It was an Avalanche Foundation event to support avalanche safety. I had a good day that day. I don\u2019t remember any negative interactions that day at all,\u201d he said, nodding and smiling to reporters.<\/p>\n<p data-elm-loc=\"5\">But on Thursday, he told reporters\u00a0that he apologized to the woman in question &#8220;in the moment,&#8221; although he also said he is confident he &#8220;did not act inappropriately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-elm-loc=\"5\">Now it&#8217;s likely the allegations were invented by a deranged lunatic, but what&#8217;s interesting is how quick Trudeau was to dismiss them given he spends half his time blathering on about gender issues. As is common with male feminists who chant &#8220;believe all women&#8221;, he carved out an exception for himself. However, Trudeau is now in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-47408239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a lot more trouble<\/a> in part due to his treatment of another woman:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr Trudeau has been accused of pressuring his former attorney general to cut a deal with a company facing corruption charges &#8211; and retaliating when she refused to play ball.<\/p>\n<p>The revelations could cost Trudeau the October general election, some pundits say.<\/p>\n<p>The former AG, Jody Wilson-Raybould, says Trudeau and his staff spent months trying to convince her that taking the company to trial would cost Canadians jobs, and their party votes.<\/p>\n<p>She also says she was subject to &#8220;veiled threats&#8221;, which she believes were made good when she was shuffled out of her department.<\/p>\n<p>Now another minister, Jane Philpott, has quit saying it was &#8220;untenable&#8221; for her to continue due to &#8220;serious concerns&#8221; raised by the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So a gurning SJW who&#8217;s never missed an opportunity to virtue-signal and polish his feminist credential turns out to be a corrupt, bullying, nasty piece of work especially to women who won&#8217;t do as they&#8217;re told.
