Justin Trudeau's Oops I Did It Again

Oops, I did it again Justin Trudeau got his knuckles rapped this time by Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson for accepting a vacation at the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas and likely with the knowledge the Aga Khan was lobbying the government for one of his causes. The trip was not without cost to Canadians as transportation and staffing costs were reported at $215,000. There’s no confirmation if that included security costs.

Although few Canadians will object to the prime minister having a holiday with his family they do expect him to be getting good advice on potentially controversial decisions. If he is getting poor advice, he needs new advisors. Trudeau should have known that his little Bahamas junket would eventually become another tick mark in the poor decisions column.
