In the least surprising news of the year, another Trudeau government cabinet minister has been found guilty of breaking ethics laws and using taxpayers money to enrich their friends. Minister of Small Business and International Trade Mary Ng gave $20k worth of taxpayer money to her close friend for “media training.” The ethics commissioner said “there’s no excuse” for this violation, but it looks like Ng won’t need one anyways.

This is the SIXTH time a member of the Trudeau government has been found guilty by the ethics commissioner for breaking the law. At what point do we just give up hoping that politicians will be honourable and instead admit that maybe they just don’t care?
