September 11th election call

I am trying to figure out how that is remotely related to a groping, lying, idiotic, law breaking prime minister?

It’s not but dmlfarmer would like to change the channel when Skippy is in the limelight with his scandals, right out of the Liberal playbook.

Interesting to see how aggressive the RCMP get in these two obstruction of justice investigations with Trudeau.

All this talk about ethics, and yesterday global news revealed over the last 4 years 4.5 million of taxpayer dollars was spend by MPs for spouse air travel. 6 MPs spent over $100,000 for airline tickets for their spouses; 5 of whom are Conservative MPs. Only 1 ex-Liberal made the list - the hero of this forum: Jody Wilson Raybould. Eleven more MPs spent between 50,000 and 99,999 and of those 6 were Conservatives, 1 NDP, and just 4 Liberals. Ethics is not a new problem or just a Liberal problem. Jason Kenney when an MP once charged taxpayer's $6,000 to fly his mother from Calgary to Ottawa on this same program and is now Premier of Alberta.

Do you think maybe there is a connection between travel costs and distance to travel?? Gonna be cheaper for a liberal MP in Ontario to travel to Ottawa than someone from the other end of the country. Just saying maybe you need to look at the whole picture. All the examples in the image are AB and BC representatives.

It is cheaper to fly from Vancouver to Ottawa than from Saskatchewan, Manitoba or NFLD yet those provinces are not on the list. Airfare is based on competition and demand for seats, not just distance.

Second, Wilson-Raybould spent 3 times the amount that another cabinet minister from another Vancouver metro riding charged. So much for this being just a factor of distance.

And an NDP MP also from Vancouver area spent $0.00 of taxpayer money over the last 4 years on designated travel. So I put forward it is more the ethics of the person using/abusing the program than it is based on distance. I cannot agree with you more, we need to look at the whole picture and not just distance from Ottawa.

No, you are missing the point. This is what we end up with when we only demand accountability from one side. Cry all you want about Liberal ethics, the other parties are equally shameful and this was just the latest example. It is the reason why the west will never get respect because the Conservatives knows they have the west vote wrapped up so they do not have to do anything to earn the vote out west. Most western Canadians do not have a clue as to what the Conservative platform is, yet support Scheer (who??) simply because they want Trudeau out. Abuse of the system is always the result when you vote against something instead of for something.

Listen to shit heads speech it’s harpers fault. Duck I hate liberals

[Oliver88]

Sounds like Trudeau has made history blocking an RCMP investigation by calling an election.
He is also skipping the first political debate to avoid answering any questions.

Sounds like an innocent guy doesn’t he? 😂

I will go back to the Harper years....have a Prime Minister that showed up for work everyday on behalf of Canadians....and wasn't an embarrassment on the world stage...

man Trudeau stacked his cabinet with incompetents and went all in for quebec and now he is probably going to be charged after the election. What for? Or is there something deeper and darker being hidden.

thanks for making my point Bucket. You ignore that Harper was the only Canadian PM ever to be found in contempt of parliament - and not once but twice. You forgot about the numerous Senate scandals - Duffy, Wallan, Brazeau - all Harper appointees and the coverups his office attempted such as the Wright payment. Your forgot the In/Out election scandal or the G8 funding scandal. You forgot the lack of support he showed for veterans. It was his government's ignoring Canadian courts rulings regarding Khadar's rights that resulted in the the $10,000,000 payment to Khadar. And you always complain about the lack of transparency in grain pricing, that only got worse when they did an incomplete job of getting rid of the CWB.

No matter who is in government, unless they are held accountable by not only the opposition but by their supporters as well, they will fail ethically at some point in time. Simply showing up for work is not enough.
