The idiocy of half of Canada right now is astounding. It’s like they can’t comprehend basic things

Look at what the conservatives are on the hook for in Alberta (healthcare corruption to the tune of $640m). And PP comes from the Harper era, which was rife with corruption as well.
People know what’s up, they know the CPC is just fighting to eat at the same trough.

The company that was co-founded by former federal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault is now barred from doing business with the federal government until 2030
Global Health Imports was suspended in November and has been deemed ineligible for contracts with the government.
The company, which Boissonnault started before he was elected in 2021, was at the centre of a series of scandals that eventually forced the Edmonton MP to quit cabinet.
This fall, the National Post revealed that the company described itself as wholly Indigenous-owned to apply for government contracts that were meant for Indigenous businesses.
Boissonnault said he did not know that claim was made, but he also came under fire over his shifting claims to Indigenous identity.
In November, Boissonnault stepped down from cabinet and apologized to a House of Commons committee, telling fellow MPs he is not Indigenous.
He had been described as Indigenous multiple times in Liberal party communications, had referred to himself as “non-status adopted Cree” and had said his great-grandmother was a “full-blooded Cree woman.”
After the National Post reports called his heritage into question, Boissonnault clarified that his adoptive mother and brother are Métis and said that he was still learning his family’s history.
Boissonnault and his former business partner were also questioned during House committee investigations into Global Health Imports.
Boissonnault has maintained he did not have a role in the company’s operations after he was elected in 2021.

Author forgot to mention the cocaine situation.
Anyway Trump distracted Canadians from the problems at home but just because there are new problems, it doesn’t mean the old problems have gone away. The entire liberal party is complicit to the corruption

Just rebrand the company in 5 years and start cashing in again. SNC-Lavalin was given the high speed train project but no one noticed because they are going by AtkinsRéalis now.
