Experienced it differently at the Trudeau Foundation

Post by Gone_Fishin »

It's beyond disgusting how the Trudeaus and their chosen comrades treat women.

Using donor and taxpayers' money, the Trudeau Foundation is trying to bankrupt this sexual assault victim into dropping the charges.

Trudeau Foundation accused of delaying sex harassment lawsuit, insisting it be heard in Quebec

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has twice sought a change of venue for a trial into allegations by a former foundation scholar who says she was sexually harassed by her assigned mentor, pressured to keep it quiet and left unsupported and unbelieved.

A year after Cherry Smiley’s lawsuit was first filed, the Trudeau Foundation has not yet filed a statement of defence but has twice filed motions that the suit be dismissed or denied jurisdiction so it can be heard before a judge in Quebec.

“In my years of litigation, I’ve never had a defendant try so hard to have the action heard in a specific province,” said Smiley’s lawyer, Kathryn Marshall, a partner at Levitt Sheikh LLP in Toronto.

One thing Smiley and Kakfwi agree on, however, is the foundation didn’t adequately investigate the allegations but were keen on them signing confidentiality agreements that would silence them on the matter.

Marshall, Smiley’s lawyer, said the foundation seems to be trying to delay a hearing rather than answering the allegations in court.

“It would be very prejudicial to my client to be heard in Quebec. She is not a fluent French speaker, and neither am I, and the only connection of the case to Quebec is the foundation is headquartered there, but it’s a national foundation and the parties all live in different parts of the country.”

She suggested the foundation might be trying to drain Smiley’s resources.

“They’ve got limitless resources. They can hire lawyers in any part of the country, which they’ve done, and they got all of this taxpayer money to use. It’s like they’re just used to getting their own way,” Marshall said.

And what's on Amazon's best seller list these days? Hmmm....
FIRST READING: The Trudeau parody topping Amazon's bestseller list

The number one book on Amazon Canada right now is a parody children’s book slamming Justin Trudeau’s response to Freedom Convoy.

How the Prime Minister stole Freedom – modelled loosely on the Dr. Seuss classic How the Grinch stole Christmas – follows the trials of a Trudeau-esque leader who is tortured by freedom-loving truckers invading his capital city.

The titular “prime minister” is depicted as a dim politician (“his brain was three sizes too small”) who schemes to seize the freedoms of the Canadian citizenry in a manner similar to the Grinch scheming to steal Christmas from Whoville. In true Seussian style, it’s written in anapestic tetrameter.

“From coast to coast the truckers drove through the snow and their small fringe numbers continued to grow. Then one day a trucker appeared in the town, with thousands behind them from miles around,” reads a passage describing the arrival of Freedom Convoy.

It’s written by Derek Smith, a Calgary-based full-time father of three previously best known to the internet as a vintage video game streamer.

As of Tuesday afternoon, How the Prime Minister stole Freedom was the number one top-selling book on Amazon Canada.

Newsflash, generally speaking wherever you find men and women you will find women being harassed by those men. That's why I always say ALL abusers should be dealt with, and not just ones I agree with politically. You guys should try it sometime.

I'll also add most, if not all, women know someone who's been abused but I don't know very few men who claim to know male abusers. What could that be? The math does not add up.

One would think that if the Trudeau Foundation was innocent of the charges, they would simply do the right thing and proceed with disproving the charges in court, in English.

This abuse of power to silence accusers is a growing problem in Canada, and I hope she gets her day in court, in English.

Nice deflection from the story.

You could have responded like this, "the woman experienced it differently". And it would have been more credible.

I'll speak for myself. Spinning abuse stories like they're a reflection of a political party is gross. It can and does happen everywhere. In every setting. All political parties. All economic classes. Everywhere. It's not a deflection, it IS the story.

Hopefully we can all stay on topic, which is the Trudeau Foundation, then deflections will not be necessary.

And not only that. The Trudeau Foundation is operating all kinds of illegal activities out of the basement of an Ottawa pizza takeout.

IMO, it's "ugh" to refuse to condemn those in power who try to silence their accusers, and it's particularly "ugh" to do that with the deflective tactic of "well, they're not the only ones doing it".

The Trudeau Foundation's refusal to simply proceed in English court suggests they have reason to silence their accuser.

No proof they're using their power to try to prevent the charges being heard in court in English? Hogwash:
A year after Cherry Smiley’s lawsuit was first filed, the Trudeau Foundation has not yet filed a statement of defence but has twice filed motions that the suit be dismissed or denied jurisdiction so it can be heard before a judge in Quebec.
No statement of defence, just changes of jurisdiction to a court where she isn't fluent. Proof enough for most people that it's likely they're more interested in silencing their accuser than they are in proving their innocence.
