Much has been made about Justin's second go-around with ethics violations and his complete inability to acknowledge, apologise and actually do something solid about his wrongdoing like resign.
People who are properly raised, taught right from wrong, made humble, made to accept the consequences of their actions and see their role in society as a service or duty, not as an opportunity for self-aggrandisement, might not have ever made the critical mistakes Justin has made.
The spoiled prince is not such a person with scruples, hence his unwillingness to do anything that resembles contrition.
But one knows what kind of person Justin is.
What kind of people are those who support and tolerate him?
Who believes a snowboard instructor has more experience running a country than a trained economist?
Enough to put the Liberals into power, apparently.
Who tolerates the assault of women and shrugs their shoulders when they hear that groping was just a "learning experience"?
Who railroads an erstwhile comrade in order to secure (so is oft-repeated) a handful of jobs in a favoured province?
Who expects politicians campaigning for re-election to attack their opponents as a form of distraction instead of listing their positive accomplishments during their time in office?
The same kind of people who really don't think that they've done anything and hope that everyone feels the same way, too:
(Sidebar: this Quebec, "entitled to its entitlements".)
But not Andrew Scheer, though:
I like your fortitude, Andy, even if it is against a numbskull like Justin, but he is never going to apologise because he feels that it is beneath him and asking the RCMP to investigate the SNC-Lavalin matter is like asking foxes guard a chicken coop.

To committed Liberals there is nothing untoward in this. There’s no chasm to notice between the efforts to “save jobs” in Quebec — while sending $1.75 billion to that province’s dairy farmers as compensation for the impact of trade deals ...
(Sidebar: this Quebec, "entitled to its entitlements".)
... — even as investors flee Alberta in what has been termed a “bloodbath” for the energy industry. There’s no oddity in Trudeau losing patience with his high-profile Indigenous minister because she resists yet another made-in-Ottawa solution to centuries of inequity. There’s nothing disturbing about one private enterprise having astonishingly privileged access to the highest figures in the government and the apparent ability to bend cabinet at its command. And there’s no reason to question retired supreme court justices directing their influence on a cabinet member striving to defend legal independence.
Maybe that’s what’s so scary about the whole thing: that Liberals don’t see anything wrong with it. They think it’s all fine. And they want us to vote for more.
But not Andrew Scheer, though:
In New Brunswick, Andrew Scheer and Justin Trudeau were face to face, and Scheer didn’t hold back on what he thought.
“Stop lying to Canadians,” said Scheer, before adding “You need to come clean.”
Trudeau’s response?
“Oh, this is a good day today.”
I like your fortitude, Andy, even if it is against a numbskull like Justin, but he is never going to apologise because he feels that it is beneath him and asking the RCMP to investigate the SNC-Lavalin matter is like asking foxes guard a chicken coop.
