Trudeau Press Secretary Charged By Ethics Commissioner

A mere $250 fine was doled out.

The latest Liberal to be involved with an ethics issue is Alex Wellstead, a press secretary for Justin Trudeau.

The Ethics Commissioner posted a notice today, revealing that Wellstead has been charged $250 for “failing to disclose a material change related to assets within 30 days after the change.”

“Alex Wellstead, a press secretary at Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau’s Office, has received a #penalty of $250 from the #EthicsCommissioner for failing to disclose a material change related to assets within 30 days after the change. (https://bit.ly/3m8SvFB) #CdnPoli”

As you can see, the penalty is a pathetic $250, which doesn’t do anything to dissuade ethics problems whatsoever.

And what can we expect from a corrupt system where the punishments applied to politicians are set by the politicians themselves?
