Justin Trudeau denies molesting a woman at festival. Bet he thinks you should believe all OTHER accusers though, because only White Knights can be falsely accused.

I like this (back in Jan 2018):

Despite this statement of confidence in his own actions, Trudeau said he is subject to the same zero-tolerance policy he applies to everyone else.

“The standard applies to everyone,” he said. “There is no context in which someone doesn’t have responsibility for things they’ve done in the past

And then (still Jan 2018):

Trudeau elaborated on comments he made to the Liberal caucus Sunday, telling reporters that it is "essential" that women are believed when they come forward with allegations of harassment or assault

Lollll. And I am guessing this won't make him wake up and realize the damage that kind of thinking can do.

Ogg66 · 2018-06-08T23:06:50+00:00

Well it would not surprise me, it seems that a lot of these 'I am a feminist' men are being named. I don't trust male feminists, you can be all for equal rights and responsibilities but there is something to me a bit creepy about them.

Rise_Of_War7 · 2018-06-09T06:43:16+00:00

If you think about it, being a white knight makes sense. It allows a pervert to molest women, and when confronted, they can say, "No that woman is lying, I'm all for equal rights and support women whole heartedly"

MegaPorkachu · 2018-06-09T05:02:38+00:00

In a statement to Buzzfeed

Why even talk to Buzzfeed? They’re a nonsensical organization that is just plain stupid and as crazy as the anti-vaxx movement.

choihanam · 2018-06-09T08:01:06+00:00

I don't know if he has or not, but the men who put their support behind #metoo should fall the hardest to it. In a fair world, anyhow.

Bonobophone · 2018-06-08T22:43:52+00:00

I flaired this as humor....because I have not had a grin this wide for several years.

vonthe · 2018-06-08T23:45:21+00:00

If you can stomach Warren Kinsella (I usually can't) he wrote something interesting back in January.

Bear in mind that Kinsella is 1. a lawyer, 2. connected and 3. a gossipy asshole. But he was a big player in the Liberal party during the Chretien years, and he knows things and people. And he knows what he can say publicly and what he can't - and that extends to the comments he allows on his blog.

macgarthur · 2018-06-09T07:50:30+00:00

This is going to be radio silence from the feminists. I'm calling it now.

I mean, shit, half of them have named their vibrators Justin and taped pictures of his face to them.

da_ting_go · 2018-06-09T10:43:37+00:00

I swear people are jumping the gun on these kinds of issues. People shouldn't be automatically believed.

They should absolutely be heard though.

Lethn · 2018-06-08T23:14:41+00:00

So the tabloid has it now, let's see whether the other new journalists will even dare report on it, I suspect they'll prefer to keep silent and hope it goes away.

thrway_1000 · 2018-06-09T03:21:35+00:00

Feminist men and sexual assault go hand-in-hand. Funny how "listen and believe" disappears when it's one of their golden feminists.

Eh, he's one of those people who thinks he's better than everyone but hides it well.

I guess its somewhat expected from a prince of Canada....

narcissistic_walrus · 2018-06-09T04:15:06+00:00

He is a known womanised

toddmalm · 2018-06-09T14:13:15+00:00

Lol. It's so funny that he got accused of groping. It's the ultimate irony.

wanderingsalad · 2018-06-09T07:04:26+00:00

I didn't know Justin Trudeau was a lesbian.

mikesteane · 2018-06-09T04:46:09+00:00

Some of us were predicting this at the time he was elected.

vortex30 · 2018-06-09T13:45:21+00:00

It seems like no outlet in Canada is reporting on this. I have only seen mention of it on this sub.

Hifen · 2018-06-09T03:26:13+00:00

"Men are regularly falsely accused of sexual harrassement; we believe people are innocent until proven guilty; women try to get attention by making these allegations; men never get ..... oh? he's left wing -then lol I knew you couldn't trust him, i'm happy he's down a peg".

