out a pen and paper or a typewriter, they would be more careful of what was written, especially if it were to be published.  Previously people may have talked like pigs in the pub, but something written that required consideration and would last longer than a passing comment was taken more seriously.  So, now that writing (published works) and talking are being almost merged in modern media, how will and how should society's expectations of people shift?  I don't know if this will make people more careful, or if it will make people less critical of innappropriate writings and comments that appear online.
