Foreign interference: The latest scandal to hit the Liberals; it was found that MPs belonging to the Liberal Party had “wittingly” collaborated with foreign governments. The govt has refused to make the report public.
Groping a reporter: In 2018, Trudeau was accused of groping a journalist in the past. He simply brushed it off by saying “I don’t remember”. Surprisingly the people who want to “believe all women”, didn’t believe the woman who accused Trudeau.
The SNC Lavalin affair: Trudeau was found to have improperly pressured the then AG Jody Wilson-Raybould to go soft on SNC-Lavalin, the ethics committee found him guilty but Trudeau said he disagreed with the report’s findings.
The treatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould: Trudeau, a champion of women and minority rights, kicked out Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal caucus after she testified that the Prime Minister’s office had pressurized her to not do her job properly.
The Aga Khan incident: Trudeau vacationed on the Aga Khan’s private island and accepted other gifts from him, in breach of the conflict of interest act.
Trudeau blackface: Multiple pictures of Trudeau wearing blackface became public a few years, Trudeau said he couldn’t remember how many times he had worn blackface.
The ArriveCan fiasco: The govt gave a multi million dollar contract to a 2 person company, who then outsourced all the work to contractors and pocketed millions of dollars for doing no work.

Being outraged at Trudeau and dismissing all scandal around Smith is a bit hypocritical.
All politicians should be held accountable. If Trudeau was held accountable, we may have received better federal leadership. If Smith is held accountable, Alberta will receive better leadership.
