The list just goes on and on. Frankly this doesn't even mention some of the more egregious issues in my opinion. There are issues with people peddling or attempting to peddle influece, people working for the PMO who've been convicted of fraud not once but numerous times, documents that have been altered in plain sight, what appears to be the contravention of electoral laws, etc. Its really disgraceful.
I get that people are fiscally conservative and all that (and I count myself amongst those ranks), but how can you trust that any of his current promises are ever going to take place?

Well... pick the leader that lies the least ... They all will spin things, stretch the truth, flip-flop, go back on promises... Lesser of all evils thing basically.
