ya, that's where the sadSackMedia significantly shifted the focus away from the indigenous; away from reconciliation! The day before and the evening before, PM Trudeau attended related events... and the day of was on the phone with an assortment of indigenous persons/leaders. And in that day for so-called quiet introspection, we had a Global News azzhole chasing down PM Trudeau in Tofino - followed up with a full-on media onslaught that took over what should have been a day for the indigenous and a day for the non-indigenous to give thoughtful consideration towards the meaning of reconciliation... notwithstanding the BCchequeLady's want to get her partisan licks in!
While you'd have us believe the problem is the media, the truth is that the real problem is that yer boy couldn't wait ONE FUCKEN DAY longer to get to the beach. The media's job isn't to keep Justin's secrets. The media's job is to report on him. This is his fault and his alone. Why did he do this? Even the Justin's kids probably knew how bad this would look. Why didn't he?
Why wasn't it an option to go to Kamloops to attend the ceremonies on THURSDAY and going to Tofino on FRIDAY?
Why did the Prime Minister's published agenda lie about his plans and whereabouts for Thursday?
And, is the Prime Minister so stupid that he didn't realize how bad the optics of renting an $18 million mansion for a surf vacation on Truth And Reconciliation Day would be? Or does he just not care?
on that day, perhaps the BCchequeLady can relate how she personally examined her own thoughts & emotions concerning reconciliation! LOL!
I have to point out that unlike your hero, BC_Cheque didn't campaign for election as "the reconciliation guy".
And I have to point out that unlike your hero, BC_Cheque doesn't have a duty to represent our nation at important events.
Maybe if BC_Cheque had a responsibility to represent our nation in these matters your question would have some relevance. Instead you should ask that question of the guy who DOES have that responsibility, namely your hero.
I see, it wasn't Singh or O'Toole's fault, it was the MEDIA's fault for reporting that Trudeau turned down TWO invites to go to Kamloops on the first T&R Day and went to Tofino instead.
Yes. Obviously, the Prime Minister's inability to act like an adult wouldn't be an issue if the media would just stop reporting on it.
And, nothing short of full-on Rosemary Bartonesque fawning meets the waldo's threshold for fair media coverage of the golden one.
