They didn't go to the media, the media went to them based on rumors circulating. As to why not going to the police, that has been discussed in detail many times before.

Yes, details are not that clear but one I found is that the first accuser is 29 today, or 10 years younger than Brown.

I never said that, I said discrediting the main stream media is due to Donald Trump and that is 1000% true. Sexual assault is never acceptable, stop it with the weaponized rhetoric. Much of what we hear in the media on that subject recently has nothing to do with politics.

I didn't pay close attention to the leadership race, but yes Elliott seemed to have a lot of support and was even the front runner until close to the convention. I don't know much about her other than having been married to Jim Flaherty. I understand that Wynne appointed her to some role (in health care, possibly concerning patient rights or advocacy) so she might be committed to that at the moment. I have seen a lot of other names floated in the past 12 hours, and hers has not been prominent. Do you see a difference between illegal and unacceptable behavior? Yes, he deserves his day in court if they are false and defamatory comments but that is a different issue from criminal court. Maybe I misunderstood the first accusation. I thought the girl was in high school, but he was in his late 20's at the time. Not sure what her age was so it might or might not be an underage charge in addition.

Hitting men is also assault, the character flaw you expose is much deeper than just sexism.

With all your US based claims, are you trying to demonize blacks or call the US a sh*thole nation?

Unlike a lot of the other political targets of sexual assault allegations, there is not a lot in Patrick Brown's past that helps to support them. While he may have other things like his strong anti-choice history to overcome, that only describes his politics and not his character. While I did see one reference last night that there were some unsubstantiated rumors a few years ago, I have so far dismissed that because it was from limited sources. That being said,it sounds like there is some credibility to the allegations in that there are two different accusers and one of them has some supporting documentation and others she has told in the past. No, having that verified by CTV is obviously not enough to convict him of criminal charges, but it is enough to stand up and take notice. Despite the bull coming from Donald Trump and the right wing noisemakers about "fake MSM news", the reality is they do have a relatively good record of journalistic integrity. Innocent until proven guilty is very important in law when you are going to incarcerate a person, it does not apply to the rest of life. Yes the allegations should be investigated and if they are proven false then those making them should be held accountable. Concerning criminal charges, from the allegations I am not sure what could be leveled. There might be an underage charge with the first, but "high school" could also include 18 year old students so jumping to conclusions is premature. Additionally the way our laws are written, 16&17 might not result in any charges which is why I have always advocated for difference in age and not a single value. Certainly as described, the conduct is unacceptable, but is it criminal?

Not sure how you get that from 'some', that is called the qualifier and it was directed

Cool, in lieu of providing evidence you also turn to pejoratives.

Speaking of cartoons, showtime is launching "Our Cartoon President" on February 11th at 8pm. It is produced by Stephen Colbert, based on the cartoon Trump short segments he has had over the past couple of years (going back to the primaries). I think there are about 10-12 cartoons of a minute or two each, but I assume the show will be weekly 30 minute cartoons so it will be interesting if they can find enough material .... what am I saying, of course they can.

Since I haven't heard any conspiracy theories yet, I will start one. I wouldn't be surprised if Doug Ford paid these ladies to make accusations to provide an opening for him. b.t.w. Brown resigned an hour ago.

Just heard that Brown has resigned.

Yawn

I count 20 dates after 2000 alone, made by many people. Yes, Christians have been at this predicting the end of the world for a long time so having a lot of dates is not surprising. The point is that they have all failed to come true. I didn't bother to add future dates because of course I can't say they didn't come true yet, but here are some for your pleasure: You will note that some of them were made by people long dead. 2020 Jeane Dixon 2021 F. Kenton Beshore 2026 Messiah Foundation International 2060 Isaac Newton 2129 Said Nursî 2239 Talmud, Orthodox Judaism 2280 Rashad Khalifa Your pejoratives add so much maturity to the debate, perhaps you could debate Donald Trump on his own terms.

I thought Christine Elliott was the front runner for much of the time, up until shortly before the convention. I didn't pay a lot of attention to their leadership race, but I would expect her to be in a good position. Ford would be a losing proposition for the OPC. He might bring in some radical elements, but that is not what they need.

A large percentage of the people in the Americas (1 billion total) and New Zealand (5 million) and Australia (20 million) are European invaders. Lets say it is about 70% or 700,000 people. That would double the population of Europe.

I believe Japan was the recipient of a lot of western aid that built their modern infrastructure and economy. The outbreak of the Korean war was a huge boost to Japanese industry as well.

We have heard the story of the apocalypse before, the world was supposed to end the following dates, with those who predicted it.

My science textbooks also didn't have the equally remote possibility that Pinocchio was a real boy, we covered that in fictional literature.

Yes, I thought adult conversion was out for some in here

I have no idea about he veracity of these allegations, but it has seemed in the recent past that when something like this gets exposed we often have additional victims coming forward. It will be interesting in the coming weeks if any more allegations are made.

Hey, that's my word

Maybe Horwath will be able to sneak in.

Dixon White tells it like it is.

He is denying the allegations, hopefully we get some investigation into this. I am confused about the possible emails, did CTV actually view them or what?
