Should one person's decision be able to affect so many others in such a profound way? For example, in an unplanned pregnancy (a casual sex situation) where the mother wants to keep but the father does not, should the father than be absolved of any future financial and parental obligations?

Blackadder1916 said:Caveat emptor. Much as in real estate transactions (or, to bring it somewhat back on topic, in judging the statements made by politicians), it is up to the party of the first part to confirm all claims prior to taking action. In the absence of a binding warranty against all perils or consequences occurring after the fact, then one has to live with the outcome of their actions.

Donald H said:I hear you but my opinion wouldn't change on the man not having any say in whether to abort of keep the fetus. The reason being that the situation hasn't changed.
You know Weinie, sometimes I get the feeling that issues must be invented for political purposes, when in reality very little social disagreement exists in Canada.

Concur. Sounds like the donation was in the name of “(other name) P. Fronm”. Easy enough to get missed.O'Toole says he wants to eject Derek Sloan from caucus after donation from white nationalist | CBC News
I suspect he's wanted to do this for awhile, and is just using this as an excuse. Given the same size of the donation I think that it is reasonable to suspect that Sloan's staff was unaware of this individual background. I don't think that it's reasonable to expect research to be done on every single person who donates. My guess would be that most politicians from all parts of the spectrum have received donations from individuals that they wouldn't want to be associated with.
Sloan was always too far right for my liking. I attempted to communicate with his team during the leadership campaign regarding his somewhat extreme (IMO) firearms policy but never even received an acknowledgement.O'Toole says he wants to eject Derek Sloan from caucus after donation from white nationalist | CBC News

It’s a no-win for O’Toole, but with really only one choice. He absolutely cannot accept the risk of any of this particular type of mud sticking. As likely as it is that Sloan’s campaign was unaware of who the donation came from, strategically the CPC will get eaten alive worse if they don’t throw Sloan under the bus than they will if they do. While a lot of noise is now being made by people calling O’Toole ‘liberal-lite’, I think he saw and seized an opportunity to be seen taking a tough stand on a issue of strategic concern for the party’s image. O’Toole will take the bulk of the political damage personally, rather than CPC as a party eating it and losing votes.
However with a possible spring election coming to lock in a majority, O’Toole will really need to start swinging soon if he’s to energize Conservative voters. Pollievre had been arguably more visible than he has. Not a great look.
