paapiman Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 This is pretty disappointing to hear for Canadians. Quote There have long been obstacles in the path of women seeking to succeed in politics — and some female MPs are now coming forward to share their own experiences with sexually inappropriate behaviour, both on and off Parliament Hill.

paapiman Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Another disappointing news. Now, Patrick Brown (former opposition Leader) is in trouble. Quote In interviews, the women allege inappropriate behavior by the rising political figure throughout his tenure as an elected official. One was still in high school when she says Brown, a well-known Barrie politician, asked her to perform oral sex on him.

Quote The father of a 24-year-old woman who worked for Calgary Liberal MP Darshan Kang said Kang offered a series of payments to prevent her from sharing harassment allegations with her parents.

paapiman Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Latest news on the above case (Pertaining to Darshan Kang). Quote A one-time Alberta Liberal staffer who says she was groped and sexually harassed by a former legislature member who is now a federal MP says party leader David Khan's promise to investigate was an empty one made for political gain.

sarabatam Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I find quote from jagmeet singh pretty troubling on this He said- Presumption of innocence is for the courts to decide justifying firing of politicians over unproven allegations and justifying public pressure based on allegations. IMHO, if someone is accusing politicians of sexual misconduct. I believe they should be taken seriously without any question and as such those politicians should be given leave of absence and let them have day in the court. I don't think they should be fired as if those allegations deemed to be untrue and their whole political career is gone in dust over unfounded allegations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paapiman Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 5 hours ago, sarabatam said: I believe they should be taken seriously without any question and as such those politicians should be given leave of absence and let them have day in the court. That's right. In the mean time, deputies or interim leaders can handle their duties. 6 hours ago, sarabatam said: I don't think they should be fired as if those allegations deemed to be untrue and their whole political career is gone in dust over unfounded allegations. Also, if the allegations are deemed to be false, then the crook accusers must be punished severely, so that people think many times before making false accusations.

paapiman Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 There is an allegation (groping) against our Prime minister too. Quote "I've been reflecting very carefully on what I remember from that incident almost 20 years ago and again, I am ... I feel I am confident that I did not act inappropriately."
