“Freeland, who faced no personal financial penalty, signed an undertaking with Elections Canada not to make the same mistake again and her former riding association paid $910.58 to Elections Canada in January.”
That will teach her for sure! 🙄
>The report said because Freeland shared these remarks as a government representative at official government events that had a total commercial value of $910.58, her remarks amounted to a campaign contribution by the Government of Canada.
>Freeland was not aware that her comments in this forum would have violated the Elections Act, the report said.
Alright, straight to jail unless she paid back $910.58 /s
So that’s why she went to Ukraine to avoid this.
And they’ll do it again.
As someone who audits candidates this seems like some obscure thing that could only be caught by someone with elections Canada in person or from a video tape of the event.
>The commissioner’s report said in response to the questions Freeland expressed her support for Church, who recently had resigned as Freeland’s chief of staff in order to run.

What a monster she is
There are never ever any consequences for politicians. Why bother even voting. They truly do not care
Lol so silly
It’s a good thing we have rules and a system in place to enforce them. Keeps things clean.
This particular incident I’m sure feels like a nothingburger to most people (and it truthfully is), but calling it out helps maintain and safeguard the democratic process. I can get behind that.
How do we even come up with such a bizarre law?
Off to maximum security prison!! The most heinous of crimes…../s
So she wound up on the wrong side of a fuzzy line that took a year to decide about and the party paid a little fine. Looking forward to conservatives pointing at this any time someone tries to criticize them in the future.
I dislike Freeland but 100% don’t care about this.
huh, I also broke the law during the 2024 Toronto byelection… several times.
Red light camera, a couple of speed cameras on four lane highways reduced to 60 kms, and of course, the inevitable craven parking tickets. Nothing I’m ashamed of; the usual high crimes and misdemeanours.
And I’ll do it again!
What are the consequences? Right, there never are any. We might get an apology at the most.
I love how ridiculously tiny and benign most our political scandals are. No 400 million dollar Qatari jets here.
This will make for a good headline the CPC can use to „own the Libs“, that’s all that matters.

Oh. lol.
