‘Middle class’ Justin Trudeau offers apology (of sorts) to used-car salespeople

[Locutus]

Justin Trudeau’s attempts to appeal to the middle class have come under fire again after he was forced to apologize for making disparaging remarks about Canada’s used car salesmen.

During a scrum with CTV news this week, the Liberal leader said: “I think we are now ranked below used car salesmen,” in an attack on the reputation of Hill politicians.


The seemingly innocuous comment caught the eye of Warren Barnard, the Executive Director of the Used Car Dealers Association of Ontario, who took exception to the remarks, both in calling used vehicles sales people unethical, but also for implying that they were all men.

Hey, I think I have some righteous indignation lying around here somewhere. Where did I put it? Oh, I was sitting on it while I watched Honey Boo Boo. It's a little dull right now, but, I'm going to watch this clip of Trudeau a few more times and stroke my righteous indignation the whole while. By the time I'm done, I should have it shining bright and new and ready to show the world!! Better find your shades people. Better find your shades.

Purveyors of used automobiles complaining about unethical treatment, that's one of the signs of the apocalypse right? Somewhere in between blood on the moon and fire from the sky?

I'm not sure what the big deal was over Justin Trudeau's comment..??

I mean the general public expectation is that car salesmen will lie to you, just to sell you a lemon. So what's the big deal.
