   Well . . .  now we have it:  Trudeau is in favour of the Keystone Pipeline.    
   And now obviously he's in favour of the Energy East pipeline.     
      
   So, only two questions arise:     
   - how much money has the oil industry contributed to the Justin Trudeau   
   Liberals?   
   and   
   - what deals were made to NOT increase taxes on major corporations by Justin's   
   Liberals in exchange for those donations?

   Justin Trudeau calls Dan Gagnier's letter to pipeline officials 'inappropriate'   
   Trudeau says a Liberal government would only accept the highest ethical   
   standards   
      
   Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Thursday that his former campaign co-chair   
   Dan Gagnier's letter to a number of people pushing for the Energy East   
   pipeline to be built was "inappropriate," and that Gagnier has decided to step   
   down from Trudeau's team    
   for the "long-term future."   
      
   Trudeau said that due to his connections to people in the energy industry,   
   Gagnier was never involved in shaping Liberal energy policy but rather held an   
   advisory role, and his voluntary resignation showed accountability.   
      
   "We are well aware of the challenge of perceptions in politics and of the   
   challenges the Liberal party has had to address in the past," Trudeau said.   
      
   "That's why we took immediate action to say that this action was unacceptable,   
   inappropriate and Mr. Gagnier fully assumes the responsibility for his actions   
   and stepped down."   
      
   The Grit leader also said that if his party forms government after the Oct. 19   
   vote, it would set a higher ethical standard.   
      
   Yesterday it was revealed that Gagnier has sent a detailed letter to five   
   TransCanada Corp. officials behind the Energy East pipeline, outlining how   
   they could best lobby a government -- including a Liberal government -- to   
   have the pipeline approved.   
      
   Throughout the day, Trudeau's campaign stood behind Gagnier, saying he did not   
   break any laws or ethical standards, and went as far as to blame the   
   Conservative campaign for stirring up a controversy where none existed.   
      
   Yesterday afternoon, however, Gagnier resigned from the campaign, saying he   
   didn't want to be a distraction.   
      
   "I deeply regret that the campaign has been affected by these negative,   
   personal attacks," his statement reads. "I have always conducted my business   
   openly and in full accordance with the rules. In the best interests of the   
   party, I have taken this    
   decision. I continue to support Justin Trudeau and hope for a Liberal   
   government on Oct. 19."   
      
   This morning during a campaign stop in Montreal, however, Trudeau said   
   Gagnier's letter was "inappropriate" and that the Liberals remain committed to   
   the highest ethical standards possible. As a result, the Trudeau campaign   
   decided to support Gagnier's    
   decision to step down as a national co-chair.   
      
   "Mr. Gagnier has a long history of working with governments and has always   
   behaved in a responsible way," Trudeau said.   
      
   "He acted in an inappropriate way a few days ago and when we found out about   
   it, we sat down with him and he chose to do the responsible thing and step   
   down from our campaign. It's a way of demonstrating the fact that we take   
   ethical standards and    
   responsibilities extremely seriously."

   Gagnier will remain away from his team "for the long-term future," Trudeau   
   said.   
      
   Trudeau also said that the Harper government has always used the excuse that   
   "no rules were broken" to justify ethically indefensible behaviour.   
      
   Later Thursday, Trudeau is planning to visit the backyard of NDP Leader Tom   
   Mulcair. He will make a whistle stop in Montreal's Outremont riding, the seat   
   held by Mulcair at dissolution and a former Liberal stronghold.
