…and how much did this investigation cost tax payers?
Just wow. It’s truly a suckers game.
Too much
Exactly why politicians are not accountable.
… and Trudeau is a criminal on the run.
@Leave A Msg User Is Offline not yet, let’s hope so.
yeah $300 is no consequence.
So jail ?if WE did that WE would be in WE jail 😈
fine of $300.00 CAN
No you wouldn’t. And I bet you didn’t even know it was illegal to promote fellow party members while a cabinet member.
WE think that you have superior intelligence. WE think 🤔 that was a quote of the week.
@michardav Listen to the story he used Departmental funds to promote the candidates.
@1959bigjohn doesn’t matter what you say, Karens’ mind gone
The more important question, when will the guy at the top of the pyramid, have to answer to all the illegal acts he has done? After all he broke the sacred separation between executive and judiciary in the SNC story.
The separation of the 3 branches is nothing more than a theory when the PM appoints most of the key positions in each branch
What a joke
I know Harper should have been nailed to the wall for giving them the contract after being warned by the RCMP not to. But nobody seems to want to hold him accountable.
@Fr K Appointments aren’t the issue. The interference by the PM and his office into a judicial process is the issue.
@MsSparklesNGlitter Appointments are the issues, if they want to keep their high paying jobs , they dam well better play ball or they are sacked like JWR was
Even if some traffic tickets are more than $300. LOL. O Canada!
Oh! Canada 😒🇨🇦
This the whole of politics, they are all rotten to the core.
“A fine of $300” — lmao, what a joke
Half days pay..lol
Break a quarantine rule…$800+ fine.
Harper didn’t even get that. I said back then they were setting a bad precedent, that sooner or later a Liberal would do the same thing.
@Darth Vader I think the bigger issue is that no politician wants the ethics commissioner to have any teeth, which is why they have no power. Classic conflict of interest.
@warmpi agreed
Morneau & Trudeau seem to do a lot of illegal things “perhaps inadvertantly” and only get slaps on the wrist for it!
I didn’t vote for these crooks and anyone who did in the last election are their accomplices and enemies of Canada.
Harper and his gang were a bunch of crooks as well. They should be in jail with Trudeau and his band of criminals. I didn’t even vote last time because I refuse to endorse crooks no matter which side they are on.
As opposed to bribing a senator to lie about his main residence?
@michardav Trudeau is definitely worse but a crook is a crook. It’s all corruption and should be punished.
@musiclogic you know it’s weird, everybody says their side is worse.. Curious why do say Trudeau is worse? Is it the amount of scandals in his administration versus the previous?
@michardav I don’t have a preferred side. I have never voted FOR someone ever, I have only voted to defeat the PM in charge. The WE thing is such a massive abuse of tax dollars. Also, the SNC thing was corruption to the core. I voted for Harper. And I voted for Trudeau to get rid of Harper. Now Trudeau has to go.
Canada has out grown it’s childish federal government.
A $300 fine is the punishment , by law.
Canadian Politics is rotten to the core
Yep! Keep in mind Morneau is worth $50million dollars!!!! So far he’s has used WE charity funds to pay for a $40thousand dollar getaway and now this. BS that it’s only costing him $300
Corruption is the liberal way.
To be fair I’m pretty sure corruption is the name of the game for all politicians. The system is rigged.
@Crash Dash 100% true. Pierre Poilievre actually had to sign a compliance agreement with the Elections Commissioner for breaking the act in the exact same way but worse.
@Crash Dash from top to botten
$300 fine…. whats the point of the act in the first place if a speeding ticket can be worth more
the lowest amount for a social distancing ticket is 3X more. with the highest being 10,000.00CAN I believe with a possibility of jail time LOL
What a surprise! Liberals cheating, taking bribes, lying and stealing…..That’s how they won the last time!
Yea I know, the politicians should be held accountable! I said it when Harper was let off for violating the elections act and others of his cabinet that is set a dangerous precedent.
Liberals much worst than Conservatives. From a previous liberal supporter (prior to J Trudeau).
@michardav you know what you sound like? “MMBUT- BUT, HARPERRR DID IT TOooOOOOo!”
@michardav NO ONE, NO ONE beats the Liberals when it comes to corruption, lying and stealing! Just look at their “cousins” the Democrats, to the South!
@Hunt Mike hmm Did they ever bribe a Senator to lie about his place of residence?
So the whole a more transparent and accountable government was literally the biggest lie in Canadian history
A whole $300 fine… what a total joke our country has become
Again, where are the RCMP in all of this. Sitting on their asses in a doughnut shop looking for free coffee and doughnuts. Maybe we should defend them.
RCMP needs to be abolished. Very very crooked.
Not in donut shops, out Collecting tax MONEY!
There racking in billions for the GOVERNMENT’S.
FALSE covid charges any way they can get it! Quebec just implemented a 5500.00 fine for ANYONE not wearing a mask! Don’t matter what type of mask as long as it somewhat looks OK !
Any material will work even window screen! DOESN’T THAT SAY ANYTHING TO YOU? All is FALSE, koovid is FALSE!
Wake the hell up!
We need to start arresting these criminals.
Violates the elections act pays a $300 fine what a joke.
Should be 3million in fines .
No surprise at all liberal dictatorship at its finest politicians are all criminals
Guy is a multimillionaire. That would be like fining the average person a nickel.
