As well as being a jet-setting billionaire, Prince Karim is also the head of the Aga Khan Foundation, which lobbies the Canadian government for funds and receives tens of millions of dollars from Canada every year. The Aga Khan had recently been approved for a $15 million grant from the federal government for his Global Centre for Pluralism. So when Justin Trudeau decided to spend his holidays on the Aga Khan’s private island in the Caribbean, it raised eyebrows, to say the least.

Justin flew down to the Bahamas with his family and friends, along with one of Trudeau’s two full-time nannies, on a military jet, then took a private helicopter to the Aga Khan’s island.

Canada’s Conflict of Interest Act clearly states that ministers of the Crown are not allowed to “accept travel on non-commercial chartered or private aircraft for any purpose unless required in his or her capacity as a public office holder.”

Justin didn’t think the rules applied in this case because the Aga Khan was—and I quote—“an old friend.” It came out later, however, that Justin had only ever been in the same room as the Aga Khan once in the last thirty years before he became leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. That’s once in thirty years. So not exactly bosom buddies . . .
