He's got his family's money & the missus is a McCain. JT & Morneau have no idea of what it's like to be middle class. He and Trudope keep telling everyone how in touch they are with the average Canadian yet Morneau gets $146,000.00 a month from the family trust.

Lots of politicians around the world have dealt with death & tragedy over the years, but did they cry about it? Seeing as he's been on 60 Minutes & Live With Kelly, when is he doing a cameo on the Y & R? C'mon now... be fair Harper did one on Corner Gas... at least that's a Canadian show though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is making that kind of coin, then that must make him a very good business man - something you guys claim can run any country ARe you saying you are WRONG with that assumption?

Lol. He owns over 2 million shares of Morneau Shepell out of a private numbered corp in Alberta. MS pays out a dividend of 6.5 cents per share or about 140K per month. It is this private corp structure or loophole that did not technically put him in a conflict of interest. The public is not impressed. He was born into massive wealth, we don't need silver spooners running the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just a middle class guy - ain’t no fortunes here. And what I end up with won’t change the fact my kids will have to work for what they want. It won’t be given to them.

If he drops the ball on school, chores or his behaviour he’s done I was never a Rob Ford fan. The guy was a clown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjusted net earnings available to common shareholders of the Company in the first quarter of 2017 were $364 million ($0.90 per common share), an increase of $26 million ($0.08 per common share) compared to the first quarter of 2016, due to the improvements in underlying operating performance and the favourable impact of the repurchase of common shares, as described above.

No different than people think Stanfield wouldn't make a good PM because he fumbled the football. Or is that before your time? Maybe if he HAD caught the ball, PET would've been a footnote in Canadian political history.

I remember reading a blurb on one of the McCains and how they had a tax free dividend of 4.5 million per year and was perplexed on how they managed that.
