Or possibly realizing the Jack "John" Layton might be a bit of a sleeze bag.

Or possibly realizing that the tories run sleazy campaigns. The polls certainly suggest so.

No, as far as we can tell, that does not appear to be the popular sentiment.

Right. As oppose to the secret agenda campaigns, or the troops in the streets campaigns run against Harper. How soon we forget.

Oh well, he is a politician.
The thing is still a non-story, but please keep making more and more a fool of yourself which each now posting about it.

They were busy attacking the Liberals.

They were busy attacking the Liberals.

So we agree Dirty tricksters Conservatives and Liberals. Not so much the NDP. Good.

The Toronto police investigation into the leak of the massage story will keep this thing alive. If there's more to it than Layton admits, he'd better hope this probe doesn't unearth information he would rather keep out of the public domain.

Those are two seperate issues. Layton answering questions from the media is completely different than whether or not there's something more to the story. It's not rocket science to conclude that there may be more to the story regarding an individual found completely naked at a massage place that's cited for sexual services.

Show me where the place was cited for violations. And as for concluding what "may" be.... there "may" be snow in August, but I doubt it.

This man can be Canadas next PM and he's found naked lying in a bed. What sort of example is this man setting? This is an outrage!!!!!

You can find me naked in my bed every night. ARE YOU OUTRAGED????

Here are some answers to questions people have been asking:

The palour stopped operating after the raids (not something you expect from a legit place):

Seems to be that Jack would have to be awfly naive to not know what was going on.

"He's claiming he got a legitimate massage, but the issue here is it's clear it was a rub-and-tug and most people in society would know that when they go in. I'd be very surprised that a very smart politician would not have known ... and Jack was very smart." -Toronto councillor Giorgio Mammoliti


Jack says that he had no idea what kind of place it actually was. Really?

It's called "The Velvet Touch". It's located in a district known for bawdy houses. They had a "red-light/green light" warning system. Jack walked in there at 9pm. Legitimate therapeutic clinics are open after 9pm?

Are we supposed to believe that Jack was the most naive guy in Toronto?



Regardless of what services Jack was actually receiving, patronizing such an establishment is a betrayal of the feminist principles Jack says he fights for.

What a reliable source was have here. He claims in one sentence there were no complaint, and in the other that everyone new this was a bawdy house. Nice to know the citizens of Toronto didn't complain.

Maybe the customers were really satisfied.

What's your point? That Jack had no way of knowing what kind of place he was walking into because there had been no complaints?

Did Jack decide which massage parlour to visit by sifting through complaints from the public and picking one that nobody had complained about? Would Jack have known not to go into that establishment if only somebody had filed a complaint with the police?

I'm honestly perplexed as to what argument you're trying to make.

Just a quick question.

What's wrong with what Layton did if he did get escort services at the massage parlour?

I know several guys his age who get it all the time?! I would too if I was his age I think.

Unless I'm missing something here?
