He should apologize. It doesn't get much lower than "yo mama a ho" attacks.
Margarets escapades (Ted Kennedy, the 'Stones) caused Pierre much anguish. She left him, and Pierre got to be a single dad.
It's all on record. Not be polite to bring it up with one of the kids. Don't blame Justin for not wanting to speak with the Sun after that.
So what? What does that have to with Justoin Trudeau? How hard is it for the fear and loathing crowd to understand that "yo mama a ho" should not be considered acceptable political discourse. And then comparing Trudeau to a rapist for a peck on the cheek?
Think you've got me mixed up with someone else.

I think he was being sarcastic, but because he didn't use an emoticon, it's hard to tell.

Meh, JT still isn't going to be Prime Minister.

Certainly the comments were in bad taste but most older Canadians , Liberal or Conservative, thought the same thing, but they had the manners not to say it out load.

Yup, we are truly that stupid.
We don't even know how stupid we are.

It's just the kind of people they are. They were raised that way and they exist in a bubble surrounded only by others that behave and think that way as well. That's why they don't control themselves, because they're associated with others who are doing the exact same thing. It's like being in a frat house full of rapists. Soon enough they end up becoming one themselves because all the people they choose to have around them are rapists too.
Here's another example, of the conservative Rupert Murdoch-owned NY Post bravely attacking a one-day old baby:
The short answer is that the people who do these things are just assholes. The longer and more complicated answer is that they have some genuinely deep and awful mental and emotional issues, the way all bullies do. I doubt that they can be cured. There's too much money and power behind them encouraging them to keep finding a new low to sink to. Probably best to avoid any association with them altogether because they're never going to change. The more likely thing to happen is that they're just going to get worse.

She was bipolar, presumably still is, tho treated now.

She blamed her marijuana use.
Every one of her hospitalizations was supposedly preceded by a weed binge.

$1:
In 2001, a year after Pierre’s death and her second marriage in trouble, Trudeau ended years of denial and checked herself into an Ottawa hospital, where she was diagnosed with bipolar. Five years later, when she felt her recovery was as complete as it needed to be, Trudeau announced at a hospital fund-raiser that she had been struggling with bipolar for years and had been misdiagnosed for decades.

The weed may have triggered manic episodes. Or she was binging on weed/drugs when already in a manic state.

Regardless of what either of the elder Trudeaus did, using the wrong facts about the wedding photo to segue into a malicious personal attack on the parents of a politician... wrong on so many levels.
How anyone can defend Ezra on this is beyond me.

Shows how we are walking down the same road as the US, with more and more polarization, where anything goes. Look at the recent Calendra debacle.

FFS what is this? Some of you sound like my goddam old man in 1968.
First of all if you make statements like that in print or on the air you can be called for libel. And PROVE them in court to avoid jail. The proper response is for them to FIRE Ezra for exposing them to that liability!
