Responding to criticism of Trudeau attending a private fundraiser event, the writer argues that such events are normal ways politicians interact with the business community. They question Trudeau's critics and suggest that all politicians use such events to advance their political agendas. Finally, they encourage people to take it easy as it is the Christmas season.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The Gatineau event was a state dinner and not a fundraiser for the Libs (and let's face it, the Vancouver event was slime at its best).
Politicians of all stripes, and around the world, use these events to oil the wheels of commerce.
It would be interesting to know if the leaders of the opposition and some of their members were also in attendance?
If Trudeau has nothing to hide he should release the guest list.
Beyond that this APPEARS, at face value, to business as usual. It's how state craft works.
Breathe people, it's Christmas.
