I have no idea if this is true but if there’s anything to this (unsubstantiated) rumor, it’s NOOOO BUENO for the Liberal Party.
There’s a fairly aggressive story that seems to be fueled by the Conservative Party of Canada and Trudeau’s abrupt loss of his teaching job from West Point Academy HS in Vancouver back in 2001.
Conservative Party Web Site: After media reports revealed that Justin Trudeau wore blackface during an event at West Point Grey Academy, Canadians have been asking why exactly Justin Trudeau left his teaching job at the school. It’s understandable why people have questions, after all Trudeau’s story has changed four times since 2001.
First, the Ottawa Citizen reported in 2001 that Trudeau would “give up his teaching job at a Vancouver private school next September to give speeches.” Several days later this claim was refuted by Trudeau in a statement issued by law firm Heenan Blaikie. The Montreal Gazette reported Trudeau was accepting a teaching job at a public school.
In his 2014 autobiography, Trudeau says he left the school after a dispute with the administration over an article written in the school newspaper. According to Trudeau, he convinced a student to write an article criticizing the fact that the girls at the school were never reprimanded for the way they dress. This article was deemed disrespectful by the school’s administration.
The Vancouver Sun reported in 2015 that the reason Trudeau left the school was “in part over a dispute over dress code and values.”
In a 2019 book by John Ivison, Trudeau’s departure is summed up as “a disagreement over an article written by a student for which Trudeau was responsible”.
On October 4, 2019 Trudeau said he left the school “because [he] was moving on with [his] life”.
That same day, the former headmaster of the school said that Trudeau left the school because he was going to study to be an engineer.
Why did Justin Trudeau leave West Point Grey Academy? What’s the real reason? Why has his story changed so many times, and if the above reports are incorrect, why hasn’t Trudeau corrected the record?
Let’s deal with the Conservative’s douchebaggery here, first.
They clearly grabbed a pile of dirt on Trudeau over the past 4 years and mapped out a strategy to win without having to talk about policies or principals because they have neither. It’s a greezy Un-Canadian power move but that’s the order of the political day so accept it. I wouldn’t vote Conservative if Andrew Scheer was the only one on the ballot but it has nothing to do with the rumor he’s dying to see in the public forum.
You know why I don’t like the media? They are all about tabloid these days.
Here’s the rumour they’ve been sitting on.
Allegedly, @JustinTrudeau slept with a 17 year old when he was a teacher.
That’s the big scoop, apparently.
Do with this as you will. #cdnpoli #elxn43

Let’s qualify this tweet and rumor.
James DiFiore runs a political blog called BlackBallmedia.ca and he’s legit. I think he’s legit. He’s been threatened, sued, called out and threatened some more for reporting on and calling out corporate/media collusion and he just presents facts. That doesn’t make this rumor of Justin Trudeau sexting a 17-year-old student true. Some would agree, it doesn’t mean it’s bullshit either.
Well, the tabloid part is as follows:
The girl doesn’t want to talk, apparently. So the @globeandmail have allegedly been trying to convince her for weeks, after, allegedly, they secured a copy of the NDA.

7.5 I’d say.

James is pretty chill and level headed about the rumor in his blog post too:
Blackballmedia.ca I tweeted what I know; that various sources from different media outlets, ex staffers of conservative politicians, as well as disgruntled ex Liberal war room strategists are swearing that there is a secured non-disclosure agreement and a semi-cooperative female witness.
Recently, the Globe and Mail’s Robert Fife, who broke the SNC Lavalin story, said on CTV that he sat on the Andrew Scheer insurance broker story for weeks. He then, coincidentally, broke the story when it would garner more coverage, and cause more damage than it would have weeks earlier. He could have released the story when he first questioned the Conservative Party about Scheer’s broker license, but he waited instead.
The worst part is none of this is uncommon. Many journalists reading this will be shrugging and saying, “Well, yeah. That’s how it works.”
James is correct. That is how it works and I’ve seen it and lived it. I’ve had NHL and MLB players and agents send me information they want to be leaked for personal reasons. A ‘lawyer’ named Kathryn Wells conspired with her reporter friends at the Toronto Star a few years ago to get her rapist client off a rape charge and in the process had me labelled me as homophobic, which led to my firing destroying a radio station in the process.
It also helped an appeals court overturn her client’s rape conviction which was always the goal. Maybe she likes rapists or maybe she was tired of losing, I dunno. What I do know is, I can talk about it without impunity because it’s all true.
News flash: People use their friends in the press with like-minded interest to affect an outcome. Get used to it before you call James a gaslighter or conspiracy theorist.
I’m reading that #JustinTrudeau has retained lawyers to obtain an immediate injunction against @globeandmail to prevent publication of a most damning report that goes to most egregious behaviour— does anyone have any credible evidence to confirm this?

