    With regards to the Liberal Party guidelines, it does appear to violate those, and they deserve to be rapped on the knuckles over it. But calling this a scandal, as OP did, is pretty funny.
    Can you show where it says he didn't pay, because right from the story:
    "Among the donors was insurance tycoon Shenglin Xian, the founder of Wealth One Bank of Canada, and several Chinese billionaires."

    Donor typically means you....gave money.

    I would agree that this isn't on the level of a Watergate scandal. However, the fact that Trudeau continues to say they have done nothing wrong, despite the campaign pledges and policies in place, runs counter to the "honest" politician the Liberals are trying to portray him as.

    Ah, my mistake. Read that there's no evidence that Zhang paid to attend the event and somehow got that mixed up in my head. I'm going to be lazy and blame it on whatever sickness has been plaguing me for the past few days : P

    Yep, it's definitely a blemish on his career that he needs to explain. Again, I still don't think this is quite "scandal" or "controversy" territory still, but again, still looks bad for Trudeau/Liberal Party.

    And if this exact same situation occurred with someone on the other (wrong?) end of the political spectrum, Tennis, Edge, and Endus would be singing quite the different tune.

    So it seems that Justin has been accepting money from very wealthy people to have a sit down with them. I guess the corrupt apple doesn't fall far from the socialist tree.
    Damn, he took a page from the Clinton playbook.

    Remember folks, bribery is OK as long as the money goes to charity.

    Sounds like he is just Crooked Hillary Clinton with a dick and a suit (acts like he is for the people when hes only for himself and his rich buddies, and pay to play all day)

    Why would a Chinese business man donate millions to a university that has no connection to him (the Chinese businessman), or a charity bearing Trudeau's name (Clinton Foundation all over again) if he wasnt going to get his back scratched back in some way??

    Like I said we saw this same thing in BC. Its highly dubious to give access to the prime minister (or premier in BC's case) in exchange for political donations. In BC's case the premier was even given money she said was to supplement her salary. Apparently this is something the liberal party itself does as Ontario recently had the same scandal with their premier and all three are a part of the Liberal Party.

    Hardly. You're projecting your own bias, here. There is no "wrong" end of the political spectrum; I'm saying this isn't a "thing" because there's nothing to it.

    If you found out that Trump attended a fundraising event where businessmen were also in attendance but they gave Trump nothing and nothing came of it, I'd say that was a pile of nothing, too. My antagonism towards Trump wouldn't change that.

    It's pretty hard to call it "bribery" when the person being "bribed" gains absolutely nothing from the exchange and is essentially not involved at all.

    Trudeau probably has to raise money for his party, just like the US. He doesn't get the money, his party does.

    Exactly he is leveraging his position as prime minister to raise money for his political party. In BC's case the Premier was also accepting money from the Liberal Party for going to these events. I wonder if anyone has looked into whether Trudeau is doing the same here.

    Although I have no idea where tennis falls, but nobody here does.

    Oh so he accepts big money from wealthy communists. It all makes sense now. You're previous leader must of been bad because i can't believe that Canadians voted this marxist in. How long before the next election and this muppet gets ousted?
    There is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God
