If you want to make a point, why not just say so?

What IS your point actually?

Are you waiting for someone to Google up a list of respectable public figures - such as Conservatives, Priests, etc. - who turned out to be perverted freaks? I'd need a bit of time, but I'd be happy to help.

Hmmmm... this is the guy who under his time the new sex education curriculum was being written and when the public found out the new curriculum would teach children about masturbation by grade 4, oral and anal sex by grade 7... and more... D. Mcguinty withdrew the curriculum.

From what I heard, Kathleen Wynne wants it back into the school system. Makes me sick.

So what are you implying? That the curriculum was created as is because this guy was a pervert and wanted to inject his perversion into the curriculum? And that by continuing to support it the logical conclusion is that Cathleen Wynne is also a pedophile?

It sounds plausible, but no one person has that much influence over these things. This stuff is studied and decided by committee. I can’t picture any one person being able to just toss his ideas into a hat and have them implemented without a lot of people looking at it and agreeing.

I don’t like the sex-ed stuff either, but it’s an unrelated issue. On that topic, I’d point out that when you have a school monopoly, the consumer gets what it is given. We lost our right to complain about it when we put these idiots in charge of that monopoly again.

I stated facts and didn’t label anyone. Lets see if he is found guilty first then we can chat little more.

I don't really have a point.
I have questions:

Is he guilty of the charges brought against him?
If so.
What, influence did this person have on our education policy both as an educator of teachers and as a deputy minister of education?
Moreover,
Why is not more media attention devoted to the trial of such a potentially influential person?

why on earth would you ever take responsibility for your actions?

I'm going to teach my kids to deny culpability in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Don't worry, if convicted he'll be used as a pin cushion. Skin hounds don't do easy time. Forget Ben Levin, it will be Ben Dover. (If convicted)

Someone with that pedigree will never spend a day in general populace
It's also possible he will never be convicted (esp if the evidence turns out to be pre-2007)
