Justin Trudeau government term 2

[chrish8]

......That's what happens when crazy people are free to roam around downtown. Just ask the folks at Mount Pleasant and Eglinton how they are enjoying the new lunatic asylum the city foisted on them.

Please delete your reply SIR.

How dare you cross the line with such a valid comment to attack this issue.

let me guess you're also one of those hateful ppl that think if ppl are able to work they should work.

I have no pity for him.

Where have you been all this time

Bryant was completely vindicated. .

As I stated his 'guilt was alleged'. Charges were dropped as "there was no reasonable prospect of conviction". A more accurate description of what transpired (from Wikipedia):

On the evening of August 31, 2009, Bryant and his wife were driving home in his convertible after celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary. They passed a cyclist, Darcy Allan Sheppard, who according to an interview with Bryant was tossing garbage and holding up traffic by executing figure eights on his bike.^[26] As they neared a pedestrian crossing Sheppard pulled in front of Bryant's vehicle at a red light. Subsequent events were captured by security cameras.^[27]

According to Bryant, his vehicle stalled when he stopped behind Sheppard. Bryant's car then lurched forward from his attempts to restart the vehicle, which brought the car close to or in contact with Sheppard's tire. Camera footage of the incident was inconclusive. The Crown suggested no damage to the bicycle's rear wheel rim was evident. Witnesses said that Sheppard confronted Bryant and his wife "loudly and aggressively" while they "remained passive". Bryant's next driving maneuver resulted in Sheppard ending up on the hood of the car: the car travelled 30 feet in 2.5 seconds, at between 9 and 13.4 km/h, and brakes were applied after 1 second. According to Bryant, he was looking down at the time, trying to restart the vehicle, and applied the brakes when he saw Sheppard on the hood. The Crown suggested that there was no evidence Sheppard was seriously injured at this time and there was not enough evidence to justify a separate charge based upon Bryant's driving to this point.^[28]

The fatality occurred when Bryant drove away while Sheppard was holding onto the side of the vehicle. Witnesses reported that Sheppard reached into Bryant's convertible and grabbed either Bryant or the car's steering wheel.^[23][29] At no point did Bryant attempt to stop.^[24][30][31] The car then veered into the opposite lanes, which caused Sheppard to strike a roadside fire hydrant. The collision knocked him off the car and his head hit the pavement.^[26] Bryant drove away from the scene for 3 minutes before deciding to call 9-1-1.^[32] Sheppard later died of his injuries in hospital. The police did not thoroughly investigate whether Bryant was driving under the influence.^[33][34][35]


On May 25, 2010, prosecutor Richard Peck withdrew all charges against Bryant stemming from the incident, noting there was "no reasonable prospect of conviction".^[47] Peck said that "[Bryant] was attacked by a man who unfortunately was in a rage. [Bryant] was legally justified in his attempt to get away", and noted that Sheppard had run-ins with six other motorists in the same month before his encounter with Bryant,^[48] and was witnessed throwing traffic cones in front of cars at the corner of Bloor and Yonge less than twenty minutes before the incident.^[28]

As I stated his 'guilt was alleged'. Charges were dropped as "there was no reasonable prospect of conviction". A more accurate description of what transpired (from Wikipedia):

The charges were dropped because there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.

And why was that? Because.... he did nothing wrong?

I would never have included this incident in your list of public figures doing wrong.

You've got rather odd standards.....

[FreeDrop]

Umm is his not a violation of the human rights Code? Individual opinions on who cares because his intentions are good are irrelevant.

Is this a violation of the Human Rights Code?

The Code protects people from discrimination in specific situations. Under the Code, you have the right to be free from discrimination in five parts of society – called social areas – based on one or more grounds.

The five social areas are: employment, housing, services, unions and vocational associations and contracts.

Discrimination based on 17 different personal attributes – called grounds – is against the law under the Code. The grounds are: citizenship, race,

I would agree.....if he wasn't a political figure. bring out the torches.

Do you ever wonder why it is hard to get good people into politics?

Did his political opponents not use this against him?
Did he not resign?

In many political 'scandal's there are no convictions. Sometimes commissions/inquiries etc even find no wrongdoing on the part of the politician alleged to have been involved.

But it still remains part of the history of that government.

Yeah, but he was being attacked. With his wife beside him, in an open convertible. They were both very vulnerable. He may not have made the best choice in getting out of that situation but it wasn't a "scandal".

The opposition trying to manufacture it into one doesn't make it one. There was no wrongdoing per se.

I'm not sure of the correct word for a (n attempted) manufactured scandal, but I'm partial to "brouhaha".

It just doens't fit in with the rest of your list - those were actual intentional transgressions.

Grewal is a composite. He (allegedly) committed fraud. He has a gambling addiction.

Had the Bryant/Shepard incident happened this summer all hell would have broken loose.
BLM and Covid has taken the steam out the Canadian Indigenous issues grabbing any headlines for the moment.
I can assure you that next year they will bring their grievances back on front page if a Conservative Prime-minister is in office.
They have given up the on the forked tongue costume prince.

Hey how about this, not only did Trudeau lie to us about the severity of covid. He tried to use the military to silence any social media posts that criticized his government.
