Morneau, who has held the post for five years, announced his resignation Monday evening in a press conference from Ottawa. He will give up both his cabinet role and his seat as member of Parliament for Toronto Centre.
Morneau denied he was asked to quit and said that he had come to the conclusion he wasn’t the “most appropriate person” for the job of finance minister. Reports have swirled that Trudeau and Morneau were at odds over the charity scandal, environmental initiatives, and pandemic relief spending. Morneau has been in the crosshairs of opposition parties since the WE Charity scandal broke last month.
Morneau said he made an “error” and intended to cover the cost of the trips. He then cut a cheque for $41,000.
When will Pierre poilievre resign?
Your not off the hook yet ol Billy Bill_Morneau you still have to pay for your high crimes with the rest of your crime team and mob boss JustinTrudeau. CanadianPM
Thanks for nothing
I’m not fired! I quit!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BillMorneau wouldve seeked re election for sure. Lying his face off right ti the end. I dont think he can help it. He has loaded his pockets with tax payer dollars. He will have a nice luxurious life at your expense.
CTV, GLOBAL, CBC Narrative. “It’s not because of the WE scandal, he wasn’t going to seek re-election anyway.. P.S. We love our Liberal overlords.
This Liberal Administration is crumbling. They failed at everything since Day 1. Thousands of Canadians dead, worst economy in history, record unemployment, complete shut down of oil industry, endless scandals, criminal behavior...the list goes on and on. NEVER vote Liberal
There’s a lot more that have to resign

See ya, theif.
One gone. Two to go. Trudolt and that snotty GG.
And earns interest on every smirk. He don’t GAF.
Trudeau is desperate to find someone who can't count. Just watch ... We'll get McKenna
Alone?
So - when is Trudeau stepping down
It’s a shame he is the one under the bus wheels, should have been Trudeau.
Scam artists right there
Sure after spending 260 billion and walking away. What a sweet deal!
Good bye good riddance. Of course you'll keep your Government pension we pay for understanding you paid for none of it
Should be taking Trudeau with him.
Already?
Now it’s time for Canadians to make more noise. Need to hold this Governments feet to the fire. This is only the first to get out of the way when Canadians find out how much corruption there is MPs will be tripping over themselves to get out.
Time to flush the Turd next
No
If he was such an amazing “Finance Minister” as people keep saying, wouldn’t he be the right guy to stay and fight the fight? Oh that’s right, the is a bullshit coverup excuse. . He should be in jail and his cell mate should be the corrupt JustinTrudeau
Spare me the 'omg he is resigning in the middle of a pandemic' from Canadian mainstream media after calling for Morneau's head for the last month. Now citizens w pay the price. Canadian citizens desperately need new media outlets w/o all the conservativeMAGA 'unbiased' drama.
Forgive my language, but this is such utter bullshit! Trudeau should also be resigning! Why aren’t the Liberal caucus, and Liberal voters, demanding it?!?! I am so disgusted with Canadian politics and politicians! TrudeauIsCorrupt TrudeauMustResign
It’s the right time for a new Prime Minister also. Third ethics violation. Enough.
No Thank You to let us go at the bottom of the sea!
Economic recovery from ... what? Covid-19 But you put us in debts years earlier! How convenient: you resign and no other consequences.. I should have pursued a political career!
No, no... don't continue anything!!! Your actions have damaged our Country enough!
Timing is everything.
Whooo hooo best news in a long while.....now for the PMO!
Trudeau sacrificed Morneau, saved himself 🤷🏽♀️ politics
Right time for a new Prime Minister
WrongMinisterQuit both is best, Prime is better
Please take Trudeau with you
1 down many many more to go.
Drinking a lot of water..... very nervous and it’s so obvious.... someone get that bus off his chest
Well well,,fire too hot to handle,,, one down. One to go. 👏👏👏👏👏
The finance minister jumps off the liberal_party train wreck, but grabs a few complimentary gifts on the way out.
Couldn’t even tell the truth on the way out the door. Take the Liar-In-Chief with you please.
Can he take JustinTrudeau and the liberal party with him. Morneau
'The right time' ? During a pandemic! The the NS premier already use that line.
Lol!!! Morneau is taking the heat OFF Trudeau for FUNNELLING a half MILLION DOLLARS to his family thru WE...This is just like BUTTS leaving over the SNC Crimes but coming BACK as an ADVISOR for the “Green Plan”...
I WONDER WHY
Aaaaaaaaand we're done here!!
A class-act!
One down now time for the pm to do the right thing He's on his third strike
Would have preferred...
CTVNationalNews 💔💔
AnnieClaireBO What a bunch of garbage
and yet trudope who is more guilty remains in power, right!
Familysponsorshipmatters prioritizefamilysponsorship
Now it is Trudeau’s turn
AnnieClaireBO Soooooo. PattyHajdu CPHO_Canada JustinTrudeau who’s next?
Spare us the nauseating words Mr. Morneau. In time everything will come out.
Trudeau needed a sacrificial lamb to take the heat for his corruption They floated the story Morneau didn’t support the “green” recovery so that Trudeau could have someone to toss under the bus and manipulate his environamntal base for the support he desperately needs.
Now charge this government for corruption! TrudeauMustGo TrudeauworstPMever TrudeauResignNOW
here is your speech bill. no matter what the question just start reading from a random spot
HAHAHAHAHA
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out
Boo there is no Canadian leadership!!! Nice run the country into the ground financially then speak up say we’re in trouble. Too late.
WE are not sorry to see you go.
Falling on one's sword is alive and well.
CTVNationalNews Stepping down but not going away. These pricks need to be charged not shuffled around
Meanwhile Trudeau just walks away . The media will leave Trudeau alone because morneau decides you need to lose a few bishops to save the king . Even when he has done much much worse
Very sad about Mr.Morneau’s decision to leave his post . He is an excellent Minister of Finance. Thank you for your service.
Looking forward to seeing either AnnamiePaul or Glen4Climate step up to run in the by-election, possibly as leader of the CanadianGreens. Glen won that riding before provincially. And Annamie faced Morneau in 2019 in the same riding. Either could win it in 6 months.
Will he accept his gold plated pension
Only wanted to tun for 2 elections to pad out the pension
