Ethics commissioner won't say what he advised PM on Jamaica trip, but says no investigation expected
Konrad von Finckenstein said his advice to public office holders is always followed
“While the act speaks of advice, the advice we are giving is tantamount to a ruling. Public office holders have always accepted our advice,” he told MPs on the House of Commons ethics committee. “Advice is given to ensure public office holders are in compliance with the Act. If they do not follow the advice, then the recourse is an investigation.”
He said if the trip had been deemed improper the prime minister would have been required to disclose the trip publicly.
“As far as I am concerned there is nothing further.”
MPs can not accept gifts if they could reasonably be seen as offering influence, but there is an exemption for friends and family.
The resort Trudeau stayed at is owned by Peter Green, who has been a friend of the Trudeau family for decades,. Von Finckenstein said claims of friendship are looked into and he had no reason to doubt this one.
“This is a true friend who has no relations with the Government of Canada.”
As the National Post previously reported, Green’s sons, Alexander and Andrew, sponsored a scholarship, dedicated to their late mother Mary-Jean, on behalf of the Trudeau Foundation in 2021. Green has also previously donated to the Trudeau Foundation.

now they are complaining that the free legal drugs arent strong enough
Around here the homeless druggees use their free food card to buy cases of bottle water, then they dump out the bottled water in the parking lot and get 10 cent deposit per bottle back from the store. Apparently 50 bottled waters can get enough fent for one day worth of high.
So now I see fools pouring out water all around the town. Shit is crazy.

Master arsonist there.
i would say it was an indian but he had no idea how to open up a jerry can
Arson penalties should be very harsh if they aren't, even without any casualties.
There are some crimes (arson, rape) where the harshest sentences are still like, "What? That's all you get for that?"
