First, there was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family vacationing as guests of the Agha Khan.

Then, we had the SNC-Lavalin scandal with the federal justice minister and the rules being thrown under a speeding bus.

Now, we have the WE Charity and Trudeau Fils failing to recuse himself from his cabinet’s decision to outsource a $900-million volunteer student grant program to that charity, which has close ties to his family and himself.

I have a question for the federal Ethics Commissioner and Canada’s Chief Medical Officer of Health: does the prime minister have the crony virus?
