This has got me thinking of if their is a hypothetical situation where you the PM could have an affair with a staff member and be able to obtain free consent? I think it would be difficult and certainly need to involve no coercion or alcohol and explicit verbal communication consent

My stance that the presumption of innocence applies to all, regardless of political affiliation, still stands. No one should face life ruining allegations without the chance to defend themselves and the current MeToo approach doesn’t allow that.
I meant my comment as more a snarky reference to the statements we have been hearing from Trudeau, Singh and the CBC in the wake of the Patrick Brown stuff that says the presumption of innocence is only for the courts, that it doesn’t apply to claims made in the media and that all women who come forward must be believed. Then Trudeau has no problem making the statement that each case is different and due process must be afforded to those accused when questioned on Kent Hehr.
