Testifying

The Prime Minister has accepted my invitation to testify at Finance Committee. He must swear an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Recap of where we’re at

1. When the prime minister announced his controversial $912-million summer student volunteer program, he said WE Charity had been contracted to administer it. pic.twitter.com/JTkAU0QII5

Recap: Morneau/Trudeau gave $912m contribution to the real-estate holding-arm of a group that had paid Trudeau's family $300k and gave Morneau's daughter a job and his family $41k in illegal travel expenses. That's just what we know so far.

Illegal trip

NEW: WE Charity says the trips the Morneau family took were complimentary. Today Bill Morneau told the finance committee he was “completely surprised” that the expenses hadn’t been charged to him.

41k

Morneau claims he did not know that WE had given him $41,000 in wine, meals, accommodation, travel, and other benefits on his exotic Ecuadorian vacation. Who did he think was paying for it all?

Did he think the luxuries fell on him from the sky?

Outrageous

“It’s just outrageous. It’s completely unacceptable for a finance minister, for any minister, to accept illegal trips which is what Mr. Morneau seems to have done,” said @AndrewScheer calling on Finance Minister @BillMorneau to resign.

Explaining the 41k gap

.@Bill_Morneau says he wrote a $41K cheque to WE today for expenses related to his family's trips with WE. “I had expected & always had intended to pay the full cost of these trips… not doing so, even unknowingly, is not appropriate. I want to apologize for this error,” he said pic.twitter.com/BPEoD6zY0B

Glory HOles

Naturally the next step in BC's path to having the most glory holes per capita is partnering with a porn site to fund them.

In behalf of all British Columbians, thank you YouPorn for your most generous offer of $100,000.

I expect the bidding process to be fierce. pic.twitter.com/7G4i4A5OaL
