Recent election political damage to sexual assault commentary
This is the This is the pre-Christmas MY CANADA commentary. The subject matter will more likely be better used as out final 2018 or initial 2019 article since it will probably be considered negative by some readers. However, be that as it may, everything from media coverage to many other changes in life since 2000 and maybe even the 1990's will be commented upon.
To begin the election of Donald Trump as American President followed a couple of years later by the election of Doug Ford as Ontario’s Premier seems to be creating most noticeable changes. Both were elected for a variety of reasons but most glaring in the opinion of a lot of voters was the low turnout of eligible voters at election time. Many that did vote seemed to be expressing frustration with the previous elected political parties and wanted to express the need felt by all citizens for change. The result was a weakened and in ineffectual opposition allowing both leaders unbridled power to initiate programs and projects most people, according to polls, feel should not be a part of the way we are forced to live.
In the Trump case the lies media accuse the President of using to avoid owning up to displeasure by many Americans are spreading across international borders, including Canada, and threatening the traditional way of life and prosperity North Americas have come to expect. With the world political leader power and demonstrations gaining momentum almost everywhere it appears North American including both Canada and the U.S. will soon be affected. The greatest concern should be the history of such changes in the past. Everyone seems to believe the change will take place over an extended period, but history indicates major change happens quickly. One example is the beginning of the great depression in the late 1920s and through the 1930s before World War II. Those years certainly changed the world.
The Doug Ford regime in Ontario is notably off to a rocky start with some issues the media is reporting. There is bound to be discontent in some quarters after the previous Liberal government was so soundly defeated the Ford Conservatives gained a great deal of power to implement what many might consider drastic changes leading to possible unemployment if the current buyout offer to thousands of civil servants is not successful.
Now for the media again since this commentary has had articles in the past about TV, radio and social network coverage and changes created by the new direction. There just doesn't seem to be the same non-aligned reporting that was the trademark for reporters and even commentators in the past. Today media personalities it seems must include personal opinions when reporting on issues. There is no longer the apparent need to simply report the facts and let the reader or listener decide what is meant. Instead the tendency to lead the conversation in the direction of a specific media outlet seems to be the methodology media leaders dictate. The fact social media now creates documents based on opinions, rather than facts that are sometimes libelous or at least bordering on untruths, are on the internet daily. Even the most powerful politician in the world doesn't seem to feel lying or changing opinion without cause is unacceptable. So how can the public not follow the new direction. Personal opinions were always part of news reporting in the past, but usually not expressed strongly in news reports publicly except in social surroundings such as coffee shops and liquor bars and other such places where people gather for discussions.
The new direction of women power exemplified by "me too" will likely have consequences. The need to protect women from sexual assault is certainly needed. There are men who feel it is possible to more or less force women to accept sexual innuendo or even actions without having to answer for those activities. However much as the "me too" movement appears to classify many if not most men as sexual predators. The majority of women likely respect husbands and sons likely feeling the movement is unfair in many respects. The problem is where to draw the line when it comes to sexual activity. If a woman agrees to an affair such as a one-night stand because of a strong attraction to the man and subsequently feels it was a mistake after discovering the man is married and being unfaithful to a wife, is that sexual assault on the part of the man. That's only one situation that might be considered sexual assault since the man was well aware of cheating. Are both parties wrong or should the activity be considered sexual assault by the man?
