It was the orange juice. That's what the media focused on and everyone talked about. And her entire expense budget even accounting for inflation is a tiny tiny tiny fraction of what we see the liberals doing

You can play whatever mental gymnastics you like but at the end of the day it's still a massive amount of hypocrisy by people who don't care about the truth and only care about their tribe

    Nah, There were a string of controversies, expenses, yes, but altering a document (in a rediculous fashion) to remove funding from a foreign aid agency was the largest, speculation was that the request came from Harper because the agency was promoting divesting from Isreal.

    Yeah the OJ thing did also resonate with the public, maybe why you are thinking of it and forgetting everything else?

    But actually, I don't think she was as bad the party surrounding her.

    She didn't resign for anything else. She resigned because of the furor over a $14 glass of orange juice.

    And once again you're basically trying to skirt the issue. No matter how you slice it or however you want to spin it there was a huge outcry over a $14 glass of orange juice mostly from the left. That same left that is now accepting a million dollars a year in airline food is being perfectly justified. That is just an absolute fact and cannot be disputed

    So the issue here comes back to the same thing, hypocrisy. You suggest the party was bad but at the same time there were no major corruption scandals in the entire time that the conservatives were in power. Orange juice is not corruption. Even the Mike Duffy Scandal was an example of harper believing something corrupted happened and forcing somebody to make it right. If we had that kind of correction in politics canada would be a hell of a lot better off 😂

    And you're here trying to suggest that somehow the conservatives were worse and that photo was really bad while excusing carney and his million dollar airline food bill and the scandals were already beginning to see from him, And dismissing Justin scandals

    That is hypocrisy my friend.
