In the grand scheme of things it probably doesn't really matter since i'm pretty sure there weren't alot of Muslims or left wingers intending to vote for her in the first place.

But good for her for standing by her convictions and whether they were right or wrong isn't the issue here. Given the sad state of accountability and low standard in politics right now all she would have had to do was lie saying that she didn't know the difference between Islam and radical Islam and she'd have been forgiven.

Speaking personally I can tell you she didn't lose the vote of us who think if you follow Islam's instruction manual she was pretty much just calling a spade a spade.

Sorry, you responded to quick. I edited my original post to reflect Canada's standards when things like this happen.

I don't know...

There's a good argument that has to do with something they call "abrogation" that says she called it right the first time.

Possibly you could say there's a difference between orthodox Islam and the one apologists like Wikipedia tell you about. But when the caliphate takes over you're not getting your instructions from Wikipedia.

But I'm thinking that those calling for her head right now don't take apologies or explanations anyway. Better to just ride it out.

That may be true but the tact that Trudeau and Gerald Butts have taken is apologise and then, just ignore because, for some odd reason their supporters are still going to vote for them despite the fact that the PM's past history of physical attacks on women, current numerous ethics violations and blatant anti feminism would sink any other Canadian politician's career.

What past history of “physical attacks” are you referring to, that one alleged incident 20 years ago where allegedly he tried to grind with a woman in the dance floor?

What blatant anti-feminism are you referring to? His fallouts with 3 party members who happened to be women?

Nope not 20 years ago but a little more recent in case you've forgotten.

"What kind of man elbows a woman? It's pathetic! You're pathetic!" Mulcair can be heard on tape shouting at Trudeau.

An emotional Brosseau said later in the House that she had been "elbowed in the chest by the prime minister," bringing Trudeau to his feet once again to "apologize unreservedly."

At first pass, the SNC-Lavalin affair might not seem like an issue with a feminist underpinning. But the problem with running on a feminist agenda is that when two of your strongest female cabinet ministers resign, you face something of a feminist reckoning. Trudeau has earned international accolades for his vocal support of women’s issues; here at home, he has been criticized for virtue signaling. And the question of what it really means to have gender parity—not just in the cabinet or government, but at work, at home, and in society more broadly—is something for which Trudeau’s brand of feminism might not be able to provide a satisfying answer.

So, good old "act and then apologize" is still getting a pass from Liberal voters no matter what he does because, the results of a non Liberal gov't for them would be to horrific to contemplate. If there's on thing the "right to rule" people can't stand is a differing political philosophy running their country.

Wah wah virtue signal what a bunch of crybabies.
Actual disgusting behaviour like cutting foreign aid, promising to cut public services and not believing in climate change - now those are virtues!
Mocking children because they give a shit, yes that's a new low but we've seen no matter how low those who call themselves the right go, they'll still go even lower.

That's what I thought when she first said it.

Then I laughed.
