Premier Wall called, he’d like to ask you about those fees you charged.
Given the headline at the CBC, it seems odd there was no report of crack cocaine or Somolian gangs.
More depth from the Star Phoenix.

Mental Health week was May 6 – 12. Judging by the comments on the CBC site, it looks like the majority of the CBC’s audience failed to participate.
It is doubtful that Trudeau is running his show all on his own; there must be someone he employs to keep track of his schedule and what he has said, and when and to whom. How soon will that person be identified and subsequently fired for just(in) cause?
Read the comments on the CBC website! you’d think Brad was satan. apparently our premier isn’t allowed to have an opinion.
No way of knowing for sure, but by the comments, I would think that most of those making the comments are actually Toronto Star editorial staff.
The minute that the lpc responds like this means Wall’s comments exposed their leaders biggest weakness.
That justin is an elitist liberal that percieves the country as his to rule by birthright, and as such he’s entitled to a tribute just for showing up. He is, entitled to his entitlements…
They still have not learned.
Wall really should just shut up. He’s picking a fight with what is probably the next PM. Also, he’s wrong. Trudeau has no obligation to return any money.
LAS…..Trudeau had no right to ASK for the money. Trudeau will get waxed in the election. The guy is a walking disaster. When the light gets shone on him, watch him collapse faster than Ignatieff did.
Entitlement runs deep in your society, doesn’t it LAS?
In your estimation, what would be the total, in dollars in equity payments, you have received in your life from those of us in the West? Without the money train leaving our provinces, where would you be and what would you be doing? Those payments have made you lazy and stupid, because those subsidies have enabled you there to be stunted in your innovation and keeping up with the rest of society.
You socialists love to get paid for your words and thoughts in these kind of speeches, as your value system is based on the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” and the “how about we try this”. Conservatives and Libertarians get paid for their deeds and actions. That is why we mock you, for we see that the value you place on these speaking engagements really mean very little to us. If we were to poll the people in attendance to Justin’s speech, I would venture to say that there would be very few who would remember anything of long term value that The Shiny Pony would have uttered. Yet, the taxes dolled out to you in Quebec, are siphoned off of the backs of those doing the heavy lifting in today’s economy.
Oh come on folks don’t rise to the bait. Everyone knows that Cow-patty Trudeau will be the next PM about the time LAS is class valedictorian. In other words about the time Hell’s Demons have a home game against the Toronto Maple Laughs er Leafs.
Poor LAS.
The comments, both here and at the CBC site make it clear that Premier Wall has definitely scored a direct hit amidships, just below the waterline. The SS Trudeau should soon settle deep, roll over and go down by the stern taking all hands.
And or government union hacks.
Good for Premier Wall.
Shiny Pony doesn’t care for people any more than his Castro/Mao loving old man.
Charity asks Justin Trudeau to return speaking fee after event bombs
http://www.torontosun.com/2013/06/14/charity-asks-justin-trudeau-to-return-speaking-fee-after-event-bombs
Since Canada has been blessed with the “Beibs” ala Justin Beiber it is only fitting we are also blessed with the “Turds” Justin Turdo, only in this pussified era would anyone other than a limpie or an old prude be pissed with what Brad Wall said, Brad is an honorable man and that is what honorable men think you CBC poofters, there are still men, west of your cesspool on the lake Toronto, go back to being mean to fat people you CBC wretches. Good on Brad Wall, he is a young Ralph Klein, scaring CBC lefties everywhere with nothing more than, oh horrors of horrors, a set of balls.
Strange but Mulcair said something similar yesterday. Amazing how this fluffy male model manage to unite those two
LAS, is it possible that something might be legal and yet morally wrong? Could that ever happen?
L-ASS
as Wall is a public servant, he has a duty to speak out against Turdo’s bullshit
god U are one stupid dick
Trudeau had no right to ASK for the money.
Um. Yes he did. And he got paid as per an agreed contract. There’s nothing ‘entitled’ about that, contra tarded posters here who think I type with a Quebecois accent.
Trudeau will get waxed in the election. The guy is a walking disaster.
Um. How many MPs has Trudeau lost to desertion? How’s his positive/negative numbers doing? Nevermind, you’re clearly busy whistling past that graveyard.
as Wall is a public servant, he has a duty to speak out against Turdo’s bullshit
1)No he doesn’t. 2) When is he gonna speak out against Harper’s BS? Cuz that’s the guy who’s actually PM.
