WE Charity ethics investigation clears Trudeau, but not Morneau

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not break federal ethics rules in his handling of the now-cancelled WE Charity contract, but the former finance minister Bill Morneau did, according to a report issued by federal ethics commissioner Mario Dion.

The reports mark the third time Trudeau has been investigated for accusations of breaking federal ethics rules since becoming prime minister in 2015 and the second time for Morneau, who quit federal politics last year.

But as David Akin explains, despite the ruling, federal opposition leaders still appear to be planning to make it another ethics failure for the prime minister.

is there a committee to investigate the Ethics of the Ethics Commission?

[imnotyourbuddyguy]

Of course the PM is going to getaway.. he is just throwing his buddy under the bus...


The Justice system is useless... equal application of law is meaningless.

Morneau is probably laughing and counting his "you take the fall for this" money.

[IAMAPIRL]

so morneau is just trudeau's scapgoat

The Ethics Commissionaire should be a private citizen out of the reach of any political party to be independent and viewed as statistically

What a joke the Canadian government is. Time to learn about Algernon Sidney and how to run a country.

[denisethomson]

This is a load of crap if I've ever heard one.

[easternsaxon]

I’m sure Dion is getting a big fat bonus for this.

[streamingnowstreamingnow]

I don’t feel bad about Breaking the Law anymore.

I see the CBC comment section is turned off on this scandal. Way to go CBC, your time is just about up.

[jimcurrie]

This blatant bias towards the Laurention Elite is precisely why I am now a member of the Maverick Party.

[bbaa]

I guess he gets away again from his scandals and corruption

When you tie your shoes, IS one foot not connected to the other?
How can you not tie your shoes and walk without the other not knowing ?

When you are part of the same organization, How can you not know of the others intent?

[TY.Gaming]

So tired of him getting away with everything. How can anyone in Canada continue to support him?

[bobbydaniel]

When declining your ballot it should be recorded as you not having confidence or representation in the parties running.

[davidbrennan]

Trudeau was cleared? That is a shocker.

[areyoukidding]

How can they find Trudeau not guilty but charge Moreau? This whole thing is so crooked! 👎🏼. Where’s Pierre these days? The honest ones get kicked out!
