The point here is plain. Why does it take months to make a ruling on what is, substantially, a very limited and understood question? Did Justin Trudeau’s engagements, his multiple appearances as a high-banner speaker at WE Day events, and his therefore obviously friendly relationship with Craig and Marc Kielburger, play any part in the decision, since abandoned, to pay the brothers’ WE Charity up to $43.5 million to run a program worth almost $1 billion? Were any other organizations consulted, offered an opportunity to apply for management of that program, or was WE plucked out because of its high profile with the prime minister? Was this a plain conflict of interest or the plain appearance of a conflict of interest, which in this context, are more or less the same thing? […]
There’s nothing complicated here. The Kielburger brothers almost got the administration of a huge pile of public money. The Trudeau family had received financial benefits from said brothers. The prime minister, both before taking the highest office and when in it, was a full-throated participant, speaker and endorser of WE and the Kielburgers. His mother received a boatload of fees. His brother somewhat less. His wife showed up at their stadium galas with all expenses paid. The Kielburgers — before they backed out from the controversy — were in difficult times, their organization tottering from mass resignations.
Their refusal to answer is a de facto admission of guilt and ought to be treated accordingly.
Sadly it won’t be.
In a real country, there would be contempt charges.
Brings in to question of why the politicians are clearly breaking our laws and yet never charged or in jail and if you tried this crap, instant incarceration and charges.
Add on more laws by this Pandemic and people feel used.
Man oh man!
Just wait till Pinky NO’Tool gets a hold of this! He’ll call out turdo for the crooked, commi-loving, snake that he is!
What’s that?
He’s had this for months and months?
So …. he’s just “biding his time”, eh?

Biden his time? It certainly seems that he’s taking lessons from Basement Joe.
Does it matter?
despite the many scandals and corruption of Trudeau, the cult of Trudeau will still vote for more of him, and ignore his, and his parties corruption again
The West has no future in Confederated Canada,where the Just Us System is institutionalized,freedom has no hope.
The kleptocracy that has rotted Canada’s soul is a way of life.
Our eastern comrades love it,promote it and reward it.
By theft and lies..Power.
While ignoring the destruction and decline their activities cause..
Of course WE is a non issue for the Uni-Party,the government media and the parasitic overload.
Only taxpayers would be concerned.
From the perspective of a tax taker,WE is a glorious example of “How to do business”.
If we cannot figure this out,we deserve to keep being conned and robbed by these parasites..
“Enjoy the decline”?
Bingo John —- well said!!
Our political system is badly broken!!! Trudeau has had multiple scandals that would have brought down any normal democratic government! The blatant disregard for honesty in this government is ignored as Rex Points out!
My favourite Professor Dr. Hayden use to say, There will be no revolution as long. as there is food on the table!” We in the West have come from pioneer values and are hardened by the cold Prairie winds! But we have endured enough lies, dishonesty and out right corruption and I say to Hell with bullshit country!
Dam it is time to rid our selves of this corrupt government and separate!
My Grandfather and his brother fought at Vimy ——–I can only imagine how disgusted they would be to see what Canada has become!
China Patty stated during a panel at the Liberal cult convention, that is was a good thing the Liberals were in power at the start of the pandemic. Yeah, tell that to all the people who died.
We have only one recourse to deal with the WE scandal, vote Trudeau and his gang out of Office. There’s zero chance of that happening with the dumb electorate in this country and they know it.
“There’s zero chance of that happening with the dumb electorate in this country and they know it.”
Yup. Canadians keep voting for thieving Liberals, commie Indeepers, or ball-less Conservatives. They all lead to the same cesspool. Dumb indeed.
one day the word “liberal” will be commonly used to describe crooks and scammers, and various criminals
just as Philistine ( an ancient people ) became a word to describe materialistic people who did not care about refined things.
liberals ( leftists, democrats etc ) are not really into politics, they are into making themselves rich trough scams. But of course being in a position of power ( mayor, minister etc ) makes that easier for them.
You need to move west or rural, liberal already means crook
Justinovitch thinks ‘Canadough’ is his personal bank account since he was six years old when his Papa, another Prime Inkster, took him to Canada’s Artic to visit ‘Santa Claus’. That is why he had to have the job, to keep the cash flowing. The eulogy at the old man’s funeral was all about, well, mostly himself.
YES, and during the televised eulogy my wife predicted he would be PM one day.
“NO WAY!!!!!”, I laughed.
Well, I’m not laughing now.
Well I thought so too, like your wife. Anyone who starts out a eulogy with, “Friends, Romans, Countrymen,” has delusions of grandeur. He exemplifies that every day, right down to the many different colored wigs that he wears. Thinks he’s A GIFT to women.
Liz J ….I agree … there is little hope for Canada with so many ignorant low information voters casting ballots . All one has to do is look to the south and realize that America voted for a complete moron . Is it just me or do you find that the Trump haters within your group are so silent now …not a word . Canada and the USA will never survive and their enemies know it . China could not be happier .

A couple of angles here: During the first years of the liberal government approx $5M was given to WE and $500K was channeled to the Trudeaus. What is the kickback for $912M?
Secondly was Trudeau feathering his nest for the post political career? – note that the libs are already introducing his successor so even they know he can’t last forever. A seat on the board of WE, a couple of environmental groups, alternative energy companies, a handful of foundations, a few UN assignments, all of who have benefited from ‘our’ generosity, all adds up into a nice nest egg courtesy of the taxpayer.
And again I note how quickly commentators turn from criticizing Trudeau to criticizing O’Toole. No one has ever won by attacking themselves. Focus people – focus
