How young are you, anyway?  :)

I'm 34... so much too young to remember Trudeaumania.  Also, growing up in Alberta in the 1980s the word "Trudeau" inspired a completely different kind of "mania".

You can't ignore the fact Trudeau was hugely admired and for some reason I've never understood, thought of as extremely sexy and debonair by women of the time.

I love the man indeed!

The original goat herder lover who opened the floodgates and allowed my family to immigrate in 1982.

The fact that you’re shaking your fist at the sky over it 35 years later is just the icing on the cake.

So there's nothing wrong with 47 year old playboys **** 18 year old girls as long as he's pro immigration. About as thoughtful as most of what you post.

What happens between consenting adults isn't really my business.  Margaret Trudeau was hardly a victim in that relationship.

What can we do?  Men are **** and are genetically programmed to lust after young women to bear their children.  It's nature, and regardless of how much we disapprove, it's no big surprise when it happens.

Look at someone like Mick Jagger in his 70's still knocking up 20 year olds.  He's a rock start and will forever sleep with 20 year olds, fact of life. 

Trudeau was like a rock star in his own way and he had women swooning over him.  I can't blame him for hooking up with Margaret but the key point is that their relationship was consensual like Mick Jagger's.

You can't compare it to someone who can't take no for an answer and persistently shows unwanted attention.  Big difference.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I was raised by a single mom, but the huge respect I had for her existed equally alongside that lust for young women I developed when I got to that age. I had my fun but I never have had to look in the rear view mirror and cringe.

Do you think there’s something wrong with it?  Or only whe someone you don’t like for political reasons does it?

The fact that people like SirJohn still can’t grasp the idea of consent is why #metoo exists.

Right but what ABOUT age ?

Cyber brought it up.  I don't think it's an issue but it also doesn't fly with a lot of women.  It just does not, whether it's right or wrong.

OK so then we shouldn't assault babies but once they are able to walk it's fine.

And neither were the two women complaining about Patrick Brown years later. So why is Brown a creep but Trudeau a hero?

True. Patrick Brown took no for an answer. He's still ruined.

I like to point out the hypocrisy of people who will condemn a man as a sick creep but then worship another who did basically the same thing.
