Ms Zann wishes the photo had remained hidden from the people of Truro-Bible Hill. The NDP is afraid that the community is indeed as narrow-minded as it’s “perceived”.

a commenter on CBC’s web page says it best—

“I’ve done a little research and have come to the conclusion that it must have been an attempt to play to the perceived narrow mindedness of “a community where the mayor had refused to fly a gay pride flag.” By associating her with the “lesbian” aspect of the topless performance, and not the topless performance itself, because there are lots of images of her in a heterosexual environment that are more graphic.

Franky, it only proves to me that she is committed to doing her very best, when she sets her mind to a task. A refreshing attribute to any political aspiration. Obviously she has nothing to hide, which is more than I can say for Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil … “But I made it very clear — and very clear — that this will not be tolerated by me as leader of this party,” however … the volunteer who sent out the photo will continue on with the campaign. Now that’s as clear as any politician can be on this matter.”

Kind of reminds me of some previous NDP candidates. Not everyone has a life that can bear scrutiny such as a politician has to put up with.

Its not a bad thing that the public gets an idea what political hacks will do out of love of the (Liberal) ‘party’.

I’m kind of torn between gut bursting laughter at the ridiculousness of it, and sympathy for her, in light of her public ‘exposure’.
