That's just Trudeau's typical M.O. though - deny, deny, and imply that it's all from people acting in bad faith. Then if it doesn't go away, slowly trickle truth for months on end, constantly moving the goalposts and offering up token gestures to try and slow or stop the attention. The only way he's ever honest is if the media and opposition are relentless and tireless enough to keep at him and not let things die. He's never upfront about anything possibly negative.

The POS who killed two people, who was so well known to be a POS that he had to be searched every day in order to attend school, shall never commit another crime again. The sad part (apart from the death of two innocent people) is that he didn't just kill himself first. The world is a slighter safer place today - happy ending to a sad story.

I work at a school and can attest it's ridiculously hard to expel a student and it's impossible if the student has any kind of IEP or a 504 plan because they're considered special education students and there's a ton of regulations schools have to follow for those kinds of students. I've had students violently assault staff members without any consequences because the administration is only allowed to suspend them from school 10 days total for the year so the administration feels they have to choose those days wisely, which the student knows so they know they can just keep assaulting people and have no reason to stop.

To expel a student for behavior issues requires the school to find and pay for their education somewhere else. Unfortunately, these few available alternative schools are selective and will then insist after a while that the student is ready to return to regular school since there's always a wait list and they want to free up a spot for another student. Then the student returns, can't cope with the regular school and does something that gets them kicked out and placed in a different alternative school. It's a horrible cycle and the returned students are usually more dangerous because they want to do something to get themselves out of the regular school again. I've had newly returned students try to commit suicide at school because they can't cope in a regular education system, and it's frankly terrifying as an educator.

I 100% agree with you that nobody should be telling him how to be poor. He is an adult and whatever works for him works for him. We don't know where he lives or what his options are.

That being said in my younger days when I never had more than 50 to $100 in my bank account, I did pretty much only eat cereal, ramen, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, soups, ham sandwiches.

To me ordering takeout on a regular basis sounds more gross than any of the above options.

While I'd like to be optimistic that this may actually go somewhere...

Remember that this guy has had several ethics violations as well as the whole WE charity bullshit just disappear into the void.

He's just as corrupt as the next politician but for whatever reason walks on water to his followers.
