If he had any sense if ethical behaviour, then he would resign. Given that he doesn't, he should be turfed by Liberal caucus and/or by Parliament.

👍

Great job. One more liberal bites the dust. Nothing new to see here. We are corrupt and shameless, as always.

Thift

Way too light.

What a pathetic thing to do. This surely reflects poorly on this man’s integrity.

Sometimes the old ways are the best.

Mail theft surely has steeper penalties! Doesn’t? It’s a Federal felony in the US. cdnpoli

So he got less than a slap on the wrist. Sounds right for Justin's Liberals.

He’s a perfect fit for the Trudeau team ! Cabinet post is imminent.

Campaign managers and canvass coordinators always tell campaign volunteers not to remove another party’s flyers. But bottom line ChahalGeorge is a good man who made a small error and has paid the administrative fine (akin to a parking ticket). cdnpoli

Diversity is our strength.

But the liberal said he's sorry

Trudeau lent him the cash

Is this not mail theft? I'd be spitting tacks if I caught someone stealing my mail. wtf? LiberalParty Canada liberal_party

$500, there is a deterrent from doing this again, his $186,000 pay cheque sure took a hit...🤬

That's it? Should be removed from the party. liberal_party CPC_HQ NDP Mail tampering? Trespassing?

Is a ‘$500 penalty’ enough of a deterrent for this illegal act? I was of the understanding that objects within an individual’s mail box is private property and tampering with those articles on private property is illegal.

The homeowners must have been scared for their families while he was committing these illegal acts.

The real crime is allowing those signs at all. Worst part about election time.

When you have a good product for sale, you don't have to cheat people into buying it. All political parties are private entities that are attempting to get Federal government contracts has managers, nothing more. Their mindset/policies is what they are selling. Don't buy in.

Clown country

That’s not the worst Liberals have done

Conservative MPs accuse Trudeau of pushing 'vaccine vendetta' as convoy protest heads to Ottawa | CBC NewsConservative MPs fiercely opposed to the federal government's new vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers have slammed what they call Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's 'vaccine vendetta,' saying that a policy requiring truckers to show proof of vaccination will disrupt the country's supply chains. But it's the US that won't let them in? So why don’t you tell us what this is about instead of parroting the right wing crowd who organized this? And remind us that the US has the same regulations so that can’t even cross the border. I thought they were protesting road conditions.
