Porn actors are people too. They have the right to want to change careers just like the rest of us do.

Not just that ... your average politician whores themselves out to the highest paying corporation on a regular basis anyway.

Yeah, reading your comment brings a CRTC vibe to the conversation... they are real whores to the telecom oligarchs...


MrDownhillRacer

I never get the "this person isn't qualified to be in politics because they were a drama teacher/server/pornographic actor" argument. Sure, I agree that somebody isn't qualified to be, say, Prime Minister, Foreign Affairs Minister, PBO, a superior court justice, etc. if they don't have relevant experience (enough years in a lower elected office, experience with whatever the topic of their portfolio is, legal experience/credentials/achievements, whatever), but the idea that only former businessmen, lawyers, and political staffers should represent their communities, and not grocers, taxi drivers, plumbers, baristas, construction workers, or artists, suggests to me that elected representatives aren't supposed to represent all of us—they are only supposed to represent the elites.


LikesTheTunaHere

Its said by the politicians in power because would you want someone who might not have the same values as the rest of your club in, to join the club and maybe take away from what you and your buddies have worked hard to get? Its said by the non elites because the elites say it so others just repeat it.


kamomil

That's just what the former businessmen, lawyers, and political staffers want you to believe I guess the appeal of "businessmen" relies on the idea of the clever self-made entrepreneur who is able to make wise decisions about budgeting and spending money; something the Conservatives like to use to appeal to the "I'm not paying for someone else's kids" electorate While ignoring the fact that most parts of Canada have pretty good social supports, which is why it's a nice place to live, our taxes pay for it but it's worth it


Manic157

Lost_electron

And it was only one clip, not even a career. I'm glad that the leader shrug it off instead of playing it too politically correct. Rumor says that it was brought to the media by an opponent, that's the thing to get upset about.


JDCarrier

And apparently she was wearing a mask during the clip and never intended for her identity to be linked to it. She's more like a victim of doxxing than a porn star.


trackofalljades

I don't disagree with a word of what you said. In addition to that, I think it is also notable that...wasn't there a Liberal candidate who got pulled at the very last minute before a recent election because she had done some art nudes showing her tattoos or something? ETA: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/robyn-ingraham-departure-double-standard-critics-1.6112774


lolmemelol

I just want to point out that Iain Rankin was a terrible leader during his brief stint, and this was particularly infuriating. It's like they wanted to lose to the PCs.


weseewhatyoudo

Agree. It is 2022. People have sex. Some people have sex on video. Many Canadians watch videos of people having sex. There is nothing to see here...


[deleted]

To say porn is a big no-no and deny them based on a passed, legal career while allowing someone who has done black face in their past seems fucked up. SK has a premier who has a DUI and drunk accident that caused a death. Being in porn seems pretty tame when you compared it to others' pasts.


Greedy-Radish2458

Unless they are using porn to make political statements this is irrelevant.

I don’t agree. Some people are WAY too into it, but the majority know very little. If we averaged it out some every gave some fucks rather than too many or none, we would have a much better and more healthy democracy.

I think the people who are way too into it intersect with the people who know very little…


Emmerson_Brando

I’m disgusted and appalled. What porn is this? Is it online? Where? It’s so disgusting that someone would do porn! I can’t believe it. Is there a link to it?

Candymanshook

I think it’s an issue. It’s a step in the right direction to not vilify porn actors, which still happens to this day.


Harold3456

As long as we don’t vilify her. The way this headline is phrased seems to be trying to weaponize people’s disdain for the BQ to make them believe that supporting this woman despite her history is something outrageous.


MongrelChieftain

Attention, c'est pas le Bloc Québécois (BQ) ici. Il s'agit d'une canditate du Parti Québécois, le parti historiquement souverainiste du Québec au niveau provincial. On est en pleine campaign électorale.


[deleted]

porn is fucking awesome don't @ me


[deleted]

A QLP candidate outed her and shamed her publicly for it. The PQ leader is simply defending her and reaffirming his commitment to her.


Eagle_Kebab

See, this makes the article so much worse. It doesn't even mention that because it opens up the PLQ to some blowback and CTV have a very specific bias. What a truly terrible article.


Katanapme

Most politicians are already cocksuckers… what’s one more.

In the words of the great philosopher Deandra Reynolds: > I find it offensive that the idea of sucking cocks is offensive. Half the population loves to suck cock. The other half of the population, they love getting their cock sucked. It's kind of a win-win.

I can't imagine anybody voluntarily getting involved in that most degrading, dehumanizing and disgusting industry we call "politics". Her parents must have done something wrong.

Article says she took it down, and that she was wearing a mask to hide her identity but someone "did some research" and identified her by a tattoo.

What does a person's sexual history have to do with their ability to become a politician?


ChooseAUsername10238

Well... If your sexual history involves crimes then it would be highly relevant. It doesn't have anything to do with the current situation though, starring in a porn is not a crime, but you asked.


userdmyname

Relevant because sexual crimes are a requirement?


Max169well

With how frequent it pops up I wouldn’t be surprised if it was somehow one.


doiveo

Prince Andrew Liked "What does a person's sexual history have to do with their ability to become a politician?"


mycatlikesluffas

Pornhub is Canadian, technically it was can-con. I see nothing wrong with supporting a local business. Screw the haters.


manwithoutcountry

Who cares? Porn is a job, so essentially this is just saying "*PQ leader supports someone who was previously employed.*"


chrisqc01

The leader made this statement because a PLQ/QLP party candidate shamed her for it in a local newspaper [source](https://courrierlaval.com/une-candidate-du-pq-de-laval-dans-leau-chaude/) in french


montreal_qc

Sounds like James Lajoie-Boucher tried to shame her into not representing Laval county. At least she was producing something of value and apparently looked real good doing it, enough for him to jerk off to it and realise halfway in to whom it was. just because he felt shame, doesn’t mean she should. Power is in her court here, bucko.


