When are we going to see prison sentences. Canadians are sick of it.

Ok mary

Terribly

So what is new never will change unless a career loss happens its to common now

Violations of ethics should be mandatory resignation and fines of no less then 100,000.00 plush loss of a minimum for the term’s pension. This is bull crap how many times has this happened and nothing but an apology!? Fire anyone that pulls this crap Liberal pass once again!

Follow the leader! This PM Blackface government is so corrupt and incompetent but does an excellent job at rewarding their friends like the CBC and Amanda !!!!

Not even when their corruption is exposed do these people care.

Golly gee...an apology!! bigwhoop Get her away from our money and entitlements!!! fireher JustinTrudeau cafreeland stuwils99554073 FreedomIsPower8 defundCBC

Pretty sure if any Canadian who wasn’t a politician violated an ethics and morality clauses at their place of employment, they would lose their job

Why is there only a $200 fine and why is there no accountability ..she should resign period .

The Trudeau regime is one of the most corrupt governments in Canadian history. Always in constant scandal

Apologies accepted. Everything's fine now.🤣

Hey CBC, doesn't Amanda Alvaro take taxpayer money to appear on your show Power & Politics? You guys are culpable too.

Canana Republic. 2019 Reverse Repo Market was a quiet bailout of our Banks. Covidia was liquidity operation.

The Liberals do this all the time. Especially the PM. Got caught this time.

Just more Trudeau regime corruption 🤷‍♂️ DefundCBC TrudeauMustGo

Typical liberal response n I am sorry, I didn't know.

from top to bottom, every one from liberal does the same thing… they don’t care about ethics, they care about staying in power so they can do it again and again

Fire her. Bub-bye

Apology not accepted, please resign. Take PM JT with you.

The Trudeau Liberal Government is Corrupt to the Core! This is just one more example of the nepotism, cronyism and outright fraud committed by the Liberals every day!

This misiter knew well what she was doing but her corrupter boss Justin Pinocchio Trudo is broken so many conflict of interest stole so much money & lies so much they all could do the same and get away with it. It’s time the country wakes up to these crimes & send en to prision

More Liberal Corruption ! What a shocker ! Now watch CBC work overtime to cover it all up ! DefundCBC

Apologized because she got caught. Suggest a deep dive in her campaign financing.

Apology not accepted. At that level you know better. She took a risk hoping not to get caught.

She did it on purpose. She knew it was going to be in conflict. She chose to do it anyway. An apology doesn't cut it.

And people wonder why we are losing faith in our leaders!

This is the problem our politicians are on touchable, oops I got caught I'm sorry then move on this is starting to be a trend liberal government

Its really funny Canadians cant talk about this story without massive censorship on the CBC website. Not surprised given Amanda Alvaro (the person who received the contract) is a paid employee of the CBC as a Political Commentator.

It's ok, she's a liberal

Another skidmark in the Prime Minister's dirty underwear

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🤮🤮🤮🤮🖕

Liberals have no ethics. She learned from trudeau.

The only thing she’s sorry for is getting caught. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder LiberalCorruption LiberalLies

Is there any Mafia anymore or is all organized crime taken over by the Liberal Party of Canada LiberalCorruption TrudeauCorruption

Hark.....is that more corruption I see

Fire her

CBC favorite liberal panelist

She needs to resign! I'm sick of the corruption in the Liberal party. Scandal after Scandal! They're all liars! DefundCBC TrudeauCorruption TrudeauIsAPsychopath TrudeauLiedUnderOath TrudeauMustGo

An apology is the first step . Second should be tendering a resignation. We have lost faith in our politicians

Here's an Apology for her Sorry you broke the Ethic Laws .... YOU'RE FIRED WITH NO PENSION

It’s wasn’t an “ oversight “ on her part, it was Liberal arrogance…..that, IDGAF what the rest of Canada thinks, attitude.

How about you're fired? Who the f wants apologies? Are we in grade 3?

Should be fired!

Chances of this being one of the ministers who accepted funding/bribes from China? 99%

Oh, that’s nice of her. What a nice lady. So she gets to keep all the money she stole? Will she also get a promotion?

Liberals have repeatedly been giving contacts to friends. When is this corrupt govt going to get booted out!

Imagine, another liberal scandal. Who would have guessed. But, the triple mask wearers, alone outside will vote for them no matter what.

Fire her. Corrupt Chinese.woman

Why worry, nothing will happen

Fired! How can she honestly stand there and say she wasn’t aware..

Ahhhhh NOPE. Should be fired. Can’t have someone blatantly dishonest with OUR money in control of it. She should be out of a job and charged.

JustinTrudeau does this every day.

I guess she doesn't want the Speaker's job. The tunagate guy resigned from the cabinet sat in the back bench aka penalty box. Johnny promised to be good and he became Mr. Distinguished Speaker.

Hand in the fortune cookie jar?

Don’t apologize, resign. 🤨

Oh well another apology

Apologized!!! WTF good is that.

Oh thats ok. JT does it all the time. Your good.....

I would not be surprise if more than half of our pib is spend recklessly and a total lost

Mary Chretien

Excuse my corruption. Ill do better next time.

