Good morning, class

A woman tweeted this at me last night about Mr. Hehr
People noticed. Good.
#MeToo and #PCPO

The Ontario bombshell
I know these three guys. I admire them. I trust them and their judgment. This says it all. It’s true. . And my weeks-ago prediction that the #MeToo movement would…
