Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault has been booted from Justin Trudeau’s cabinet after getting caught misleading Canadians about his Indigenous heritage and the fact that his former business is being investigated by Edmonton Police. Are Canadians really all that surprised? It seems like every day, the Trudeau government finds themselves in hot water due to unethical behaviour by their MPs.
Despite being booted out of cabinet, it’s likely nothing will happen to Boissonnault. He’ll probably get a slap on the wrist and continue to enjoy his six-figure salary now as a backbench MP. It’s no wonder Canadians have lost complete faith in the institution of Parliament.
On this episode of the Northern Dispatch, True North’s Harrison Faulker and the Northern Perspective’s Ryan and Tanya discuss the scandal involving Boissonnault and what can be done to restore public trust of Parliament. Tune in now!
