Caught Again and Again

Scandals are not a rarity in politics, especially with Trudeau and the liberals around, but what about a sitting Employment Minister allegedly profiting from a federal contract awarded to his own company? Sounds quite familiar, huh?

We are all already aware of the scandal that this single MP has been embroiled in for a while now but what if we told you there is another conflict of interest involving his company that has been approved without a shadow of a doubt?

Randy Boissonnault’s involvement with Global Health Imports (GHI), a medical supply company he co-owned, is the focal point of what’s turning into yet another ethics investigation.

Though the Liberals have tried to dismiss this as a non-issue, public law experts and conservative critics alike see it differently.

I mean, is it really ethical for a company owned by an MP to deal with the federal government? It’s up to you to decide.

Trudeau Picks Only The Most Corrupt

It’s always a roller-coaster with the Liberals, and this time Randy Boissonnault has everyone on edge once again.

Imagine being a minister, supposedly serving the public, but also owning half of a company that scores a federal contract with an agency like Elections Canada. Of course you can’t imagine it, because you are all onest Canadians, unlike the Trudeau liberals that are currently in power.

It would seem like Boissonnault has been keeping busy, just not in the way Canadians would prefer.

Conservative MP Michael Barrett who also acts like an ethics critic at this point, has already made it clear that he plans to bring this issue to the ethics commissioner. Which would not make this the first time Randy or his associates have been questioned regarding conflict of interest and corruption. The Trudeau guys really love going back again and again.

According to Barrett, Boissonnault should step down if found guilty of breaking Canada’s conflict of interest laws because Elections Canada awarded GHI a contract valued at $28,300 to supply disposable gloves.

Let’s get this straight—the minister’s company got a federal contract, and we are supposed to think that he was somehow oblivious about all of this? Talk about keeping your affairs in order.

Trudeau Liberal Is Cornered

But wait, there’s more. The agency says it hasn’t used the contract yet. As if this is somehow going to lessen the fact of the case on our hands.

Now, suppose you’re wondering if Boissonnault cleverly navigated around the ethics rules to satisfy his greedy desires, but no, he was actually just this dumb enough to get blatantly caught.

The evidence against this corrupt Trudeau liberal gets stronger with each day, and are going to slowly pile up and surely get him convicted and booted out of the office he didn’t deserve in the first place.

According to Section 13(2) of Canada’s Conflict of Interest Act, a minister cannot have an interest in a company that has a federal contract. Boissonnault claims he followed the rules by resigning from a directorial role at GHI and later relinquishing his shares. But between texts involving “Randy” and GHI contracts, one might claim that the Liberals need a tighter ship and an honest hand.

Speaking of text messages, how coincidental is it that Anderson, Boissonnault’s former business partner, texted about consulting with “Randy,” while Boissonnault was supposedly busy with a cabinet retreat? Remember all of that debacle? These texts even led to a half-hearted autocorrect excuse from Anderson.

Autocorrect, really? Even the Ethics Commissioner seems sceptical but has not launched a full-blown investigation just yet. And is it really our problem or is it the fact that the liberals were not exactly serious about the whole ordeal in the first place and didn’t want Randy’s business partner to swear an oath to tell the truth.

And here we are right now with some speculating that Boissonnault’s conflict of interest scandals might be the tip of the iceberg, with other Trudeau Liberals potentially involved in similar dealings.

The Tip of An Iceberg

What if Elections Canada contracts were only the beginning? The absence of a deeper probe could be telling in itself—Trudeau’s government always appears to conveniently escape these scandals with less damage than expected.

Despite the ongoing investigation, Boissonnault denies involvement in any operational roles since his election. But assorted lawsuits against GHI—including civil fraud and debt issues—raise bigger questions about the company’s integrity and by extension, Boissonnault’s affiliations.

The public is supposed to believe that Boissonnault was completely hands-off during these controversial dealings. You might say it’s a tough pill to swallow, much like the PPE sold by GHI.

Furthermore, the Liberals’ attempt to spin Boissonnault’s narrative just makes for an awkward spectacle. The minister argues that he hasn’t received any financial benefit. But let’s be real—contracts signed and awarded, regardless of immediate use, still smell fishy. And Trudeau – alongside his cronies – have been reeking of fish since 2015. It doesn’t take a genius detective to put two and two together.

Public governance expert Ian Stedman says the mere signing of the contract could imply a breach of ethics.

Boissonnault may find himself cornered in an ethics committee testimony once again, even as further public trust erodes. Even the arson claim on GHI’s warehouse in 2022 and subsequent operational activities throw up more red flags than the Liberals would care to see.

Elections Canada’s continued engagement with the “non-operational” GHI post-arson provides a stark contrast to Anderson’s narrative. Look at this from a conservative perspective, and it’s clear that ensuring ethical governance takes more than just good optics.

The involvement of other MPs demanding transparency indicates a desire for a deeper cleanse which, frankly, should start with Boissonnault stepping down. Trudeau and his inability -or perhaps unwillingness – to discipline his ministers appropriately only brings more scepticism about Liberal leadership focused on Canada’s welfare.

The Boissonnault saga is far from over, and it offers a telling snapshot of the Trudeau government’s handling of ethics.

From whispered conspiracies to glaring conflicts of interest, Randy Boissonnault remains under the microscope.

But ethics is more than just avoiding scandals—it’s about inspiring public trust and maintaining integrity—qualities seemingly elusive in today’s Trudeau government.
