But don't take my word for it:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the unusual step Tuesday of criticizing a professional sports team when he weighed in on the Montreal Canadiens’ selection of scandal-hit London Knights prospect Logan Mailloux.
Trudeau said the selection near the end of the first round of last weekend’s NHL draft – arguably the most controversial pick in draft history – showed a lack of judgment from the organization.
Yes, you vile scumbag, about that:
After weeks of discussion about the Kokanee grope, where Trudeau groped a female reporter and then apologized for being “so forward,” the PM kinda skated past the issue last July.
“I am confident that I did not act inappropriately,” Trudeau said at the time.
“I’ll be blunt about it — often a man experiences an interaction as being benign or not inappropriate, and a woman, particularly in a professional context, can experience it differently.”
Then he called the whole affair a “learning experience” for everyone in society.
(Sidebar: yes, we've learned that you're a f---ing disgusting animal.)

Only a loyal state broadcaster like the CBC would quote Justin Trudeau on a sexual discrimination case, without mentioning his sexual assault on Rose Knight, who "experienced it differently" or his general abuse of women around him.

Reading about Kobayashi and Fortin brought to mind a young Canadian with a well-known name who had a definite taste for dressing up in costumes and painting his face (not to mention, chest, arms and legs) black or brown. When images emerged of Justin Trudeau making a spectacle of himself in blackface at various points of his pre-politics career, he was suitably mortified, apologized profusely and used it, as he often does, to share a homily with Canadians on the importance of learning from the past, examining our actions with honesty and using the lessons to better ourselves.
It was similar to his response to complaints that, as a young man, he had groped a young female reporter at an event in British Columbia. He was a bit less repentant in that case, insisting he didn’t recall doing anything wrong, but acknowledging that “someone else might have experienced that differently.”
He didn’t step down, of course. And no one in his cabinet or caucus suggested he should. Rather than stick to the high-minded code he demanded of others, he played for time, waiting to see if Canadians would forgive him, which they largely did.
Canadians know how he treats women and do not care.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he isn’t angry that no one told him about a 2018 allegation of inappropriate behaviour made against now-retired Gen. Jonathan Vance, the former chief of the defence staff.

There’s really no way to sugarcoat this: Our prime minister is very probably lying to the public in order to cover up a cover up of a #MeToo complaint. That he, or at least his office, didn’t know the allegation against Vance was a sexual misconduct complaint simply beggars belief. The military ombudsman described it as sexual misconduct, the clerk of the the Privy Council described it as sexual harassment, and Trudeau’s own staff described it as sexual harassment in their emails.
If he’s not angry, there are only three credible explanations as to why not. One: The entire question is based on a false premise. He’s not angry because he knew all along. Two: His staff didn’t tell him in order to shield him and he’s not angry because he prioritizes protecting himself and his seat of power at all costs. Three: He’s not angry because he lacks empathy and really doesn’t give a flying fig about women.
