  1. Another lie to be told to Canadians . This is an all hands bail the sinking ship . Mistake # 3 and that totals 3 strikes ,and that means ?

  2. They are corrupted or they have been coerced into playing ball with Trudeau. How much did Freeland and Chagger get paid in kickbacks through the $900 million dollar deal?

  3. Does Chagger think that if she lies to protect Trudeau, she won’t be tossed under the bus like so many other women in the Trudeau cabinet?

  4. You get paid by Canadians, but you are working for this government. Shameless propaganda. Do you even call yourselves journalists anymore?

  5. It’s like the old story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Your words have no weight to them anymore because I can’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth

    1. Its very scary to think how much this government has taken fromus as taxpayer for themselves.
      What’s scary is if this was a private company that did this every one Involved would go to JAIL but pretty boy has set this up in a way that NOTHING will HAPPEN to nobody 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. What the hell is she trying to say this is B S
      SORRY does NOT cover yes shes correct we have serious stuff happening investigation on this government SORRY does not cover we can not expect this BS

    3. Just 1 of 360+ billion he’s spent. Historic spending, we know where a lot of it went. The AG needs to be funded huge to look over everything

  6. How many mistakes would any public canadian citizen be able to make before being fired from a job? Anyone? I know many places I have chose to work ar have a 3 strike policy. Or a 1 strike method for major incidents.

  7. So she didn’t get direction but at the same time Trudeau didn’t recuse himself from the decision making process. How can both of those facts be true?

  8. Magic!!! This conflict of interest is like a magician’s act. In this case Justin Trudeau wants you to look here (conflict of interest), and not look there. He’s not concerned about another “conflict of interest”, as the slap on the wrist is “no problem”. But, methinks he’s copping a plea to a lessor charge. By focusing on this Conflict of Interest, and the fact that he did not recuse himself, we won’t concern ourselves with the real issues:
    The first issue is taking $43M Thank You of taxpayer monies for hiring my family for speaking engagements. We were all told up until today that this figure we $19 Million. Pierre Polievre appeared surprised at this revelation.
    The second issue is Trudeau stating that “this is all for the students”. But how can that be when of the $900 Million only $100 Million goes to the students. This is the REAL SCANDAL, which at maximum the students might get $100 Million. Do the math!
    Braddish Chagger described the financials of this program as offering a tuition grant to 20,000 students of between $1000 to a maximum of $5000. So, at the most generous level, 20,000 student x $5000 each maximum = $100 Million. Read that again $100 million.
    The contract was for $900 Million. If only $100 Million goes to the students (or even possibly less), then who gets $800 Million. It was loosely described as WE would distribute it to other Non-Profits. Hmmmm! Perhaps the Trudeau Foundation, and other pet charities of JT.

  9. Canada is headed towards having one of the most corrupt governments in the world. The arrogance to say sorry, arrest all these corrupt Liberals. Freeland you are a liar with your fake apology.

  10. Freeland & Trudeau will only “learn”how to cover their tracks better ,from this New Corrupt Scandal .
    The whole bunch are in on the WE fraud .Sorry doesn’t cut it anymore .

  11. When you determine the quality of those defending Trudeau , you realize that he is doomed , and rightfully so .
