The defect is that the welds weren't strong enough to hold the thing together when a bunch of guys with hammers had to beat it into the proper dimensions.

Postess with the Mostest posted:Warren Kinsella is super spiced about the kokanee grope I don't follow how this would be considered a criminal offence. The cbc news article quotes one of the people working at the paper where it was published: Bourne told CBC News that the reporter was interviewing Trudeau when he touched her. "It was a brief touch," said Bourne. "I would not classify it or qualify it as sexual assault." Which likely means it was something stupid like put his hand on her knee. Which we can all agree is not at all an okay thing to do, but I don't think it's against the law? This coupled with the fact that CBC found and contacted the writer of the editorial who has literally said they don't want to talk about it or ever be contacted about it again... Was Trudeau wrong to do whatever it was? Yup, definitely. Does he have a pattern of doing this? Probably not, at least from what we've seen. Has he done a good job of promoting women's issues in general? Seems to be. I'm not a Trudeau fan but this seems like a mountain out of a molehill.

The cbc news article quotes one of the people working at the paper where it was published: It's because Postmedia and the Cons desperately want to make this a thing, and they will just keep loving hammering at it until it resembles a thing, because apparently they have absolutely nothing else to go after Trudeau with. Probably on account of him being the most successful Conservative Prime Minister in 30 years.

My favourite detail is that they say these defects originated in a factory in Mexico so whatever bullshit make work excuse we might invoke about jobs doesn't even really apply, though I'm sure somesenior managers got big bonuses plying the right government officials with booze, hockey tickets and call girls.

The cbc news article quotes one of the people working at the paper where it was published: I honestly think at this point the real story is how bad Trudeau's comms strategy has been. Obviously no journalist can say that openly but I'm seeing papers across the spectrum (insofar as a country where the Toronto Star represents the limits of left liberal discourse even has a spectrum) and even internationally reporting this because i think journos who previously built the Prime Minister up are now annoyed by Truedeau and like to see him getting taken down a notch, especially in an area that is supposed to play to his strengths. The fact he has resorted to such an unconvincing and poorly used "I do not recall" line of defense probably just encourages journalists to pile on. And in fairness a guy like Truedeau who used zero tolerance policies within his own caucus as a way to build his feminist bona fide (all the better to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia with) deserves the extra scrutiny.

Ottawa Citizen journalist asks: did all police oversight in Ontario just get eliminated? Possibly unintentionally? https://twitter.com/davidreevely/status/1014550654038102016 https://twitter.com/davidreevely/status/1014550911014690816 https://twitter.com/davidreevely/status/1014551631394828288 https://twitter.com/davidreevely/status/1014552310201004033

Every time something like this is posted I laugh. To make sure people aren't taking advantage of the health care system we've repealed it in order to make sure the taxpaying people get their moneys worth.

They don't care about any of these policies, the only reason they're doing any of it is to make the implication that the Liberals couldn't POSSIBLY have done the diligence on them, only the Conservatives can be trusted to run the numbers (before running up a massive deficit because they don't actually care about any of those numbers).
