Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown resigns over sexual allegations!

has he been charged?

whats the age of consent?

Age of consent would have been ok - I think 17 but as an older politician probably not the smartest thing to do (although not sure how long ago this alleged incident was).

Really, do I ask my employees for sex. Yes that's how I roll, call a meeting, take attendance and then do a poll around the room for which employee will give me sex. For those who may now be shocked, this is sarcasm.

Isn't this what the second allegation was? I've seen workplace romance/affairs but never personally seen boss/subordinate ones (considered bad due to the power differential) although there are enough bad stories about these out there.

Even if the new leader is a revolting dumb ass, at election time, remember who and what we've been saddled with Liberals in power and vote accordingly. We don't work for these people, they work for us, long overdue we remind them who's really in charge. Making the next election a crushing defeat will do exactly that.

Age of consent used to be 14 here. Now it is 16.

I agree Trudeau had no business commenting on Brown until things became more clear, and or actual charges were laid, that was BS.


If you buy a stolen car and you didn't know it was stolen......it don't matter, you're not keeping the car and you are in possession of stolen property. Buyer beware.

If you meet up and bang a 17 year old girl, but you didn't know she was 17.....it's still illegal under the law, so beware because you'll still be accountable for it. I think this the most reason why he's done.

Also, as a people manager you can't do the things he was doing with his female employees, not in this day and age.

Brown was sure quivering during his statement, his world has come crashing down.

Here is an interesting article that sums up this situation... http://nationalpost.com/opinion/chri...now-vulnerable

We are doomed!!

Always enjoy and respect Christie's editorials, and usually tune into her 'Round Table' debates on 1010.

Let it be perfectly clear.
The point is not what Brown allegedly did.
The point is not even Brown, though spare a minute for him, that poor, lonely castoff.
That his senior staff deserted him immediately is no reflection on the strength, or lack of it, of the allegations made against him. Political staff are the human equivalents of blowflies; they’re the first to recognize a corpse

Age of consent is 16 here. Was 14.

In his line of business, if you're walking this close to the line (whether it's 16,17, etc) it's playing with fire.

Accusers are still anonymous?

As this plays out, my thought of this shit show could have been orchestrated by the Conservatives themselves. Brown didn't have the popularity and was still fairly unknown, certainly not the right choice as the leader of the party. Brown is booted... Create all this drama, media attention... Get a new leader, most liking female, all eyes are watching. Hopefully this will gain the PC more voters as the result of this fiasco.
