"If I was going to hire her tobabysitmy kids, I probably would have declined having seen these photos," said Calgary writer ShelleyYoungblut.

She was on our Unconventional Panel this week along withShane Byciuk andMike Morrison who reminded us that these photos were not taken that long go.

"They're not to be ignored. It's recent history," he said.

"It's created such an uproar because this is the first time in Alberta, maybe Canada, we've seen a young person a politicianunder 30 have the Facebook controversy come and haunt them," said Byciuk.

Youngblut does think we need to give Drever a chance to do the job she was voted in to do.But with parameters.

"I would like to see her on a very short leash. I don't want to see her in a position of authority. I don't think she's earned it. And it's not because of her age. It's just she's untested."
