Re: Is Justin Trudeau a fraud?
When Walter Assef was mayor of Thunder Bay he patted the queen there too, by way of encouragement to help her get up some steps onto the dais. Her protocol people popped their clogs but nothing happened to him; not sure what her reaction was.

Re: Is Justin Trudeau a fraud?
Sigh.
Not once has it been reported that she was groped - not by her and not by anyone who she was working with at the time. Why perpetuate that as fact?
So I'm presuming he reached out to give the woman a hug or a brief touch on the arm and inadvertently grazed her side boob with the back or front of his hand or similar.. I've done the same damn thing myself before - totally by accident......... and of course I apologised for it - who wouldn't!
For all we know he could have gone to kiss her on the cheek and smooched her mouth by accident - or thought she was a pretty girl and asked her for a beer and did a little flirting, not realising she was working and not just another young person at a music festival! "If I'd known you were a reporter I wouldn't have been so forward" -- Means WHAT?? Nothing!!
Nobody knows but the press are having a field day of painting him in a bad light, not because he necessarily actually did something, but because they dislike him or want him out of power. Smoke and mirrors anyone?
I think it's most likely been completely blown up out of all proportion - a storm in a C cup, you could say.
As was reported at the time..
Bourne said it was a “brief touch” and “I would not classify it or qualify it as sexual assault.” Brian Bell, who was the editor of the Creston Valley Advance at the time, said he didn’t recall Knight being traumatized or distraught
If he hadn't been who he is would it ever have come to light? Most likely not!
Hardly in the same category as other incidences reported about other well known people!

He isn't guilty of anything unless the so-called 'victim' comes forward and makes an official complaint.

Re: Is Justin Trudeau a fraud?
With the rather important difference that "he would say that" about his own actions/behaviour as opposed to the statement of someone who wasn't Trudeau describing Trueau's behaviour.
You being a legal expert and all, I'd have expected you to see that.

Re: Is Justin Trudeau a fraud?
i thought his comment was "you're yummy" while in a lift with someone. That and several other incidents.
You're normally so insistent that people wait to hear the while atory before commenting and yet here you are making comparisons when we don't compleye know what to compare with
We do know that Kent's comments and touching took place at work. That there was more than one. That there were other inappropriate comments of a non sexual nature to veterans
We do know that Trudeau wasnt at work, wasn't a politician. There haven't been any other complaints, indeed any complaints about whatever happened.
This is why there should be an enquiry but there can't be one as the woman considers it over.
them again even if there were an investigation it wouldn't change people's minds.

Re: Is Justin Trudeau a fraud?
Justin Trudeau answers the question "what if George W Bush had been a Democrat?" That's who Trudeau is. A left-wing George W Bush.
He's better off taking a page from the Clinton book, admitting it, charging it up to youthful indiscretion and moving on, then keeping on with this non-denial denial PR non-sense that's just going to paint him as (an even bigger) hypocrite.
The apple does sometimes fall far from the tree, at least his dad was a great Prime Minister.
