Every one moves in a direction ethically sound to them. So Parliament has an independent ethics commissioner to keep the legislature true to some standard above us. He ruled on Trudeau visiting on the Aga Khans dime as being unethical even though the published standard is that it is only unethical if its not and established family friend paying the fares. But here is the kick, The RCMP security bill was out of sight at least$127,000 dollars. For a regime that came about in part by a feel good Liberal conscience party after the visage of a Vancouver connected drowned refuge child washed up on a foreign shore we all had ethical conflict.
That Christmas no one should have been comfortable in their celebration unless they rationalized it against things like the security bill for the Trudeau Christmas either subvertally or overtly. I guess we don’t need that rationalization any more as the deserving virtue of that image is now overwhelmed by moral tiredness and blame .
In the days ahead lets try to have our ethics go up and sideways instead meeting them on the way down.

The world is filled with too much hatred, too much fighting and too much mistrust of others. The International Day of Friendship is certainly an opportunity to stop, and to reverse, these worldwide problems.
According to the United Nations, the official sponsor of this special day, the International Day of Friendship is day set aside to promote friendship among peoples, cultures and countries. Today is a time to encourage efforts towards peace, and to build bridges among different people. It is a day of respect for others, and a day to celebrate diversity.
According to the United Nations, on this day people, groups and governments should hold events and activities to promote mutual understanding and reconciliation.
On an individual level, use this day to promote friendship in big and small ways. You can begin by “extending an olive branch” to a sibling or a family member, a neighbor, or an old friend who we’ve had a falling out with. If we all try just a little the world will be a friendlier, more peaceful place.
