Probably not, he will just hide under a rock until his "advice" is needed.
It always is. He just went too far this time, and needs to disappear for a while.
We shall be seeing Flanagan 2.0 soon enough. He will be suddenly enlightened…. or something. He will never say what he really thinks again. He sits on too many think tanks distributing his brand of politics. and they need his "brand".
Yanno, the Harper govt has a distinct pattern of not protecting children. Sure, fetuses are to be protected, kids? Flanagan has said vile and awful things before, the Harper Govt is so full of sociopaths and horrible people, that most of his stuff passes.
It’s OK to be a sexist pig. OK to be a racist, it’s OK to advocate for political assassinations, but saying that child porn is a "victimless crime" stirred too many up in the Harper base.
