While this kid is a Liberal candidate, I honestly believe a similar exchange could have come from any inexperienced candidate from any party. I think it would be a mistake to dismiss this incident as merely something one particular party does. Even if all the evidence points that way.

Clearly, this was never intended to become public (side note: I'd love to hear how Kate Doust got hold of the texts) and was intended as a "gotcha" to a political opponent.
