Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he still has 'full confidence' in Finance Minister Bill Morneau, despite calls for his resignation and speculation his days in cabinet may be numbered.

SHARE

“Of course the Prime Minister has full confidence in Minister Morneau and any statement to the contrary is false,” said PMO spokesperson Alex Wellstead in a statement on Tuesday. Morneau has been keeping a low profile since his July 22 committee appearance in which he faced calls to resign after revealing he hadin outstanding expenses that the organization covered for two trips his family took in 2017, and that his wife has made $100,000 in donations to the organization in recent years.

“Unless Mr. Morneau decides he wants to leave the role or leave politics and take that responsibility for explaining it himself, it becomes very difficult to make that change right now,” said John Manley, who once held the dual role of deputy prime minister and finance minister under former prime minister Jean Chretien.

Opposition parties continue to push for more answers and have launched three separate committee probes, including asking for Trudeau family financial records related to past speaking engagements as well as what’s turned out to be more thanemails and other correspondence from cabinet ministers about the WE deal.

Today is Wednesday August 12, 2020 and Canadians have the most unethical and corrupt Prime Minister ever in Canadian history. The complete 29th ministry?

It takes two to tango. That's all i can say.

the Crimr Minister and his partner in crime “Moreau” the finance minister these 2 are like the mafia bosses.

GTH L I B E R A L C R I M I N A L S

Wow. A surprise announcement.😆 JT between puffs'Hey Bill, I need to can you & your chances of a big pension to show Canadians I stand for honest government' BM between cognacs 'No or I'll squeal like a pig & bring you down with me' JT 'Oh,OK my friend. No problem. Carry on then'

People hate Trump so much that Liberal misconduct will be overlooked rather than vote in a Conservative government. Just be honest.

That would be political suicide.

Might want to ask a few tax payers if they concur.

In each other’s pockets, mafia leaders of the liberal party

Love this photo. After all the evidence from the WE scandal puts these two good looking guys behind bars. Please show a picture of them if and when they get out to compare because I hear pretty boys do really good in the pen

Thick as thieves.

Fucking joke!

And yet another nail is driven into their coffin. This just helps to confirm what even Liberal die-harders are finally coming to realize - that the entire Liberal brand is contaminated beyond measure. Filled with lazy-ass thieves and incompetents.

A sense of entitlement. Morneau is welathy and an elected representative taking 40k in free trips. Its called corruption.

Of course he does.

CPC_HQ , AndrewScheer & all the CON supporters will be so disappointed their attempts to spread the rumour that the PM had lost confidence just didn't work. cdnpoli

These assholes ruined our great country.

This government is invalid

Of course he supports morneau. Evil always recognizes its own kind

Of course. Crooks stand by their own, right CanadianPM ?

Blackface has no other choice , if he fires Morneau then he must resign himself since he is even more corrupt

of course he does but both of these pedophiles are corrupt

Of course he does. They are the movie equivalent of George Clooney and Brad Pitt from Oceans Eleven.

Lol Bill_Morneau has the support of a man who thinks it’s ok to touch half naked underage girls. How lucky is he lol

Kiss of death.

Oh look, we're completely shocked! 🙃

Takes a crook to know a crook!

Lolz

He's already in phase 1 of his exit strategy. Like rats on a ship they will all leave until it's just Trudy and Freeland

Politicians always say they support one of theirs til they shank em

Is the PM actually working?

Well that isn’t surprising 🙄

JustinTrudeau needs to keep his friends around to plunder more from 🇨🇦. Always easier in groups...

I wish a nuke would wipe out the parliament building with all the liberals and ndp and green in it

corruption

Of course they suppport each other

The two most corrupt people in Canada.

Are they not both guilty?

He's the only one.

Cheater will always support other cheater

Why not. Their not the Conservative party

An idiot supporting an idiot.

Of course he does. He has no back bone. canpoli

Criminals

Of course why would he get rid of his right hand partner in crime. TrudeauCorruption

Ya but but your only one man..boy what ever.. we Canadians have something to say about it!! And I think there are more of us!!! your time is coming.. both of you!! Help vote these two OUT!!!! Because it’s the 11th hour and we hard working Canadians are getting tiered of you two!

I want Morneau removed. JustinTrudeau ctv removeMorneau

🤔🙄🤬

Dumb and Dumber

Why should he have to explain that? oh right.......an internet click-bait artist suggested that unnamed sources had something to say about this and naturally during a national emergency, media thought it would be a good idea for him to waste time on it.....cripes cdnpoli

I was really hoping the rumours about Mark Carney were true but that he was replacing Trudeau not Morneau I am no fan of neoliberalism but at least he wouldn’t tolerate the corruption that the Trudeau “Liberals” are subjecting Canadians to.

guessing that blew some media's minds topoli cdnpoli onpoli

Criminalz

AKA he's definitely resigning within a week.

Crooks supporting crooks. No surprise here.
