CALGARY – A Grade 10 student has organized a political demonstration on Sunday in the hopes that newly-elected NDP MLA Deborah Drever will resign or be recalled.
“My hope is the demonstration will, at the very least, make Deborah Drever realize the seriousness of being an MLA, but would ideally like to see her resign,” said Henry Wise Wood High School student Jesse Robitaille. “She simply does not have the maturity and forethought to be in government.”
Twenty-six-year-old Drever is a sociology student at Mount Royal University who lives with her grandmother, according to a campaign biography that has since been removed—along with her Facebook and Twitter profiles. Drever was elected in Calgary-Bow, beating out Progressive Conservative hopeful Byron Nelson.
Drever recently caused a stir on social media after appearing in a photo on an album cover for Calgary metal band Gatekrashor.

Deborah Drever appeared in this album cover and has since apologized for its “offensive” image.
