Me Too - Over Priced Pipelines

Why an 18-year-old groping allegation against Justin Trudeau is not a #MeToo moment

The Prime Minister’s Office says Trudeau does not recall any 'negative interactions' during his visit to a music festival in Creston, B.C., in 2000

Trudeau’s comments came just before he removed Calgary MP Kent Hehr from cabinet based on decade-old accusations of similar improprieties.
