ALthough superstition is idiotic, one good reason not to see the bride right before the weding is to save that “whoa” for the meeting at the altar. Not a great reason but a cute one.
Trudeau is making a straw man argument. He is consistently claiming that conservative or Republican arguments are this claim (e.g. that Obama is a socialist despite his relatively moderate positions because he is black) when the actual claim is far stronger. In essence, Garry seems to make some pretty bold, unfounded claims about conservative arguments.
Hopefully there’ll only be a first time.
