Justin Trudeau won’t be answering Sun Media’s questions anymore.The Liberal leader's office issued a short statement Tuesday saying the organization’s television network, Sun News, crossed an editorial line when it aired a particularlyoffensive rant by host Ezra Levant during his show last week.
Levant took issue with a photo of Trudeau kissing a bride on the cheek, which his photographer described in a tweet as a photobomb of a bridal party. Levant felt it was so inappropriate for Trudeau to kiss the younger bride on the cheek that he suggested the Liberal leader wanted to deflower her. He also compared Trudeau unfavourably to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who shook a bride’s hand when he surprised a wedding party in 2012.

Levant also referred to Trudeau’s father, former Liberal prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, as a “slut” and described how his mother “didn’t like to wear panties.”
“To Trudeau, it is always about him,” Levant told Sun News Network’s audience. “When it comes to women too, they are for his use.”
Levant also said the photo illustrates the way the Trudeau family sees marriage.
“Both Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau were promiscuous,” Levant said. “And publicized how many conquests they had. Eh, they didn’t even pretend to keep their oaths to each other,” Levant said.
“Liona Boyd. Margot Kidder. Kim Cattrall. He banged anyone, he was a slut,” he said.

Dated Anne Cools too...don't know if she did
“And Justin Trudeau’s mom — showing her there at Studio 54,” Levant said, of the picture of Margaret on the screen. “We had to blur it out because well she didn’t like to wear panties back then. Well, she wasn’t much different. And reportedly tended towards rock musicians. But also [U.S.] Senator Ted Kennedy too.”
“Now, if that’s your moral compass, huh, well kissing another man’s bride on her wedding day is pretty cool,” Levant said. “I’m not saying Trudeau got sexual with this bride. I’m just saying he invaded a personal intimate day.”
Trudeau’s office said the Liberal leader was asked by the bride’s husband to pose for a photograph and that he asked permission before kissing her on the cheek.
Trudeau has had an uneasy relationship with Sun Media. Several party insiders feel the news network, which is run by Harper’s former director of communications Kory Teneycke and employs several former Conservative staffers, is a partisan organization that co-ordinates its attacks against Trudeau with the Tories.
