who are your claimed "insisters"?
Trudeau's spittle lickers and back peddlers. People like you and Jonathan Wilkinson who act as if Trudeau's promise was little more than some offhand comment that was taken out of context. Like you say voters are similarly misinformed by other parties and their partisans so it must be okay. You wouldn't have said that for any reason other than to defend the practice - two wrongs make it right is what you're saying isn't it?
