Oh Lordy, where to start? 1/8

First off, this is such an obvious crawl back because the previous post was ill-received. A bad mistake was made. People reacted. There is such a thing as letting it go. This is not that thing. 2/8
Responding with this, in the face of public outcry, is just cheesy and sad. "Oh, you didn't like that? Well, forget that, now there's this". 3/8
This is so overdone, both the timing and the photo itself. The tray, like he is humbling himself, and the flowers... Way over the top and way out of touch with Canadians. 4/8
If I had any suspicion O'Toole or his comms team understood sarcasm or satire, I would view this as a big nose-thumbing to the Canadians who took offense to the original post. 5/
And maybe Rebecca does like rose... Some people must, I suppose, or it wouldn't sell so well. But this perpetuates yet another gender-based stereotype. 6/8
When my husband and I used to go out, pre-pandemic, and order drinks, the bartender or wait person would, inevitably, try to give me the wine and give my husband the beer. 7/8
As I said, maybe Rebecca likes rose. Fair enough. But this really just layers more stereotypes onto the original problematic post. This is just digging a deeper hole, imho. Also, still not at all convinced he runs, or that their wardrobe just happens to be all blue. 8/8
