Noted Canadian lawyer, and political contributor for several major publications in Canada has recently wrote on his website regarding how we will see more politicians in in the great white north come under fire for sexual misconduct allegations. With the recent news of Ontario Premier candidate Patrick Brown and Liberal MP Kent Hehr stepping down amid allegations -- Kinsella suggests this is just the tip of the iceberg.
However, two sections of his recent blog stood out to me. This first is the suggestion that it is a "major player" in Canada politics:
"There are other men who are about to be exposed. Count on it. The media have been on their trail for many weeks. Once it gets through the editors – once it is okayed by the lawyers – other men will be going down. It is overdue. It is needed.
One of these men is very, very powerful. The stories have been known about him for three years. They are in affidavits, plural.
His name will shock you."
The second piece that I found most interesting comes from the comments section in the form of a reply by a reader named "matt." now this may just be someone sensationalizing for whatever reason, and ordinarily I would never give credence to a comment -- but this Matt person seems to have connections to Warren via legal colleagues and he had this to say when someone asked if Warren could share who the major play possibly is:
"Matt says:

If it’s the same person who I’ve been told has multiple sworn affidavits against him, you can’t get bigger in Canada. I know one of the people who’s signature is on one of the affidavits.
This person has told me the contents of the affidavits. Explosive doesn’t even begin to describe it. I will not repeat what I was told here because haven’t personally seen them, and even if I had, I don’t want to make legal trouble for Warren.
What I will say…… if they do get out, they will destroy this persons very carefully crafted public image and reputation"

Is this guy a politician? If so is he liberal or conservative?
If not a politician in what field is he famous?
Thanks"

Warren is claiming a major figure with (albeit grains of salt) others in the comments trying to shed some light on the possibility.
I'm not paying too much certainty in "matt's" contributions but there are only two major politicians in Canada who outwardly make a point of their love of theme socks -- the first being the most obvious:
The other is BC Premier John Horgan.
Now I know this is just very early speculation with no substance yet -- but Warren is a reputable source and the notion that prominent politicians, even head of the state could be in the cross hairs of the #metoo movement. The fact that it could be the Canadian champion of feminism just makes it deliciously hilarious