God I love pwning you all. You’re like insects before me.
The Saskatoon Public School Board need to give their collective heads a shake. You would think that there would be far better uses for the $20,000 that they forked out to listen to the pontifications of bonehead Trudeau. School board officials who came up with this decision appear to be operating on the same intellectual level as LAS. And that ain’t nuthin’ to brag about.
Well said Brad! Trust the lefty flakes on the CBC site to turn it into a criticism of Wall. Trust a lefty, even when you’re in the wrong try to deflect the blame or change the topic.
Oh my God. Did you actually type that?
Silly person. So full of yourself.
Just admit you love Justin Trudeau to bits and get it over with, LAS.
No charitable organisation or school should have wanted to hear Trudeau speak and that they gave him money to do so just fries me. Then there is Trudeau’s moral vision. He has none. He took money from places one would think could not spare it.
Trudeau is greedy, the organisations are silly and LAS, you are a bootlicker.
Did I pwn you? You’re welcome.
Why are charities channelling funds to politicians?
Where do you think most charities plead for funding…the Government.
They are just priming the socialist pump, is all.
LAS, um No he didn’t.
MP’s don’t ask for fees and that is what he is.
This was a seniors home that thought he would bring in a large audience and they would raise enough money to buy furniture they required.
(An aside: does N.B. vote Liberal all the time in every riding?)
That was an extremely poor bit of bookwork on someone’s part because
No. 1 – when a small organization is trying to raise money for furniture (or anything else for that matter) it actually is the best evidence you have that they can’t afford to waste the outrageous sum of $20,000. They could have bought a lot of furniture for that and now they are out of funds. Where did they even get the $20,000. to pay him? Did they borrow from the bank? Did people loan it to them?
That Turdeau Jr. would take that money shows greed that mirrors his father’s and shows a side of him that is despicable/
Since he charges such high speaking fees, he should be able to deliver. He didn’t and even if it wasn’t written into any agreement that might, or might not, have been signed, it was certainly assumed that his name and taking a run for PM in the next election would make him a good fundraiser.
Not sure why they would assume that because most of the video clips I’ve seen show people trying to look interested and engaged while nearly falling asleep. Sort of like some churches.
If they have requested the money back, it shows that they possibly emptied their bank account and now are in a serious situation. The son of Margaret should show himself a man of integrity and return it as a gift, if that would make it more palatable for him. He can’t look any less a man than he does now.
why can’t I see the comments on cbc.ca? I’m kind of disappointed actually.
An Evening with Justin Trudeau was supported by a lot of businesses.
On July 9th, they declared it a success. When did they become disillusioned? When the donations didn’t arrive in the mail?
His speech sounds as boring as he-doublel
Posted July 3rd on Grace webpage:
On Wednesday June 27, Grace Foundation hosted its inaugural fund raising event. Guest speaker Justin Trudeau spoke passionately about our roles and responsibilities as Canadians in the global community, challenging each individual to consider his or her contribution toward positive change. Following the formal presentation, audience members had an opportunity to pose questions and engage in conversation. Audience members agree it was an evening to remember.
Posted on July 5th
Grace Foundation would like to thank MBS Radio and its local radio stations – K100, CFBC Oldies and Big John FM – for their tremendous support as Gold Sponsor of An Evening with Justin Trudeau.
Posted July 9th on their webpage:
Many thanks to the corporate sponsors who contributed to the success of Grace Foundation’s first fund raising event – An Evening with Justin Trudeau. Our generous sponsors include The Wright Agency, RBC Dominion Securities, National Leasing, Images by Ceci, and The Shadow Lawn Inn.
The group he stole from:
Grace Foundation is a charitable organization whose mission is to generate and manage funds to enhance the lives of the residents of the Church of St. John & St. Stephen Home Inc., an 80-bed nursing home located in Millidgeville in Saint John.
Glaierman …. It is a sad fact that many residents of the GTA get all their opinions from the TorStar or the CBC….
My most frequent conversation ender with my brother in law (Oshawa) is when I sum up his predictably stupid comments on anything political with that observation. So far … 100% of these instances go back to some garbage that came from one of those sources.
As for Wall stating the facts about the value of a speech by the little putz … good for him.
Further to Wall … as a nation … we have NO obligation to show ANY respect to the the thieves and traitors of the LPC.
