I wonder who he'll borrow the cash from Trudeau

Not cool when something like WE is a positive thing that raises positive vibes throughout the planet and our leaders are getting shit on! Shame on you media and everyone who are quick with defamation to the leaders. That's a Great thing for money to be placed regardless.

YahooCanadaNews A $300 fine for breaking election laws? That’ll teach him! Charge him GST (Canada’s National 5% Goods and Services Tax) on top of that and the Bastard will never do it again!

He spends more than that for lunch. What a joke.

Didn’t Dean DelMastro go to jail for the same thing?

Bill Morneau and Justin Trudeau are poster boys for political corruption gone wild. But with trivial consequences like this they have nothing to lose. Canada needs parliamentary reform with real consequences for political corruption. cdnpoli

That’ll leave a mark. He’s not doing that again.

OMG can he afford it 😋

Better watch where he gets the 300$.
