You're absolutely right. It is extremely worrisome.
Right now, we are seeing a backlash against women and greater tolerance in society for violent language. Legislation is certainly needed to address that because it's totally unacceptable. It is pretty bad when society tolerates politicians saying racist, sexist and extremely violent things about women. It is totally unacceptable. If Canada wants to do something about violence against women, it has to send the message that it has zero tolerance for violence against women.