Tell me LAS, WHERE will he pick up 130 seats? Especially with the new seat redistribution.
And most people GIVE to charity when they want to help; they don’t GET money. Backwards Liebera priorities, ya plank.
Keep dreaming, sunshine. 😀
God I love pwning you all. You’re like insects before me.
LAS, your mama basement dwelling, World Of Warcraft personality is starting to peak through.
The truly funny part of this is the fact that morally and ethically Shiny Pony did nothing wrong. However what he has done is shown he has a political tin ear. If politics were music my three year old grandson could do a better rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. How bad is it that you charge a charity exorbitant fees yet not be able to pack the hall with your big name / fancy speech? Combine that with the fact he was demanding such high fees while sitting as an MP and doesn’t have the decency to offer a refund or partial refund when it is obvious the ‘event’ wasn’t even coming close to meeting the overhead and you have a politician so far over over his head his lateral view is LAS and if they both look up they can see the rusted, broken keel of the Titanic.
And predictably the media party attacks the messenger.
Only in the PC world is an ethical position grounds for attack.
Trudeau is a thief, aided by public board members of dubious standards and unquestioned by our Presstitutes who lack any personal standards by which to make judgement.
Theft from the poor is still robbing the poor, even if it is the accepted Liberal playbook.
Steal from the taxpayer to enrich the chosen ones of the elite.
Defending this diversion of desperately needed resources, from charity to Libtard, is defending the indefensible.
Theft (in Hebrew “gne’iva”) and robbery (in Hebrew “gezel”) are considered the
same under most systems of common law but are differentiated under Noahidic law.
Theft is defined as taking property by stealth while robbery is defined as
taking property openly and/or by using violence.
Joe: The truly funny part of this is the fact that morally and ethically Shiny Pony did nothing wrong.
Not with you on that one Joe.
A sitting MP takes time off from his duties to give very dull speeches to idiots who will pay his exorbitant fees. And a millionaire no less.
What is not ethically wrong with that? Name 10 sitting MP’s who have done the same thing in the past 10 yrs.
And not morally wrong? To take from the poor to give to the rich has always been a sin.
He is very much a typical Roman Catholic Quebec politician: no morals or ethics.
“…The truly funny part of this is the fact that morally and ethically Shiny Pony did nothing wrong…”
Joe, you have to be kidding.
An MP absents himself from Parliament (his job) so that he can travel to, and get handsomely paid for, speaking engagements? Nothing wrong?
And to make matters worse, most of his speaking engagements were at publicly-funded institutions that carved him cheques from tax-payer funds.
And I won’t even touch the fact that this Tit’s half hour speaking engagements netted him the same amount of cash that a minimum wage grocery-bagger grosses in a 50-week year.
If you need an ethics course, (a) you don’t have any, and (b) you’ll never acquire them.
Aw, poor little Justin! Every time he is criticized, he’s either being “smeared” (according to the CBC) or “bullied” (according to his mom). All those mean, nasty adults, picking on poor little Justin!
Seriously, though, I have to question the brains behind the charities who are actually paying Justin $ 20,000 as a speaking fee. The NB seniors’ home paid him that amount, plus his travel and accommodation; on top of that, they had to rent a venue, pay for advertising and so on – all to raise funds to buy furniture. They could have taken that money and gone on a spending spree at IKEA.
He’ll give the money back. Be sure to read the National Post today.
“Justin Trudeau says he’ll compensate any charitable group that paid him a hefty speaking fee to participate in fundraising events.
The Liberal leader says he’ll either give back the fees or find some other way to “make it right.”
He could, for instance, agree to speak again at fundraisers for the groups — for free this time.
Trudeau told CTV’s Question Period he’ll sit down with each of the groups to see what suits them best.”
One thing you have to say is that Shiny Pony better hope his career in politics lasts beyond the next election because his career as a deliverer of polished platitudes just went down the crapper. Imagine being such a poor draw you feel obligated to return your fee. Whose going to hire you to clutter their dinner plates with corny cliches now?
His offer to reimburse any charity that asks for it is essentially an empty gesture, since I don’t see anybody taking him up on his offer. After all, they hired him in the first place, which can only mean that they were (and most likely still are) completely celebrity-struck by him.
The Conservative attack ads soon after the Liberal leadership convention were unnecessary – all they had to do was sit back and wait for him to implode. It’s already happening.
