Uh oh, it's official. Justin Trudeau is officially the first PM to have been found in violation of conflict of interest laws.
I love his sham apology too. "Gosh Canada, I'm so sorry I knowingly and willingly violated conflict of interest laws."

Of course if he truly was sorry, he would have apologized before he was more or less forced to. Apologies don't mean shit when you've been dodging the issue for two years knowing goddam well you're guilty.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke multiple federal ethics rules when he accepted a ride on the Aga Khan’s private helicopter and stayed on his private island over the holidays in 2016, the ethics commissioner has ruled.

In a ruling posted on the website of the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Wednesday at noon, Mary Dawson said that her investigation into two complaints about the trip found that Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act when he and his family accepted the trip. But she also dismissed several of the specific violations brought within those complaints.

I can accept that trudOWE didn't know because he was born with a gold spoon in his mouth and doesn't know any better but his office staffs should have known. Then again when you hire based on gender, ethnicity,region instead of merit perhaps not.

If he has so much money why does he need to vacation for free with the Aga Khan ? Why did he need to charge charities and school boards for speechifying ? Maybe we dislike him because he has no morals .

So again, you'll excuse the first Canadian PM to be found in conflict of interest violations, to make a purely partisan, and grossly incorrect I might add, strawman about my political leanings.

Were you born stupid or did you suffer some form of brain damage at some point during your existence?

Your logic implies that anyone doing anything for a school board or a charity should do it for free.

Nice. Using false moral equivalencies in typical leftard fashion. What exactly about what Harper did constituted a breach of conflict of interest laws? You DO understand the difference right? And again you continue with your idiotic strawman by suggesting that I had no problem with Harper f*cking over our veterans.
Here's the difference, what Harper did was shitty and unforgivable. What Trudeau did was against the laws of govt. You know, the guy who campaigned on having an open, honest, transparent govt?

In regards to this new strawman of yours about my political leanings, here's a clue for ya you stupid f*ckwit. In 50 years, through all the federal and provincial elections I was eligible to vote in, I voted Conservative once in a provincial election and that was only because he was a fiscal conservative but not a social conservative.
If that makes me a righty, then you're so far out in leftard field that you're munching on ball park franks.
