UCP Livingstone-Macleod candidate Chelsae Petrovic issued an apology over the weekend for past “offensive” social media posts..“As someone who has used social media since I was a teenager, I have many old social media posts I'm not proud of,” Petrovic said on Facebook..“Often I used humour to deal with trauma or high-stress environments, and that includes using crude or inappropriate language. As someone who had no intention of ever seeking public life, there are some comments and posts that I now know I should have been more prudent about before engaging with.”.It is unclear what exactly the posts are..Petrovic said she “regrets” not researching some topics over the past fifteen years “more thoroughly” before commenting..“I want to apologize unreservedly for these actions and any hurt that I have caused. I pledge to the residents of Livingstone-Macleod that moving forward, I will communicate in a way that is respectful,” Petrovic said..“I’m thankful to my friends, family and supporters for assisting me in being less rough around the edges, and understanding that mistakes made on social media posts through the past 15 years do not define a person.”