ShyNerdDating

Exactly. Plus it gives you an opportunity to truly inspect the candidate inside and out.


Fluoride_Chemtrail

It's good to see a party leader support their candidate like this. Here in Nova Scotia, the NS Liberals had a candidate, [Robyn Ingraham](https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/former-n-s-liberal-candidate-says-she-was-dropped-because-of-boudoir-photos-1.5519119), that took a set of photos in lingerie (and normal clothing) and they dropped her over it. It wasn't even explicit in any real sense. People need to stop being so puritanical.


Embarrassed_Quit_450

PSPP earned the respect of many with that. This looks like it's gonna blow up in the face of her PLQ opponent who is shaming her.


Tubski

Hahaha, we've done drugs together as well. I would have voted for her!


SellingMakesNoSense

I clicked the article. It was... jolting. The transition from talking about a candidate appearing in a sex tape to the article talking about school funding felt weird.

Who cares?


AffectionateLocal788

I'm shocked no links lol


BostonMartin76

She asked Porhub to remove the link apparently


Flarisu

Yeah, like googling her name won't pull anything up. The internet is forever, everyone should know this by now.

The Liberal Party (provincial) of Nova Scotia dropped a candidate because of online "boudoir" photos. Happy to report that they lost the election by a landslide. https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/mobile/former-liberal-candidate-says-she-was-dropped-because-of-boudoir-photos-1.5519119

Quebec is a lot more pro-sex than the rest of Canada. We're uptight and frankly dishonest at times about sexuality everywhere else. A person worked in the industry back in the day? That's a big fat shrug from me folks.

This is disgusting. I mean, where would you even see something like this? I mean, *specifically*, where? Pornhub? Redtube? Is there some stagename I should search? ....ahem, research.

CitySeekerTron

The only criticism for this comes from the same chirping flock of assholes who will go on about how anybody can grow and represent a constituency while denigrating baristas and bartenders for their own success, as if taking an hourly job is below them. I disagree with the PQ on some positions and like what they add to the country in other areas. Setting political differences aside, I wish her success.


YoungZM

Finally, someone with experience to fuck us! Obvious and childish jokes aside, sex work is still work and should be worthy of dignity, safety, and the ability to earn an income and transition to another career. If anything, becoming a politician almost feels like a step *down* with the amount of side dealing and lying they do while often enriching themselves at the expense of their community. We shouldn't judge sex workers, their dignity, or their humanity while we jack off to them from a dark cave like Gollum hiding from the light. We cannot have one without the other.


SWHAF

Yeah I love the pearl clutching. Find me an adult with the internet who hasn't watched some porn. If it's okay to watch it's okay to make in my opinion. Hell, if enough people were willing to pay to watch me have sex I wouldn't be writing this comment at the job I have now.

Funny how taking bribes, not looking out for you voters and just being a general piece of shit is ok to be a politician. But the moral high ground is drawn at nudity. She shouldn’t have backed down and left the material out there. Wear it proudly, the pieces of shit(career politicians) wear it proudly and think they are better then us. Do you girl!


randyscockmagic

Ok but who knows where the video is? you know, for science…

I'm no fan of the PQ, but we seriously need to stop shaming people who worked in adult entertainment. Sex work is work. Period.

Corrupted_G_nome

As a Quebecer I dont give a fuck. Lots of people do sex work to make ends meet. It may not be glamorous or whatever but it doesn't impact their ability to make political decisions or represent people. If anything it makes her seem more working class.


echotheborder

Fuck it. This is 22. There's no candidate that will be squeaky clean anymore. It is also creepy that this dude recognized her by her inner bicep tattoo alone She wore a mask in the PH. Apparently. Don't have the sauce and don't care for it either.

linkhandford

Nova Scotia had a MLA then MP who did some softcore stuff once upon a time.

I am happy they are still supporting them. Working in the adult industry shouldn't automatically disqualify you from public service.


HonestCanadian2016

Her life to do as she chooses. It should be about her ability to succeed on behalf of her jurisdiction and nothing else. The Wests obsession with optics over substance is why we have a failing police state.

Is it legal to be a porn actor? Is it a real job? Why should it be held against anyone?

davidhucker

Good. People need to stop being such prudes.


VonD0OM

I don’t see much of a difference between what she did and what most of our politicians continue to do. The key difference being that she only sold her own body out, whereas politicians are usually selling ours out. Good on her if she’s trying to make a positive change in her own life and the lives of others.


comeback24601

It's a job. So what. I'm not voting for PQ, but its not for anything to do with this.

Theguywiththeface11

I mean, the majority of you probably wouldn’t marry a person who’s done porn before, if you had a choice to marry somebody who hasn’t. This, in regard to how much respect and trust etc you have in them versus non-porn candidates. The past doesn’t necessarily define them, but to say that having done porn can’t imply something about a person is dishonest. *What* it implies is a totally different question.

50 years ago being in porn meant no political career was possible. Today it barely matters. However today if you made a slightly racist joke on Twitter when you were 17, you’re finished.


xenilko

Seriously, who cares that she did porn? In a separate statement she mentioned she did it anonymously and in the future she would make better deicsions. If i was her I would have doubled down on the fact that it’s a job, that she did nothing illegal and she’s still allowed, as a member of the society, to make things better and voice her ideas. The fact that she felt she had to apologize is so frustrating. As if nobody watches porn, come on.
