Our Primetime This Week Panel looks into the University of Calgary's decision to not expel Connor Neurauter, Prime Minister Trudeau's ongoing PR battles, pulling the plug on a naked swimming party in Calgary and an IKEA ad doubles as a pregnancy test.

The University of Calgary decides not to expel a student convicted of sexual interference

Tens of thousands of people signed a petition asking the University of Calgary to expel a student convicted of sexual interference with a 13-year-old girl in British Columbia when he was 18.

Connor Neurauter pleaded guilty on January 4, but the Kamloops judge decided to postpone the now 21 year old’s sentence until May so that he wouldn’t miss any of his university classes.

Critics say the decision shows that these types of offences are not taken seriously, and the Students Union at the U of C was in support of the call for expulsion.

Ongoing PR battle for Prime Minister ignites town hall meetings

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rule-breaking holiday at the Aga Khan’s private island is still haunting him.

Outgoing Ethics Commission Mary Dawson testified for the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics this week, and said his behaviour was unethical, whether or not Trudeau calls the religious leader a friend.

Some Canadians attending the PM’s Town Hall stops this week are calling him out for his bad decisions. That tour will bring Trudeau to Alberta in 2018. Is the public outrage justified?

Plans for a naked swimming party make a big splash in Calgary

A naked swimming party that was set to take place in Calgary has been cancelled.

The private event, organized by Calgary Nude Recreation, was to be open to all ages and was described an opportunity to “have non-sexual naked fun with like-minded individuals.” But critics say it could be dangerous for the children in attendance and could attract sexual predators.

The City says it was a safety issue that prompted the decision, not the nature of the event itself.

IKEA advertisement asks women to urinate on it for access to a Family Discount

IKEA’s newest advertisement is turning heads, and perhaps turning up some noses.

It encourages women to urinate on an ad for crib, and if it shows that you’re pregnant, a discount for the crib will be revealed. The company is calling it the IKEA Family Discount.

Our Primetime Panel this week includes: Dan Taylor, comic and pastor at Disciples Church in Edmonton; Stacey Brotzel, CTV Morning Live Edmonton anchor and Catherine Ford, freelance journalist.