That's great now do Freeland. FreelandMustGo WEFpuppets

As if this don’t happen all the time

Because governments never enrich their friends.... Right?... The corruption is just off the charts. rcmpgrcpolice Keep doing nothing... Pathetic.

Will she step down?

She not apologizing for breaking the rules, she’s apologizing because she got caught! Fire her!

Apologizes after getting caught, with no consequences. Canada's government is completely corrupt.

Now resign . A shameful act .

Criminals need to apologize for their crimes because they are just putting food on the table and not suffer any consequences for their actions!!!

Always apologizing for getting caught. Normal liberal behaviour!!! No remorse, no intelligence, no lessons learned. Just repeat and apologize when caught!!!!

Don't we call it corruption in other word?

She should step down

I will read down in comments to see how left wingers explain this away. In the private sector this Minister would be fired upon being found guilty of conflict of interest.

Funny how you don’t point out what party she belongs to… do the billions in funding determine this?

Fire her

So she broke the law, gave $1,000’s to a friend and you guys wouldn’t stop over a $16 glass of orange juice. What am I missing here? TrudeauCorruption propagandists DefundCBC

This person is devoid of ethics and should be shunned by Canadians !In an ethical government she would be relegated to the back benches until she developed the good judgment to quit!

Gee isn't that Alvaro often an analyst on CBC and portrayed as 'independent'. CBC risks becoming the mouthpiece of the Liberal Party if it does not add conservative voices.

Fire Her!!

Apologies don’t cut it. Resign

She needs to step down.

She got caught. RESIGN!!!

What are the consequences?

cndpoli Canada HongKong

fire her ass

Any comment on TrudeauCorruption people MarkGerretsen amandaalvaro atRachelGilmore Asking for a friend 🤷🏽‍♂️ TrudeauMustGo DefundCBC

What?! Corruption in Canadistan?! no way!

Fire her ass

The standard of no ethics was set and reset repeatedly by JustinTrudeau . When you have no moral compass, no leader to hold you accountable, and fall for greed for personal gain, there are no boundaries.

Not good enough you crooked liberal. Resign

So you can gift your friends millions of tax dollars and all you have to do is apologize? Seems like a good fair system

of scandals Trudeau's had should be a crime. Looks like he's still exploiting female cabinet members She's in this position because she will give their friends contracts. It shows the liberals lack of integrity and ability to be responsible ambassadors for the Canadian public

No anger... no distain in the story from CBC? Almost like they are writing a story about a loved one... So corrupt.

This would warrant more than an apology for any other government except this routinely corrupt liberal party

sorrynotsorry LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

Zero fallout to follow.

. . .and now you resign Madam!

At this point, any liberal_party member that doesn't have an ethics conflict is probably feeling really left out.

Is this another case like Trudeau.

'I slept with your spouse, but I do that kind thing all the time, so I only have to be a little bit sorry. Sorry. We good now?''

She should RESIGN, and PAY BACK the Money. Of course Trudeau ignored Pierre's question. When has Trudeau ever answered a simple question, without umms, ahhh, uhhhs and and and lies?

They are always apologetic when they get caught very well knowing there are no consequences unless you are the one reporting it to officials.

Resign. Zero integrity.

Apology no accepted. That peoplekind mary_ng should resign or be fired

Liberals liberaling

She needs to resign

Ng should be fired... Not that many years ago a Conservative MP resigned over a $16 glass of orange juice.

Ge ya think? Now RESIGN.

No one wants her apology, she's not sorry she did it. She's sorry she got caught, she needs to resign immediately.

She needs to resign.

I don’t accept ur apology

Your apology is as empty as the space between your ears. Step down and leave. We, the Canadian taxpayer, do not wish to have you on our payroll and do not wish you to represent us on any matter. You have no gratitude, no respect and no class.

Holy corruption thy name is LIBERAL

Higher standards for public officials, Buh bye !

Par for the course with this corrupt government.

Apologize Just leave … close the dore from behind

Why are these crooks not in jail? An apology? LMAO 🤡

The public has rewarded the Liberals with election wins after corruption scandals. So why should they change anything now.

Resign!

She should resign but under Trudeau she is probably their most ethical minister

Should be fired

Immediately remove this person

TonyLam54 Just another regular day for the Trudeau Government.

Trudeaumustgo Just another Liberal, with typical liberal mindset asking what the country can do for me. Ho hum, just another day paying taxes in Canada.

How many friends of Liberals are richer after the pandemic?

Fire her...so tired of their apologies...you are unbecoming of a minister...what a sick government we have

She knew exactly what she was doing was wrong but just didn’t care. She also knew there wouldn’t be any consequences. Sadly this is our government today! No ethics or morals. They laugh behind the scenes and at the taxpayers. And people continue to vote for this. JustinTrudeau

The Liberal cult are strangely silent. They usually have no problem defending the indefensible 😏 We need to stop these Liberals from continually disrespecting hard working tax paying Canadians

Resign

Typical MO FOR the Liberals..TAKE CARE OF YOIR FRIENDS FIRST AND let God take care of the rest as long as the Liberals do not have to provide any funds...AND WE PUT THESE A$$ HOLES IN POWER.. .WE NEED TO DO BETTER PEOPLE!!!!

