I’m hardly a fan of the provincial Liberal party, but to attack someone based upon looks is shallow and offensive. I shan’t be paying much attention to Mr. Wayne in the future: not that I was anyway. I had no idea he was from Ontario. I apologize on behalf of all Ontarians, and Canadians in general. ---

Oh Jeepers! I was just trying to have some fun because it was just such a weird looking picture. I did not mean to offend anyone although I clearly did. For what it’s worth, I apologize and I take it all back. If there was some way I could delete this thread, I certainly would do that. ---

Bullshit. You posted it, now deal with the consequences. And an “I’m sorry if I offended you” is not an apology. ---

Uh huh. This was also your response to criticism of your Michelle Obama thread. Slow learner? Other possibilities can only be discussed in the pit thread. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Bullshit. You posted it, now deal with the consequences. And an “I’m sorry if I offended you” is not an apology. OK. I’m sorry that my apology wasn’t proper and so I will now apologize for my apology. I’m sorry. I’m very sorry. If you will tell me the proper form of an apology, I will apologize to suit your reuquirements. ---

> [@Emiliana](#): > > Uh huh. This was also your response to criticism of your Michelle Obama thread. Slow learner? Other possibilities can only be discussed in the pit thread. Yes. I am a slow learner. The speed of my learning is below average and I’m sorry. I promise that I will never post any more threads making fun of people due to the way they look - either because they look good or because they look bad. ---

If it were 20 years ago, I could imagine this was a brain fart or oversimplification (conflating the Territories and Provinces)…but Nunavut’s been around for almost 16 years now…even if you’re going to do that, there’s \*\*13 \*\*partitions of the country… ---

> [@davidm](#): > > Someone made an unfortunate choice of photo for that Wikipedia page. You can find bad photos of just about any politician of any prominence. I doubt that that forced smile, deer in the headlights expression is representative of her normal appearance. In any case, it says nothing one way or the other about her competence. Yes. You are correct and I should never have questioned her competence based on the way she looks. That was wrong and I will certainly try never to do that again even though I don’t think I actually did that. But, whether I did that or whether I didn’t do that, I apologize either way and I’ll try real hard to remember never to do that again. Moreover, I will now stop posting to this thread for fear of causing any more of a furor than I already have. I am out of this thread now. ---
