    1. @king james488 Yep they do. It’s the greatest game on the planet……that is if you are immoral enough to engage in it.

  1. Mourneau is Trudeau’s Fall Guy, I wonder what under the table deal was made. Trudeau no doubts he thinks this will resolve him of WE. Force an election

    1. @Slammer What a difference a day makes!!! TODAY Trudeau has prorogued the gov’t. which completely shuts down the 3 investigations into the WE scandal.

    2. Sometimes the best deal you can take is to cut your losses and hope that’s enough to stop the investigations. Hes too rich to risk clinging on for the pensions etc if it keeps him in the crosshairs

    3. Pierre has called out the blood hounds & he is the Leader .Both Morneau & Trudeau will be gone in the Near future !

  2. Trudeau to Morneau: Thanks for signing all those blank checks for me. Don’t worry about Bill, he we be given a six figure job cause even millionaires need an guaranteed income! What a bunch of crooks!

    1. Trudeau should at the very least resign but investigated because his bumbling is either him being a moron or he is a crook.

  3. You think the finance minister would know about his own finances .. unless he was lying , wait no liberals would never do that 😂

    1. come now….we have to be ”fair”……they’re mentally challenged, deeply corrupt and have zero interest in the law…..thus clearly they deserve everyoine to go easy on them 🙂

    1. All joking aside …… treasonous actions like Trudeau’s 100 years ago would have resulted in his execution
      Too bad to many bleeding hearts

  4. So Morneau resigns for doing far less in this scandal than Trudeau.
    Morneau absolutely should have been fired or resign……..now we wait for Trudeau….
    Does he have even an ounce of class or will he just do what he has done before? Let others take the fall and not take any accountability?? Take your pick fool…either way you are gone.

  5. The PM is on vacation as always. Both are connected to all the scandals and ethics violations. Nice spin tactics

  6. Typical trudeau, throw someone else under the bus and hope he gets away with his criminal activities again.

    1. Wone Motie that’s exactly what’s happening. Misdirection. “LOOK WE GOT THE BAD GUY”. Hey don’t look behind the curtain the bad guy is over here served up hot.

  7. trudeau is the one responsible for out of control liberal spending, and, the majority of the corruption. what else would you expect from a failed drama teacher, someone who has never done an honest days’ work, in their entire lives?

    1. True, but Morneau is also culpable: Mr big smartypants finance minister who couldn’t stand up to even a child. Martin stood up to Chretien ad stayed on. Martin had guts – Morneau: Zee-ro.

  8. Liberals are in politics for the convenience and easy money. It they actually have to start working honestly for a living, they’re out’a there…

    1. conservatives are in politics to get pensions and complain they can’t do anything because of the liberals…

  9. At the 6 minute mark “You carried Canada through the economic recovery…” Uhuh, I’ll call BS on that thank you very much.

    1. Are you sure its B.S. I think your dead wrong in calling this B.S.
      ………..the correct response should have been ” delusional” ……as 52% of the Country is .
      No worries though Justin will up the tax on his POT smoker voters and lose them next election …yeaaaa Justin!!!!!

  10. Any elected official that steals and LIES should see the guillotine, That would set an EXAMPLE!
    Our leaders would be honest then.

    1. He should have just stuck to leading the homosexual parades about the only thing he has done that was not a total fudge up

    1. But she’s dangerously trendy. Her grandfather was a Na$i propagandist. Who knew?? Many knew. Shame.

    2. @Itsa Dependu That’s why she got the ministerial nod…and Too-dumb bought that “rare” Nazzee book for $6K last year from taxpayer $$.
