Gurkiran Kaur Sidhu accepted chair as gift in exchange for posting about it on her instagram account.
Oh I forgot that guy existed I don't have Tic Toc or IG tho
What you actually do when you think there is a potential conflict of interest. Seek out the commish, and not years after the fact like Trudeau and Morneau.
This is hysterical given PierrePoilievre spends all his free time vacationing with billionaires on their properties and then pushing through bills they like. Talk about undue influence, but we're worried about a rocking chair company now. Ok.
Yeah that's not good
So it wasn’t gifted. It was given in exchange of publicity. That’s not a gift. And this guy is supposed to be a politician, is now a wannabe influencer trying to get free goodies! He is not ripping taxpayers enough?
Normally I go out of my way to defend Mr. Singh from (typically) unfair criticism. Have to say though, this time he messed up. Should've known better. Still won't vote for the Libs though
I wonder what Doug Ford got for doing an ad for Tim Horton's.
How can it be a gift if it comes with conditions? Then it’s not a gift. So him accepting the chair he also accepted the price. Not $ but advertising. Still a price. Makes u wonder what else he is willing to do for stuff?
So glad they have limit on dollar value of present
Thinking “realized their error” is code for “getting caught”. Everything bad has to start somewhere… Maybe he wants to be a conservative when he grows up.
Time to call the ethics commissioner! Oh, it’s not Trudeau? Never mind then.
Taxable Income too
After how many years in office and you still don't understand the rules ? I don't know many people that can afford a rocking chair with a price tag of almost $2,000 especially those that support the NDP.
That’s what happens when your leader is more interested in trending on social media rather than leading. NDP chose this guy for his Instagram following so it’s hardly surprising.
It’s not a gift if she is promoting it. It is product placement. JFC CBC!
when politicians behave like influencers, episode 255 🙄
Anyone ever see a CBC report on how much the value of a free, gifted weekend at an $18 million beachfront estate in Tofino is worth? I’m willing to bet much more than $1,895, even per night! Justin, do you know? Thanks 😊 cdnpoli tofinotrudeau SorryNotSorry CBCOmbud
This is disappointing to see. The no gift rule applies to all public servants and someone at his level should know better. It's not about the chair, it's about following a clear cut rule.
So you’ll report on theJagmeetSingh and an $1,895 rocking chair, but nothing on Trudeau’s CAF01 flights & security detail costs so he could spend the weekend at an $18 million beachfront mansion in Tofino on inaugural National Day of Truth & Reconciliation? NDTR cdnpoli 🤦🏻♂️
Anyone who thinks you can connect with the poor is now figuring you out. after you accepted an 1800 dollar rocking chair to promote it. The only problem was you got caught. What watch do you wear in private? You are trying to fool your base.
another example of political entitlement. Politicians are bombarded by bagmen, er “lobbyists”, with cash, votes, gifts, trips, jobs for relatives, in exchange for support for their ‘clients’ ventures. It’s disgusting. It’s pay to play w bagmen double dipping at each end.
Never gave it ant thought ...who really cares.
Another case of 'he got caught'.
Hahahaha if you notic theJagmeetSingh PM Trudeau is not having a press conference insulting you making fun of you etc .sound familiar...thats bc the PM has class sophitication..he knows u screwed badly but hes not making it public u did..so taking kickbacks?
Kudos to the Canadian people and press. Product placing like some athlete or some actor is unacceptable for elected and unelected government officials as well as their immediate family.
Now Monte design has gotten far more attention than it expected
That's how Instagram works. You don't think anyone does it for free, do you? Even if you pretend to be woke and progressive.
Ffs.. Let them have their 'baksheesh'. It is a traditional way of influence. Who are we to proclaim our morality when a closet full of 'treaties' have been overlooked for years. Sit and burp the little one with pride in your 'fancy pants' chair.
