OTTAWA — Outgoing Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign over his role in the controversy involving the We organization.
Scheer has previously called for Finance Minister Bill Morneau to be fired for trips he and members of his family took in 2017, part of which were paid for by the WE organization.
Scheer now says members of the Liberal caucus who do not want to be seen as complicit should demand that their leader quit.
When asked if he would be willing to force an election over the issue in the minority Parliament, Scheer said such an opportunity will not come until the House of Commons resumes full business in September, which is why he says Trudeau and Morneau should leave now of their own accord.
He also says a decision about seeking to defeat the Liberal government on a confidence motion should be made by the next leader of the party after results of the Conservative leadership contest are announced in late August.
For any of you lib fans out there, turdeau is on his third ethics violation, he got caught trying to give a lucrative deal to his rich friends, that is our tax dollars he was giving away, for a program, in which there already was a student jobs program in existence for decades! I still cannot understand why people vote this corrupt, liar back into office, I really can’t. If you dont understand what is happening with all this WE scandal, I suggest you watch a few Pierre Pollieve videos!!!!
Lisa, You, or anyone, can find 100’s of WEB sites to support whatever view you hold. And you don’t have to look too hard. To form an intelligent opinnion try balancing your political point of views with videos supporting other Parties. Just saying
Get off the stage Scheer, you lost the election….just go away.
I agree Gerry, This man is a Lame Duck living for free is Stowaway collecting a huge salary and he is virtually irrelevant, by virtue of him resigning as leader of the conservatives. He should have had the decency of leaving the intern leadership to others.
Could we just get past Covid first before we worry about other stuff? Please!
Is he still blaming Harper?
Right Pat!
He should be in jail and Scheer needs to go back to his country
Concentrate on the virus. We can dump the PM later. He is done like toast anyways.
I hope he steps down and lets Chrystia take the reigns. I don’t see a better candidate in the opposition except maybe Jagmeet but I can’t see him winning
Good by to the pm traitor.
bye*
Scheer Should Take a Walk soon
Rosie Lokstet lucky for us he is but it’s most likely MacKay who is going to win. I’m not crazy about his policies and he has a better chance of winning than Scheer did.
This has nothing to do with Scheer, it’s about how many times the same PM can be caught breaching Canadian tax payers trust. It’s not even Liberal vs PC, it’s the continuous violation of Canadian ethics, it’s the third time.
This corrupt PM needs to be forced into a new election with by way of a non confidence vote.
Unfortunately Canadians would find a way to re elect him as a majority government SMH.
Are people actually not happy he called Trudeau out.
He stole money
Jeff Dupre exactly.
Rob Catling I sure hope there not bitching about stuff being stolen off there properties .
SMH
Jeff Dupre and Sheer is no better.
Lynnie Greco there all corrupt lol that’s why we’re gonna b a third world country soon
Jeff Dupre … Scheer is a grinning hypocrite.
David Root I thought he resigned why is he still the opposition he’s a shithead now could not win let the next guy or lady stand up and prove we need a new leader and it’s not sheer
David Root wring spelling for scheer
Justin Castro has apologized way too many times and he will keep doing it as long as no one can touch him
Good job Scheer
Trudeau is a slippery fish. He will come out of this scandal smelling like Roses
Hey Sheer don’t you have a plane to catch…….
Renaldo Taurozzi stealing 300000 for your mom and brother is quite a bit different
Scheer should resign over his scandal! Tit for tat big guy
There was no scandal and that issue had nothing to do with taxpayers money
Coming from Scheer, that’s really funny!
Sheer’s an idiot lol.
Ryan Boissineau so is Trudeau
Linda Moldovan ok boomer
Linda Moldovan Trudeau needs to go!
Linda your both right bad to worse back to bad and repeat… #canadianpolitics
Canada dodged a bullet last election. I must say I am a fan of Minority Parliaments and I am grateful to the NDP, Singh, and the Green Party, May, for cooperating with the Liberals on behalf of Canadians. A Scheer government would have defunded scientists, privatized public health services, cut back on university research, waged war on health care unions and doctors, and Canada would resemble the U.S. rather than Japan in COVID response.
Peter Rowe you really sound like a real epic moron
Peter Rowe well said and so true. Look at what conservative rule has done to America.
Most deaths from covid and riots occurred in Democrat controlled states and cities
i don’t disagree with a minority government but after so many scandals and mismanagement and x3 ethics breaches a no confidence vote should have been supported long ago.
I would prefer the present government concentrate on the pandemic. The last thing Canada needs is an election. We all make mistakes. Trudeau apologized, the contract was cancelled and rightly so. I have never been a fan of Morneau so I would be happy to see him go. But Freeland, Tam, countless others are doing a stellar job and this is important work made more difficult by so many substandard Premiers, Kenney and Legault being the worst by far.
Alrighty then, I am definitely NOT on the same page with all that, moving on.
Sheer shouldn’t talk…he used campaign funds for his kids private school tuition, a housekeeper and a minivan.
Scheer Nonsense
Sheerly he jests!!
I think Sheer was suppose to resign when they lost the election
Cindy Manitowabi me too. If someone less stilted, more uptodate, less bigoted were in his place, I wd be glad to hear their voice.
Can you show us proof of your claim that Mr Scheer is a bigot.
If not you should remove your post.
Dr Leslyn Lewis for CPC leader!! #LL4PM
Cindy Manitowabi I hope they both screw off!!!
He did. They are in the process of selecting a new leader.
I wonder what sheer would do if it was him he is no angel no politicn is any different they all try to see what they can get away with and I am sure HE isnt a y different from previous politicns
How can he expect people not to fraud the government when he’s the biggest fraud out there and won’t admit it.
We can’t function as a country like this.
Hes got to go.
No one wants to hear yr voice sheer
A whole lot of fuss about nothing. What a giant waste of time.
Too stupid to realize the embarrassment that he is
Shut up Sheer!
he should move back ot the states
Sheer is supposed to be outgoing? Then shut up and get out
Scheer is gonna be gone for being trash too. Thought liberals were about accountability and transparency. Or does that only apply to everyone else.
Susan Rajamaki please tell me you are not behind the liberals on this
Martin Verdecchia I feel they need to be accountable on this! BUT I do not feel Sheer is the one to call them out…he is only there because not stepped down to the world situation with COVID-19
The sad thing is he’s the only one calling it out, if you turn a blind eye to crap like this does it ever end?
Susan Rajamaki he stepped down after the election because it is usually what happens when you lose ,it it’s his position till his replacement takes over next month
