Indeed, this Jamaican misadventure is much more similar to the Bahamian misadventure than it is different.
There’s the same total lack of interest in transparency. I say the Greens of Ocho Rios “apparently” paid for the Trudeaus’ accommodations because Trudeau refused to say one way or the other — which is as good as saying the Greens paid for it, only while raising a giant middle finger to everyone reasonably asking about it.
There’s the unapologetic decadence. I continue to insist, quixotically, that a prime minister who’s as concerned about climate change as Trudeau claims to be would attempt at least now and again to model the sorts of behaviour he claims the rest of us need to adopt: Go to Mont-Tremblant instead of Tofino, say. Fly commercial on vacation, as British prime ministers often do. Have a Staycation at Harrington Lake, maybe — they won’t always have unfettered access to it, after all! But no. Never.
And there’s the perceived conflict of interest — which savvy politicians realize is just as bad as “real” conflict of interest. So far as we know, unlike the Aga Khan Foundation, the Greens and any associated entities do not lobby the federal government for funding.
Clearly Trudeau still has some Teflon left on him, or he wouldn’t have the job and the polling numbers he enjoys to this day. It might well win another election campaign, for all we know now. Either way, historians will have to grapple with why Trudeau and his advisers seemed so determined to make his tenure as short and greasy as possible. If Trudeau had just paid for the stupid villa, which he could clearly afford, there would be no issue here at all.
He is not held accountable RCMP won’t do anything, can’t remove him from officer, GG won’t do anything this guy is untouchable.
Canadian politics has become a sick reality show - just like the US. I strongly suggest people let politics become boring again and vote for proven business leaders to manage our country, no matter what they look like, or what socks they wear…
A slap on the wrist.
American Hedge Fund Rag..only folks that read and believe the junk news you print are the convoy nitwit, ivermectin suckers, conspiracy theory nutters..
I think he learned that he can get away with breaking rules and distorting facts.
Anyone called Trudeau is incapable of learning anything
He’s learned that no matter what he does all Postmedia propaganda mouthpieces will rage about it NeverVoteConservative
66__Parisienne NATIONAL DIGGRACE ALERT! Just more whining and crying from the CORPORATE OWNED YES MEN AT CORPORATE AMERICAN OWNED CONservative media! Once a beacon of CANADIAN media, NOW a shadow of itself and just another piece of supermarket tabloid trash!
Trudeau knew he would face political backlash. He works hard and felt he owed his family, who he often doesn't see because of work, a vacation. He can't go to Joe's Budget Hotel. If Canadians choose to toss him because they begrudge him this, we deserve what we will get.
The only thing that Trudeau does well is freeloading. He maintains a lifestyle, that most of us of can only dream of, at other people’s expense, including ours (taxpayers).
My question to cselley and others is who else is visiting these resort villas at the same time as Trudeau? These exclusively private places seem perfect to have soirées with his more politically disadvantageous friends.
Trudeau is nothing but a very expensive welfare case for Canada.
SmileAllthetim4 I disagree! They learned that there are never any consequences and they can always count on most of the Liberal subsidized media to still support them.
I really don't care if Trudeau has rich friends. Most Canadians don't either. It costs money to secure and protect and secure the PM and family wherever they choose to go. That's an obligation that comes with the office, not the person.
kinsellawarren they dont care ..they think ethics office a big joke ...and so rest of his ministers do same
rexglacer Untrue. They learned they can get away with it.
Why would he? There aren’t consequences. Ethics are lost in Canadian politics. They are bought and sold by big business. You should realize that normal people don’t matter.
American-owned. Right-wing owned. Of course, Shelly has an agenda. Has to follow what his bosses demand.
It’s not that Trudeau hasn’t learned. He just doesn’t care.
Arrogance does that
They just don’t care imho
Trudeau is a slow learner and most. Don't care..
Rich little bastards never learn. Just look at DannyBriere48 son... all he had to do was apologize and buy that girl a new wheel chair and it would have been swept under the rug. Rich little cunts don't learn. They're different.
suzannealma Besides no moral rudder Trudeau is fast becoming Canada's Trump
Our Justin, who art in heaven….
They learned they can get away with it as a majority government. Now they can get away with it because Singh is as corrupt as Trudeau.
IRGC deal signed is there?
He has no moral compass or shame. He’s entitled.
Can anyone explain how permitting Trudeau to stay at a commercial resort for “free” is anything but a donation in kind? It’s not like he stayed at his alleged friend’s house or on his yacht. Was his family friend even staying at the same resort? cdnpoli
The ones missing the lesson is actually the public.
No, Postmedia hasn’t learned.
Why would they? Daily scandals, corruption, lies and cover-ups and this criminal still holds steady at 30% in the polls. So there’s never any consequences. They don’t even bother hiding it anymore.
kinsellawarren I have the feeling that he received proper advice but he disregards it because he’s so special
Yes they have! You get your self ethic commissioners like solo cups. When you need to, you throw them out and grab a new one.
As there is no accountability, no honour and no consequences whatsoever for Crimes of High Treason : “Team Trudeau” does not need to learn anything, just deny everything and move on down Teflon avenue, unchecked and unchallenged. It’s a disaster that will need to be removed.
But didn’t Justin Trudeau “reorder his thoughts”? cdnpoli
Narcissists don’t learn.
Trudeau has always been an entitled corrupt arrogant prick!!!!
dr. tam's husband received 270 million for the digital I.D. program which was supposed to be the plan for all Canadians and failed. They can't hide this scandal forever! MSM NEEDS TO DO REAL JOURNALISIM
🚩🚩🚩National Post = FOX News North 🚩🚩🚩
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸National Post = American GOP tripe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trudeau hasn’t learned anything since grade school
They learned they're allowed to repeatedly break the law and violate their own citizens rights and journalists and his cult followers will continue to literally worship the man.
Why would they change if their Liberal voters don't care?
Murdog1 He doesn’t care. He gets away with it over and over!
Repuglicans want you to know! 🤦♀️
Liberals, by whatever name they are called (Liberal, Democrat, Labour, whatever) rarely learn from their mistakes. That's why they keep making the same mistakes over and over.
PEDOPHILES
Horseshit
Why does Chris never write about the horrendous corruption of the Ford Conservative government? The PM cleared the trip through the Ethics experts. We see how fabricating scandals is the easy journalism work rather than working on real scandals.
Press still ignoring developers giving cash to ford through daughter's party
He has great and I mean Great philanthropic friends. There are Aga Khan hospitals and schools the world over. You need to stop maligning people who are making extraordinary contributions in Canada. Your behaviour is despicable.
Start scrutinizing the antics of Con premiers and your message might have some credibility.
Of course they learned. They learned that Canada no longer values conscientious, truthful leaders. It’s all about us vs them power struggle now. Such a sad ending for a once-great nation.
Oh, they have, they simply don't care what anyone thinks.
marioyvesdion cdnpoli
You might have made your point if you pointed out how Doug Ford and Danielle Smith have learned from that Aga Khan scandal. Neither of the Premiers gives a damn about optics, does what they want. A standard applies to all, and isn't meant for one party to follow
JustinTrudeau is thumbing his nose at Cdns. That's pretty obvious.
It is worse than that, he doesn’t care because there are never any consequences.
They absolutely did learn. They learned that there's no such thing as accountability.
Except how Canadians keep forgetting his scandalous ways.
rexglacer None do...they are owned...
