I think he should be given his job back. Period. The whole thing was a pile of bullsh!t. The knee-jerk idiots in the PC party who pushed him out should resign. Hopefully, Ontario voters will see past what was clearly a calculated character assassination.
Careful, someone might file an anonymous complaint against you.
I disagree with you on this one, Murph.
You're entitled. Here's the thing: he resigned. Another election has to take place.
He wasn't pushed out. Accusations were made against him which conveniently happened, just before a provincial election. Not quite five months before Ontario was to go to the polls. He was asked to step down. He did. A few days later, the stories that caused the stir started changing.
What happened was a logical progression. No one expected one of the women would come forward and change her story so quickly. If you want to point the finger at anything, it would be CTV. I said this on another thread, but will repeat.
1. An anonymous tip goes into CTV claiming that Brown was guilty of sexual indiscretions. To maintain confidentiality, the names of the two accusers were not released, but Brown was named.
2. Despite one of the women claiming that she was underage, no complaints were filed with the police.
3. CTV claimed they performed due diligence. They verified everything and released the story. But it was obvious that they did not do their homework.
Brown is suing CTV, as it should be. In the meantime, the PCs are forced into another leadership race. Had CTV acted responsibly, this would not have happened.
It doesn't matter if the Liberals or the PCs convinced the women to come forward, or if they decided to do so on their own. CTV dropped the ball.
It's a province of Ontario matter.............Non?
