There are at least four completely different questions at play here: Is there enough evidence against Trudeau stemming from his time at WPGA -

(1) to take to trial on a criminal charge of corrupting a minor? Obviously, no.

(2) to take to a professional disciplinary hearing for teachers? Obviously, yes; though whether you would get a "conviction" and if so what the penalty might be is anyone's guess.

(3) to trust your daughter with Trudeau in a private setting (when he was single, in his 20s, and not under the gaze of politics)? That, I suppose, is for every parent to judge. I wouldn't.

(4) to "disqualify" him as a candidate for political office? By Trudeau's own standards, obviously yes. He has disqualified candidates for far less than being excessively handsy with minors. This guy's character, as revealed by nearly everything he does, is so repulsive I have a hard time understanding why anyone votes for him still.

Wondering, is it wrong for me to enjoy Poilievre's jabs at this PM? I also quite enjoyed his answer to the questions, for it is "just a fact". And facts seem to matter little anymore in this political climate.
