For the most part, I don't have a huge problem with the record of our current government.  I've been comfortable with their decisions and even when I didn't agree with them, I understood the logic behind them. However, legal or not, this is a distraction and an unnecessary one at that.  Selling private time with the PM or a member of his Cabinet is not a good idea, even if the money were to go to charity.  Doing it to build up the party war chest is a non-starter.

I was opposed to the Conservatives use of government advertising revenue to needlessly self-promote.  It wasn't illegal, but it FELT like an abuse of power to me.  If PM Trudeau wants me to think his party any better, he has to act the part.  "Legal" is not the same as right.  Give up the cash-for-access scam. Find other ways to raise party donations.
