Of course Trudeau is defending a candidate with sexual allegation.
That’s what happens when you get caught. It took “new information” for the Liberals to dump him.
I doubt there was new info. Very likely it was turning into an embarrassment the longer they kept dragging it out.
After 6 long years, I feel hopeful about Canada.
@Adam The Confused that’s why we have PPC now, they will not win in this election but one day they will… vote PPC.
@Adam The Confused
Yes, the Conservatives ARE better, but the PPC is best. They get my vote, even knowing that they might never win. I don’t care. A seat that has a PPC politician in it is a seat that represents me better than a seat with a Conservative Party politician, but I’ll take either of them over a Liberal Party or NDP or Green any day of the week. Even if the Conservatives are quite centrist.
@Norman McCollum Yup, that’s why I said I’m voting PPC also.
All politicians are corrupt!!!
@Stephane H My PPC candidate is Marc Emory….and sorry,but I wouldn’t vote for that single issue donkey ever. The PPC needs a lot of work.
Another one bites the dust. Don’t Vote for him.
I was just about to say that lol
Do one on Anita Vandenbeld (Lib-MP) and her husband Don Dransfield… and how she got caught by the ethics commissioner for trying to influence her husband’s run as an Ottawa city counselor..
That story never gets old…
The “Ethics Commissioner” is a sad excuse for governmental oversight. While it sounds great on paper, the past two Ethics Commissioners, Kim Dawson and Mario Dion, have both explicitly stated in their respective rulings in the SNV Lavalin Scandal and WE Sandal that the Ethics Commissioner really doesn’t have the authority hand out actual penalties aside from a “Hey don’t do that”. Their only job is to really identify whether a criminal act has taken place and it ends there with zero repercussions for the guilty party.
Just look at how Bill Morneau was punished for being found guilty of breaking three separate ethics laws in the WE Scandal. Trudeau and the government paid to endorse him to represent Canada in a lucrative financial appointment to the OECD, an international financial body…. as punishment…after Morneau was found guilty of corruption.
Liberal Hypocrisy > Me-Too
I assume Trudeau figures this will now make him elected for sure. NOT…..
Karma. Prayers to the women that he harassed.
Canada needs a change. This government is rotten and starting to smell bad.
I bet it stinks really bad
Corruptions at the highest levels
They stunk in 2015 CANADA was just nose blind!
trudeau defends this guy but tries to ruin a young kids hockey career just because he was an easy mark… disappointed in trudeau, deeply
After all he did this is the straw that broke you?
@Senza Senso well said!!!!!
@Ska Sc the killer.
@Daniel Arcadia
Can you explain in greater detail just what you are trying to say?
@Celtic One K … I have time … its all about numbers … The Government computer program incorrectly uses Rate of change in “case ,” instead of relationship to total population …even CDC last week only talks cases of hospitalisations …Furthermore the computer program did not calculate double vax asymptomatic mutations , negative feed back , Extreme child depression , suicides up , drug abuse up , domestic violence…Simply put bad numbers bad science
He should of stay on, Justin gets away with the same sexual misconduct.
Trudeau is next with his accusations never being fully vetted and dealt with.
@Saul Teanuts Your double digit IQ is showing.
@Nebula Voltron vote green, tard!
@Saul Teanuts Lol green… Get a grip goober.
@Nebula Voltron lol
@Saul Teanuts
I’m voting Conservative not Liberal because the Liberal Government has to many cases against them.
From a party that supposed to hold these values yet they themselves are steeped in allegations of inappropriate behaviour?
All of them have closet skeletons
well said!!!
Yeah you bet he’s ending the campaign. Another slimy LIBERAL…!
I am not surprised that Trudeau defended the guy and never removed him. Trudeau himself got away with sexual assault before, so to him its normal.
Exactly.
Not just him. Saini’s buddy Marwan Tabbara was allowed to run under similar circumstances in 2019.
Give him a few years……. just like cockroaches, he will be back – Can’t vaccinate against these types of politicians
They did not investigate the woman making allegations so that is stupid Hes guilty and should be gone And trudea the feminist is always defending him wtf All crooked and all women experience it differantly
Wait wait Wait, “Trudeau has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct…” You mean besides his own, right? LMFAO!
only because the pile of crap he was trying to dig his way out of got too deep, not because it was morally the right thing to do.
Funny, Trudeau interfered with Justice Minister Jody and fired her because she wouldn’t listen to Trudeau and drop the charges against SNC Lavelin, a huge campaign contributor to his campaign. So this is a minor item.
Too bad Justin Trudeau doesn’t do the same. He sure has a grocery list of inappropriate behaviour.
