Two prominent Canadian politicians have resigned following accusations of disrespectful behavior as the anti-harassment movement of MeoT has increased its influence on social networking sites
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday that the minister of sports and special needs Kahn Bahr, 48, resigned as the government investigates allegations of inappropriate comments by women
Brown resigned on Thursday after being accused of making unacceptable sexual gestures to two women. Brown strongly denied the accusations, which were received on Wednesday evening in a report by CTV News
"Harassment of any kind is unacceptable and Canadians have the right to live and work in a climate free of harassment," Trudeau said. "We believe it is necessary to support women who are happy about things, and this is exactly what our government will do," he said
Bahr and Brown are the most famous politicians who have lost their jobs over allegations of unethical behavior since sexual harassment victims launched a # me2 campaign on social networking sites last year
The campaign was launched from the United States and caused the exclusion or resignation of a number of celebrities in the entertainment, politics and media sector. It has gained momentum in Canada in recent weeks and was influenced by a national gymnastics team coach and technical director of a leading theater group in Toronto
