I was talking to a Canadian colleague of mine who doesn’t care for Justin much (she’s very hard left) and even she thinks this story is bullshit because of the dates. I hadn’t even heard of the date discrepancy though, as our US media hasn’t really brought it up.
Ok, I read the article and while this may be super lenient given he wasn’t a public figure in any way other by proxy (due to his father having been PM 30 years or so prior to the event) and given both his explanation and the comments of the reporter as well as the venue it really comes off like he was at a festival,…
Someone needs to clear up the date discrepancies. According to an article on The National Post, the alleged incident happened on Aug 3, Trudeau’s apology was issued Aug 4, the dates of the festival were Aug 5-6. According to the festival’s PR manager, Tanya Olivia, Trudeau arrived on Aug 5.
You know what? Fuck this shit.
My first reaction to that was that she was interviewing him at a music festival, and he thought she was talking to him because she was interested, but I’m pretty clueless
What bothers me about this story is that the original article says it happened on a specific date, that was two days before he actually arrived in town, and who dug this up after all these years when the actual reporter wants nothing to do with it now? This has Hamish Marshall’s grimy prints all over it. It’s all…
Exactly. Fuck her and her couture palazzo track pants right to hell. As for the #SaveMelania folks, save it. There are no hidden depths. She is both devoid of all humanity and painfully dumb. She deserves no consideration, no good will and no benefit of the doubt ever again.
I feel the need to repeat what I said to a bawling coworker who fucked up bad but swore she was the victim:
He’s like Mark Zuckerberg. They try so hard to prove to everyone how little they claim to not care.
He’s always sounded like that. It’s just that now people have caught on to his act. Depp used to fancy himself as a true artiste. Then it came out that he blew his money on yachts, wine and dumb shit like every other spoiled, indulgent Hollywood Star.
“The Pirates of the Caribbean star said he decided to start writing a memoir on an old typewriter to cope with his post-divorce depression as he toured with his band, Hollywood Vampires.
The invitation came from the PM (who is miraculously still Theresa May) so there is no requirement for him to meet the Queen. I suspect a bit of ‘I WANT TO MEET THE QUEEN!’ wailing down the line from DC and a bit of sheer trade deal desperation from the Tories conspired to force a small woman in her 90s to meet this…
I’m more on board the idea of 500 Days of General Strike, but whatever works I guess.
Can we have a 500 Days of “Eat Shit, Ivanka” along the lines of Gawker’s 500 Days of feckless whatshername?
