When you're both, all your actions and behaviours flow from those two traits. That's what we have in our Boy/King prime minister. That's why he does the things he does and that's why he refuses to take responsibility for groping and grabbing a female reporter in Cranston, B.C., in 2000. "I didn't know you were a reporter," he apparently said at the time. What difference would that have made?!
After ruining the careers, marriages and lives of two Liberal MPs, accused a few years ago by anonymous female NDPers of sexual assault, all he says is that he doesn't remember anything negative about the encounter. Well, of course he doesn't; all he remembers is how nice her ass felt. And just for the record, both the women who trashed and destroyed those two Liberal MPs said the sex was consensual. Whaaaaaat??!!?? How can it have been assault if you consented??!!??
(A little aside: Can't think of one NDP female MP with whom I'd even bother.)
Also, just for the record, when I worked for ministers on The Hill, being sexually harassed was a virtual part of the job description. Why do you think men run for Parliament? They run because of power and influence and that includes easy access to young, attractive staffers, of which back-in-the-day I was one. But I loved the job because it was fun. You worked hard, but you had many perks -- like trips in private planes, lavish parties, expense accounts and a high profile.
Too bad no one's having any fun anymore. But in this "#metoo" era, Trudeau needs to adhere to his own "zero tolerance" commitment, come clean and apologize because times have changed. Hypocrisy is not working. The "good old days" are gone and as long as he continues to stonewall, this won't go away. And neither will the swing set.

I forgot what I was going to say and I'm in parking lot right now, so consider this a test!