What's the difference between a furniture company paying Jagmeet to post a pic of their chair, And a corporate political donor paying Jagmeet via the NDP to post tiktok videos against Trudeau? AlbertaOtoole cdnpoli cdnmedia
Grifter got caught
he got caught..just another fake politician...so tired of this
Typical NDP. Play up the “tax the rich” mantra, whilst adding to your personal collection of Rolex watches, BMWs, and $2000 rocking chairs.
What's the difference between a furniture Co. paying Jagmeet to post a pic of their chair, and another corporate donor making a donation to the NDP so Jagmeet will post a tiktok video against Trudeau? AlbertaOtoole
I guess this means the rest of them get an audit.
'The system is rigged in favour of the rich and powerful,' says Singh from his free $2000 chair.
The master of social media had his own post bite him in the ass.
I'm not even a fan of the NDP or this guy's views but you didn't need to write this article to damage him. Seriously I would have probably said 'yeah sure I'll feature your chair in my video'
Wow, a rocking chair for their newborn?! 🤦♀️ Get a grip breaking news! Mmm…didn’t Ford’s family printing business once have a “conflict of interest” doing TO and Gov’t work while the Ford brothers were in elected leadership positions? Did those $$$ ever get repaid to taxpayers?
Any money she may make because of the post should be considered as well.
So sad …. What have this world come to. So what she mentioned it ? She likes it ! Let others like it and buy it! No need to repay . This is stupid
I would think less of him had he paid that much money on that cheap looking rocking chair and proceeded to tweet about it. The dude got it for free. He's a boss!
Yet no one is questioning why a rocking chair costs almost $2k?! 😂
They really should have known better.
JeffreyLuscombe Oops 😬
Crooked racist?
So, when do the endless investigations and dead horse beatings start?
You have to have a rocking chair if you have a baby. We wore ours out. Keep rocking...best fathers do.
People actually vote for this grifter. cdnpoli
Typical politician back door deals to suit him and his family
He’s a lawyer. Greedy.
I'd never vote for his party and even I say who gives a crap?! It's a chair. They just had a baby. Let it go people.
Seriously?
JeffreyLuscombe ‘realized their error’ Most Canadians to theJagmeetSingh
Failure to disclose will only cost you 500 bucks, no wonder they never declared it, seems like a pretty sweet deal wrt gifts and penalties.
Big surprise.
Just like the 2021 election wasting too much time on social media ends in failure for Jagmeet
This broke my heart. This is a possible gateway drug. Could you imagine if this was Jane Sanders? I can’t. And that’s an American. Not good.
One of the men that’s trying to destroy our country!
theJagmeetSingh maybe tag canadagoose while you are at it.
Congratulations on your new baby! Enjoy every minute of every day as they grow up far too quickly. And who cares about the rocking chair! Celebrate life
If JT and his wife were doing the same he was all over him !!
Does cover real stories anymore?
Some rules are stupid….Keep the chair and show it off with the new beautiful baby. Win win….
I’m so sick of this - corrupt through and through.
Isn't that the tiktok guy? This guys loves attention.
It was a mistake . Leave them alone.
HE posted it and it’s still there
A publicly broadcasted company is really going to go down this route?
This is nothing. It's a chair. I'm more concerned with Conservative governments giving their friends multi-million dollar grants for non-existent products. Beeping bracelets ring a bell for anyone?
The problem is his misleading post, trying to make out that it was an innocent post about how he was “working”, all the while he is really just advertising the chair as per the agreement. This and all the other lame posts about TikTok , skateboarding Etc, it’s all a ruse.

Isn't he working?
The wife gets a free chair, and the husband gets grilled. Keep it classy Canada.
Jagmeet has zero ethics? Color me shocked.
He knew the rules as much as anyone else in politics knows, can't use the wife as a scapegoat
Our potential future first lady is an Instragram Influencer 😂
He came out of the shower for a photo shoot
'a $1,895 rocking chair given to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's wife in exchange for posting about the item on her Instagram account.' a man of the people lol
I mean, hey, no harm, no foul in this case. Who cares at the end of the day? But this kind of thing has teeth of a *checks notes* $500 fine? What is even the point?
