The 2019 Canadian election was not only the ugliest one in memory, it was also a field guide on how NOT to run a campaign. ALL of them - Liberal, Conservative and NDP! Though one of them was, in the opinion of host Steven Kerzner, "brilliant" in how it used ugliness & disaster to make unwarranted gains.

Like Elton John sings, "Sorry seems to be the hardest word." But does it make it hard to get hard too? Does apologizing impair a man's masculinity? Make you weak, effeminate, a loser? Or is the ability to apologize a very "manly" quality? And are there times when it's more admirable NOT to apologize? Also, forgiveness. Is it 'girly-man' to grant forgiveness or the act of a ...

So he's human after all. Justin Trudeau did dumb things when he was younger just like everyone else. Should apologized-for mistakes from 2 decades ago cost Trudeau re-election, when Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer compared gay people to dogs in 2006 and has NOT apologized? Who are we punishing - Trudeau or the country? Host - Steven Kerzner - h...
