'Presumably'? Let's see, a 'writer' - not a journalist but a 'writer' (because the G& M says so?) based in centre of the known universe, Cambridge ON weighs in on a USA scandal and proceeds to extrapolate from that disgusting news (can you handle it Al?) that men in Canada are a bunch of predatory louts.  I for one won't be sucked into the feckless thesis that one rotten American media sleaze bag is somehow representative of male Canadian culture. I've got an idea for a counter story: "Rape culture 'writer' snags gullible old fish, hook line and sinker". Back in the barrel. Your correct about the limited life span - the longer the fish is outside the barrel, the stronger the odor.
