Ask not what you can do for your party-ask what your party can do for you.

Did the fee come out of adscam hidden funds.

Justin sure has the Liberal attitude when it comes to value for dollars, nothing is more valuable than money for Liberals.

Question is would New Brunswickers be taken in by his gushing platitudes at any price?

Do New Brunswickers know that the liberals still owe them NB, money as well as the rest of canada.

Whatever $$$$$$amount the liberals get from fundraising- is not their money- it's ours.

Who in their right mind would pay this, vacuous, blow-dried, wanna-be pretty boy 10 cents, let along $10,000, to hear what he has to say?!?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm trying to digest this, are you saying the Local Liberals pay Trudeau $10,000 to make a speech at a fund raiser, using donated money from Canadians. I don't know who to be disgusted with, Trudeau or the Local Liberals for hiring him.

"The rich get rich and the poor get poorer" ... in the meantime, in between time, ain't we got a spoiled, entitled, typically Librano Trudeau?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The Turd doesn't fall far from the pig at the public trough.

Well said, BatB. There is, indeed, very little distance between the pig's snout and his nether region.

All this and the Librano apologists are all worried about Senator Duffy's expenses. Pathetic lot.

My guess is this tid bit of info was leaked by one of the leadership rivals, perhaps Chauchon.

Is the $ 10k too much or too little for his speech?

He is famous.

I have stars in my eyes just thinking about being in new brunswick to see JT speak.....

sorry i tripped my sarcasm breaker.

more importantly he has "good" hair.

Oh, you mean the same agency that employs Conservative Senator Mike Duffy as a speaker. I suppose the Tories can afford the $10,000 fee.

It's not that JT charges a fee to speak, its that he did so to his own Liberals for a fundraiser. If he was speaking to some group like the Canadian Paint and Coatings Association, by all means, charge away.

Find me one proven instance where Duffy has charged his fee to conservatives for their fundraiser, and maybe I'll take your trolling seriously.

Actually, our party CAN afford the fees. Our party does not owe money to Elections Canada and our party did not steal millions from Canadian taxpayers. Do you have any other ill-thought comment to make? Perhaps, TJ, you should think before commenting. Never make a comment which can be shot down so easily.

Loos like Libs are doing worse than their 2008 numbers in each riding tonight (well except the one in Nova Scotia, but 2006 is the more apt comparison there since Casey won 69% as an independent in 2008 and their result tonight is lower than in 2006).

Wonder how much this news getting out had to do with the collapse of the lib vote in Que tonight.
Hey, we took a seat from the Bloc. 2 wins for us, a loss for the Bloc and a hold on for NDP.

It is rather stupendous that a backbench Liberal would charge anything beyond expenses to speak at a fundraiser. It's a scandalous amount by any standards. Begs the question, what's in a name?

Geographically, the bi-election results couldn't be better.

Guessing the Iggy/Donolo team didn't get hitched up in time....

TRAVERS, TABER, OLIVER, FIFE, CLARK CBC CTV, etc etc must be scratching their heards wondering what went wrong after they spent years, months wks, hrs doing their best 'protecting their 'LOVED ONES THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA.

Jen, they'll be droning on about what the Liberals have to do to gain support, helping any way they can, including giving air time to any pseudo scandals the Liberal bunker boys can dig up. It's becoming a gong show of major proportions and the media seems willing to spend all their credibility capital on it.

Peter Donolo must be busy these days brushing up on some magic tricks and hoping for some miracle of near biblical proportions.

You watch, the ' liberal' national media we see everyday will suggest in a very nice way so as not to sound concern 'that a Coalition with the NDP is a new trend for the success of the LIBERALS'.

THE MEDIA GONG SHOW -not a bad idea for a 'DAY' show. At least a little comedy to soothe the soul.

NO, really Liz, CANADIANS deserves better than those ' TWITS ' who pretend to be the MEDIA.

The Liberals most likely will join the NDP

It shows that both parties not fit to handle taxpayers purse.

I take it that you are speaking of the Liberal and New Democrat parties.

THE NATIONAL MEDIA will - they will lay the red carpet for that matter.

BTW, did any of the Liberals who still owe EC pay their dues yet?

Come on, he was promoting literacy, as in read the fine print.

Not at all surprising.

It won't be long until the LP makes this guy their leader on the hope that he 'is his father's son' and will return them to their former glory. What they will get though, is another dud leader. Look, this guy was recently commenting on the new book about his father and he said 'it's all new to me', he had no idea of the politics of his father's time. None. 'New to me.' Come on, this guy is almost 40 years old and he never studied Canadian history especially at the time of his father? He said in one interview that his dad never brought his work home so he had until this recent book, no idea as to what his father did. He is a rich kid who has played most of his life and that's what makes him so annoying. He took the minimum in university to get his teaching degree. In all his years his total working experience is less than 4 years teaching drama on and off. The easiest road a teacher can take. Now he's an MP charging his own this kind of money for a little speech? If it weren't for his father absolutely no one would be interested in what he has to say. He's a faker.

If the Liberals go with Justin Trudeau we'll know for sure they have a penchant for poor picking, the guy's not ripe, green as grass, just listen to him!

Poor, poor Liberals, now relying on Donolo to work wonders, more like miracles, when he himself hasn't been in politics for a couple of decades when he worked for Chretien when Liberals reigned supreme with little or no opposition.

Paul Martin, a man of great expectations and experience got the job he coveted for decades then didn't know what to do with it, couldn't best his nemesis Jean Chretien who fixed his wagon and that of his party. It's job that requires more than the ability to deliver a prepared speech with platitudes and smarmy rhetoric. They need a leader in more than name. A successful leader is not a puppet.

If they want to continue down this path, they'll get the same results.

Hey Leasa. How are you doing? I haven't seen you since the good old days at the now-defunct Halton Dude Ranch. I hope all is well with you.

Hey EoE, yeah the good old days when we drove Turner to drink! LOL Does he still blog with comments?

The Liberal must be very desperate to pay 10 G for en empty Head like Justin.
Boy are they in trouble.

Did Justin charge those young libs to speak at Concordia U the other day.

Peter Pan does not come cheap.If the tax trough is not available in the liberal world,then the house pays.The entitled apple has learned well.