Cause Trudeau paid the girl and her parents. They have an NDA and are worried about breaching it!
One would think after Harvey Weinstein this sorta cover up tactic wouldn’t work!
The time is now to finally come out about the horrific actions of Trudeau.#metotrudeau https://t.co/0NaMLH63F4

Why did Justin Trudeau abruptly leave that school mid-term? https://t.co/it6nkp6lPM #elxn43 #cdnpoli

This all may be a red herring OR it’s true.
I’m not invested in either outcome. Unless it’s true, then holy shit will this James Difore be the ‘news balls.’
“James is correct. That is how it works and I’ve seen it and lived it. ”
Yet, it’s “conservative douchebaggery” when conservatives do this.
And considering your other posts, and your apparent defense of Trudeau’s blackface, I now know too that you support racism at any level. Too bad: I was looking forward to Jason Gonsalves’ posts more. Now I’ve no reason to read anything by someone who advocates and supports racism, but at the same breath, suggests this is all a matter of “conservative douchebaggery”.
Considering Turdeaus multiple scandals that he denied ever happened (and refused to accept responsibility for) i have no doubt that this story is probably true. It would not shock me if Turdeau was a rapist (see Kokanee Grope).
Lets deal with Dean Blumpkins douchebaggery first
1. The conservative statement was released after a inquiry by a Globe and Mail Reporter (Marieke Walsh) why Trudeau abruptly left teaching and if he had signed a NDA. He had to be asked 3 times before he finally answered the question btw
2. Blaming Conservatives for this story is asinine, you were the same type of person who would assume Trudeau Black Face pictures were fake even after you saw them with your own eyes and probably blamed Conservatives for that too
3. Considering your own indiscretions youre the last person who should be talking about “douchebaggery”, i wonder how many skeletons are in your closet Dean.
Firstly its not being spread by “the conservative party” that statement was issued AFTER The Globe and Mail reporter (whos been kicked off Trudeaus campaign) asked Trudeau why he left the school and if he had a Non Disclosure agreement. Secondly while it hasnt been proven true it hasnt been proven false either, the speculation is he committed statutory rape and paid this girl to cover it up. The story is only believable because Trudeau has lied about every single scandal thats come out from Aga Khan, SNC, Groper Gate, Ethics violations to Black Face, the guy isnt trustworthy.
James DiFiore… your source for ‘information’ was convicted of voting multiple times in an election.. Great source. It really lends credibility to your bullshit uneducated views. Nice work.
I was paid by NOW Magazine to do that, for the record.
I’ll just point out here that an NDA can’t be used to cover up a crime. That’s an illegal contract that can’t be held up by a Canadian Court. So if he is guilty of inappropriate behavior that would have broken the law, enshrining it legally in an NDA would not just be a completely stupid idea, it would be so untentable as to be a waste of lawyers time and money (assuming they wanted to be able to continue to practice). Let’s face it, this is an easy rumor to generate because there is suggestive and circumstantial evidence but nothing supportable to draw a conclusion from realistically. THAT is why it hasn’t been published. Because contrary to the paranoia of the people on this page, there are some journalistic standards, and publishing rumor does not tend to lend credibility. If they have a copy of the NDA and it discloses something in the public interest, a journalist has a legal right to publish.
Maybe worry instead about criticizing policy decisions the party is making. Or criticize actual illegal practices. Don’t be the definition of a useful idiot and disseminate unprovable rumors.
The only people leaving a teaching job midstream are either pregnant or sick as a rule.
No one needs a lawyer to say why they left a job unless they’re guilty. It’s amazing what money can cover up
