Lisa MacLeod is a young female politician who commutes to her job at Queen's Park from Ottawa and leaves her husband, Joe, and four-year-old daughter, Victoria, at home. Mr. Justice Douglas Cunningham of Ontario Superior Court said this is a big distraction for the 34-year-old woman and as a result he felt he could not accept her evidence as corroboration of the Crown's key witness in the recent high-profile, influence-peddling trial of Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien.

This shocked me
Can a busy female politician give reliable evidence? A judge says no.

That's infuriating. That kind of thing would not have been taken into account if the evidence had come from a man. Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteWho would trust a woman who left her husband at home without supervision?
