He wanted the vacations and believed it was better to beg forgiveness (shed a few crocodile tears perhaps) than to ask and be told no. You could almost hear the contempt in him when he said that he would ask permission for ANY vacation going forward essentially implying, how dare you challenge me. Next time my family goes anywhere no matter where it is even if we are paying for it I will make a point of asking permission. He should be forced to reimburse Canadians the full cost of both vacations billed to the Canadian taxpayers plus whatever the value of the Aga Khan's hospitality. He can easily afford it, if not Morneau can loan it to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having no experience w/ the private sector, he wouldn't know he shouldn't be accepting gifts. LOL Imagine if your company was seeking bids from vendors for new equipment & your boss found out you as a buyer accepted a family trip to Disney World from 1 of the bidders?

"Do as I say, not as I do" seems to have gotten repeated a few times since he was elected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 On Power Play last night, the invited Liberal MP was a no show. I imagine the back benchers aren't impressed w/ this result or his cringe-worthy response to Rosemary Barton's simple question. His drama skills failed him immensely on that 1.

I would be terminated without notice and escorted off the property. We had to watch a video and go through a powerpoint presentation annually on business ethics. You had to login to access the material. When you were done there was an online test that gave varying scenarios and asked what you would do to make sure you understood the content. The slightest suggestion of impropriety was investigated and dealt with promptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 And we rely on Trudopes common sense good judgement or lack of to run our country. If he can't get something that basic right how can we expect him to get the big stuff right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did Trudeau talk to Aga Khan in 30 years? Zero How many times did he go on vacations with Aga Khan in 30 years? Zero Becomes PM and first year big free vacation. Conflict and PM should have to payback Canadian Taxpayers the $215,000 it cost. That would eliminate future conflicts pretty quickly. That is why they didn't buy into to the "friend" thing SK like I said this foundation has been funded by Canada for decades, nothing changed with this trip to the Island.

Trudope's #1 priority in a TRADE agreement is getting foreign countries to align with HIS stance on gender and include that in a TRADE agreement. #2 priority is that foreign country changing their internal policies to align with what Trudope believes is right and #3 priority is the actual TRADE of goods, tariffs, import, export regulations etc. He is the messiah of mankind and it is his mandate to save the rest of the world from themselves.