Remember when Trudeau demanded a CPC Minister resign over $16 OJ. Of course he won't ask NG to resign because Trudeau has zero integrity.

She MUST resign!!!! Unbelievable how unethical all these liberals are !!! Seems like there is not even one with some integrity!!! She MUST resign !!!’

Her friends 😏😏😏 … aka the Chinese communist party.

Ya she’s sorry she got caught.

I am shocked 😳 !!! Liberals doing corruption !!!! OMG … who would have thought 🧐 ….

Typical Liberal B.S.

Resign immediately!!!

Typical corrupt liberal again

Conflicts of interest to benefit friends…she sounds like a stereotypical Trudeau acolyte.

Nice fluffy headline, can you imagine if this was a conservative who did this how different it would read.

Ho hum, just a regular thing with Justdumb’s govt. Remember how he was SO outraged with Harper’s govt’t?

Integrity = resignation

Resignations are in order. Yes? Or has the cdnmedia become inure to liberal corruption? cdnpoli

Nothing burger

No big surprise. Liberals look after Liberals until caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.

Yet ANOTHER Liberal learning moment.

And the hits keep on coming. There is so much ammo for the next election. The Liberals really shouldn't have made it so easy to make my choice at the ballot box, but I guess corrupt politicians can't help themselves, right, Justin?

Maybe she's related time Ford ? 🤔

WTF. Your fired!

Shocking

She plans on keeping her job. Liberals and those who vote for them really are scum.

But…but…but Doug Ford has done it since his inauguration as Ontario Premier.

Apologize No. Step down. JustinTrudeau she needs to go.

She's only sorry because she got caught. She should resign.

Nope. She needs to go.

She needs to resign

What's the use of an apology, she should resign.

Apologizes publicly, but in private patted on the back for lining the pockets of a liberal insider?

Well. Okay. Just don't do it again. Last thing we want is Poilievre elected PM in the spring.

Gertrud29409036 'Sorry' 🤡🎉

$16 dollar orange juice? c.c. JustinTrudeau and CanadianPM cafreeland

Should be fired immediately. Set the precedent and others will quickly smarten up. Politicians forget that they were elected by the people.

Yup do something unethical or even illegal get caught apologize everything is forgiven… repeat on to the next unethical thing

👎

This should be a criminal offense with jail time

Step down.

Big shocker

What do you expect when her boss can't be accountable either

Its a Liberal thing, wide spread. No idea why it matters now. Trudeau holds the record for Ethic convictions. Yet, Canadian Liberals re elected him. NDP joined them. Nothing will become of it. Canada is a corrupt country with a corrupt media and a corrupt government. Sad.

She needs to be fired and the contract nullified.

How many “conflicts of interest” were there by the Liberals under cover of the pandemic?

An apology? Should be FIRED !!

Sorry I got caught... Fixed it for ya.

Lol! Like this is anything new 🤷‍♀️

joecanadian9991 But her friend still got paid…

Apologized. That’s it? How about YOUR FIRED!

FIRED!!!

“Placed” herself in a conflict of interest ?!!!! 🤣 give us a break

Seriously ? Just apologies when she knew full well it is wrong ?

No no time to go

Corruption is deep in this liberal cabinet, its pretty crazy 🤪 😜

Wow shocking thats all they do!

'Sorry!' Liberals being liberal with other Liberals

Following in Justin's footsteps in the ethics department?

step down

Ppl will not care, she apologized so its going to be cool now!!

'the Conflict of Interest Act does not provide for any sanctions for contraventions found following an examination' They should change that.

A liberal MP with ethics violations? Unheard-of!

Well as long as she’s sorry. Wonder what her cut was.

Funny, when you break the law as a politician, you can just apologize and walk away, but steal food because you can't afford to eat because of these same politicians, you go straight to jail!

Nothing to see here. If you think liberals are corrupt you’re a nazi and a homophobe and a trump supporter who doesn’t believe in science. So ya. Look the other way folks. It’s safer for you.

Another liberal_party caught being unethical with insider contracts. CBC doesn't attack. They say she 'apologized'... now everyone move along, nothing to see here.

I thought she was like Turdeau... I thought she had no friends.

Hey JustinTrudeau is this as bad as a $8 orange juice? Bev resigned for this and her other transgressions.

Corruption runs very deep in the Liberal party. The sense of entitlement seems to be growing.

She should apologize to all the firms who were not able to do business with her office, since they were disqualified based on Ms. Ng’s personal relationships and not necessarily cost or merit.

More Liberal party Scandal!

They're small contracts. That's why this happens. Bigger contracts go through a proper procurement process w an envelope system, these small ones are more 'informal' and the process is weak. Absolutely no excuse, and a slap in the face to the integrity of government. 👎🏼

An apology isn't enough! Do the right thing, step down.

Another Liberal scandal

What a joke, they knew the rules when they were an intern, have one gram of morals and step aside

She should be fired

She was well aware of what she was doing. She just didn't think it would get noticed. And only then does she apologize. Typical corrupt liberal
