Like this corruption:
Liberal MPs have been using parliamentary funds to pay for services from companies that provide two of the governing party’s most important digital campaign operations, and that also run its powerful voter-contact database.
An examination of expenses filed in the House of Commons shows 149 Liberal MPs, or 97 per cent of the caucus, made payments out of their office budgets to Data Sciences Inc., founded by a close friend of Justin Trudeau.
And 152 Liberal MPs made payments to NGP VAN, a political-campaign software used by the U.S. Democratic Party and licensed by the Liberals to run their Liberalist database.
The issue of expenses claimed by Liberal members of Parliament raises ethical questions about whether taxpayer funds are being spent for partisan political purposes.

The Department of Environment in what it calls the “first comprehensive assessment” of the federal carbon tax admits the original $50 per tonne charge would not meet emissions targets. Then-Environment Minister Catherine McKenna repeatedly promised prior to the 2019 election the $50 rate would never increase: “The price will not go up.”
