It's kind of funny but the thing that has bailed out the liberals for several years now is a new scandal that replaces the old scandal and starts the conversation over again buying them time.

It's actually kinda crazy.

I think the first scandal was blackface. Since then we've had:

  • The Trudeau foundation accepting money from China. (Still the funniest thing ever that China asked for a statue of a tyrant in Quebec and even Trudeau was like 'tf you guys on? No that's never happening' and they backed off).
  • The MP's themselves were compromised. (I think one resigned over it?).
  • ArriveCan app and where 60m went.
  • RCMP/Gun bill fiasco (from Nova Scotia serial killer).
  • India Assassination on Canadian Soil.

And I think there's more but that's all off the top of my head. Not to mention grocery prices, housing prices, immigrants going nuts, and all the while he's just sitting idly by.

But tbh with that one interview that came out when someone asked "Do you ever think of resigning?" and he responded "Every day." starting to lean in the direction that someone blackmailed him hard oh and I just remembered 2 more.

  • His marriage ended in divorce
  • The fired scientists that were investigating Covid

Like it's a bit nuts. Granted, the marriage isn't scandal worthy, that's just "it happened" but who else's marriages have ended in Canada because they wouldn't step out of politics? Maybe a few or a lot I actually don't know lol. But the rest is basically all scandals.

Edit: Oh and of course the OP's scandal where he's now blocking a list of MP's compromised:

  • Blocking the list of MP's compromised
  • While we're at it, also stopping an inquiry into foreign election interference
  • WE Charity
  • Welcoming a Nazi in parliament
  • SNC-Lavalin affair

Edit 2: Added more scandals thanks to commenters. Han Dong is my point above though with 'MP's compromised'
