Top Canadian political aide loses job over "moron" remark
<article
This person is unknown to 99.999 percent of Canadians. She did not choose to be a public figure, nor did she have ambitions to be a public figure. I think it sucks that her remark became a worldwide headline and she had to quit. This might even constitute criminal harassment that the journalist who first published should be prosecuted for. There should be standards for the use of quotations in the news so that free speech can be protected, but not used to humiliate people and cost them their livlihoods.