Apparently most of your ideals ends at party lines -these comments drip of hypocrisy.

heavym · 2018-06-09T13:58:50+00:00

oh come on. handling? what does that even me? if you are going to throw out accusations, don't be so doublespeak with your words.

macgarthur · 2018-06-09T15:10:49+00:00

So wait. They reported this back in 2000 when it happened and he even apologized for the act, admitting it. Now he's turning around and saying it never happened. Well which is it?

Also if you're going to apply a zero tolerance stance then it also needs to apply to you. This is so hypocritical. If this had happened to someone else Trudeau would be tossing them under the bus in an instant to show he's a feminist.

unbelievablepeople · 2018-06-09T15:47:47+00:00

I think the issue with Trudeau is that when anyone else is accused of something like this, he typically falls into the "Believe all women" camp. But when Trudeau himself is accused, he wants us to believe him and call the woman accusing him a liar.

My own feeling is, EVERYONE is entitled to the presumption of innocence. And at the same time I'm sympathetic to victims of sexual assault because I know how difficult that makes it for them: They accuse someone, and giving the accused the presumption of innocence necessarily requires treating their accusations with some skepticism. It's just a difficult situation, and I think the point we need to make is that Trudeau deserves the presumption of innocence, but we also hope that this case gives him greater respect for the presumption of innocence as applied to others.

Final note: I have deep and conflicted feelings about this because I was abused as a child, and because when I was a young adult I was falsely accused of a crime (not abuse, the crime I was accused of was theft). It bothers me that nothing ever happened to my abuser, and there's a part of me that wishes it were as simple as me telling my story and he'd go to jail. But I'm also glad that I had the presumption of innocence on my side when I was falsely accused.

“You have to understand”

2018-06-09T17:49:22+00:00

Interesting that the headline-link here claims denial but the story says he apologized... what for if it didn't happen?

falsehood · 2018-06-09T03:49:01+00:00

Any one person making an unprovable accusation (without other evidence) isn't news. The people we're hearing about right now all have multiple accusers who still aren't believed.

TheNakedMars · 2018-06-09T13:34:48+00:00

A denial coming from the same man who savagely attacked that female MP on the floor of parliament? Justin's misogynistic pattern of brutish behaviour is well-established.

mr_j_12 · 2018-06-09T15:40:45+00:00

F@#% the sun.

fyrie · 2018-06-09T01:44:02+00:00

This post wreaks of Alt-Right douchbaggery. Extreme left or right politics have no place in this sub.

daniellederek · 2018-06-09T10:58:08+00:00

At least it's been proven in court in canada that if your prepared to drop high 5 figures on lawyers you can do whatever you want. You can grab them by the pussy. You can choke spank and do pretty much anything in an ongoing sexual reationship. Just be sure to keep the electronic communications explicit and backup a copy to have on hand.

GreatBayTemple · 2018-06-09T12:48:15+00:00

Two decades ago, grabbing a titty two decades ago will come back to hunt you. Best of luck to you guys. Junior high is now on your permanent record.

The_Punniest · 2018-06-09T01:47:36+00:00

Trudeau is a total soy boy. He is getting cucked as we speak by Trump on trade deals.

Arcturus519 · 2018-06-09T03:54:52+00:00

The Russian bots made it to here even?

vortex30 · 2018-06-09T16:54:38+00:00

Just so everyone here knows, "The Sun" is essentially Canada's version of Breitbart, so there's that..It is essentially a right wing tabloid these days, not journalism.

algernonsflorist · 2018-06-09T09:55:20+00:00

Hey cool, this is the first time I ever noticed a russian troll account as soon as I saw the title of the post. 12 days old, all polarizing posts, nice work comrade.

Edit: I even got the downvote 5 seconds after posting, such an honor.

Jackoco1 · 2018-06-09T05:53:54+00:00

Lol this is completely different than dozens of women accusing men of rape, affairs while their wives are pregnant, etc... of course he and trump get in an argument and the alt right digs up a bunch of trash from 20 years ago.

dragontail · 2018-06-09T10:04:15+00:00

Quit being so transparently pro-Trump and people might take you seriously.
