I see the National Post is running with "obtuse deliberate misunderstanding" about the "peoplekind" remark by Trudeau

If I'm the Liberals, I'm at least a little concerned about the general acceptance that it was plausibly something he could have said straight. - Name Withheld by Request Feb 8, 10:54 2
- Contextually, it's super clear to me. It's basically "Did you just assume my gender?" - Reagen Feb 8, 10:59 1
  - I watched the whole video. I get the Occam's Razor approach is that he was joking, but compared to other jokes he's made on tour, this was *very* dry. - Name Withheld by Request Feb 8, 11:05
