Oh come on FFS just when we had Wynne on the ropes this guys young attempts at romance come to light as sexual misconduct!!! Obviously it’s a he said she said but she said rules and is more popular at this time so basically he is done for.

Maybe more details will come out later, but this puts getting rid of the Liberal gravy train on the back foot now that’s for sure.

I'm curious. Having come from the UK where the two main parties for many years used to be quite different and even now they are closer some key differences still exist, do you really believe that the Liberals and Conservatives in Canada are so different to each other that anyone could be so passionately for one and against the other?

Yes

I wandered into the thread wondering who Patrick Brown might be, perhaps a new Doctor Who. I suppose this is the first and last time I'll hear of him.

This. In Newfoundland there is sod all difference in policy and mindset (or indeed vision & competence) between Liberals and PC's. Who you choose, and how frothy at the mouth you get over the opposition comes down to tribalism.

Really ? Wow

If the allegations have substance then he is the author of his own misfortune.
Having said that, I do have concerns that in this 'allegation' strewn environment, it is a very effective way of discrediting any individual without benefit of due process. It would appear individuals concerned, in the court of public opinion are deemed guilty, no smoke without fire etc, until (if ever) deemed innocent?

Whichever party takes over from the other at elections, they seemingly both give their campaign manager the CEO position at NB Power or NB Liquor.

When I first moved to NB the Ls were in favour of Ambulance fees and the PCs against. I thought, hang on, this should be the other way around. Then the Ls wanted to sell off NB Power to Quebec Hydro. It all seemed so backwards.

For most of my time here, one's just a slightly watered down version of the other with both 'guilty' of the same hypocrisies.

Yes. We have provincial elections this year (more important than Federal ones). The Cons and NDP don't operate, so they are not relevant. The provincial Libs won last time, with the PQ getting slaughtered because of it's own stupidity. People are going off both. I can see the current number 3 (CAQ) romping home.

It begs the question?

How does a single guy meet a female in this day and age, and if you don’t drink how hard is that. I would not want to be successful single male now days looking for female company that’s for sure.

Don't they all Tinder and show up with their NDA's?

magnumpi

Ha ha I just said same on a Facebook site

BristolUK

I read that as DNAs at first. But I expect that will come.

Did you know that Tinder was preceded by a dating agency for old comedians? It was called Trinder.

Did u know:

Reports of online dating-related rape have risen by more than 450 percent in six years, the UK's National Crime Agency announced on Sunday, warning that the surge in online dating had given rise to a "new kind of sexual offender."

Based on this thread I suppose he was a conservative politician in Ontario. I'm not much interested in Ontario politics and I don't seek out local news but I have to wonder about the campaign behind him. I'm an Ontario taxpayer, I could vote, it might have been a good idea to bring him to my attention somehow. I'd truly never heard of him.
