RIGHT DISHONOURABLE: Scandals that defined the Trudeau era

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ’s nearly decade-long time in office was defined by a stream of scandals, faux pas and controversies.

Many of these included cash-for-access events held at homes of wealthy Chinese-Canadians , charging attendees as much as $1,525 each in exchange for one -on-one time with the PM.

Among the more memorable blunders from the Trudeau era was the infamous 2018 state visit to India .

Trudeau 's handling of the Freedom Convoy, one of the largest protest mobilizations in Canadian history, came under intense criticism.

The Trudeau government’s decision to enlist WE to operate their $912 million Canada Student Service Grant program touched off a scandal that, once again, put the PM in the middle of yet another situation involving questionable ethics.

Trudeau was cleared of wrongdoing by the ethics commissioner.

The Trudeau era is marked with numerous questionable uses of government money and aircraft for excursions both local and abroad.

The PM and his entourage racked up a $ 200,000 in-flight catering bill during a 2023 trip to Asia , while last June’s visit to the G7 and Ukraine summits included $ 800 spent on junk food prior to the flight.

Governor-General Mary Simon 's use of government travel has also come under scrutiny.
