WE Charity offered camps up to $25K each to recruit volunteers for Liberal grants

On a recording obtained by National Post of a June 12 video call between WE Charity and over 100 attendees, mostly from summer camp organizations, co-founder Marc Kielburger explained that he was looking for camps who can help WE Charity “move a reasonable volume” of volunteers.
 
“If your non-profit camp that could potentially move a reasonable volume of young people, and that for us is about 75-plus young people throughout the summer … there are additional funds that we can provide to you up to $25,000 towards your administration of that towards the camp,” Kielburger explained to attendees of the meeting. […]
 
In addition to $25,000 grants to camps who welcomed at least 75 volunteers, WE Charity promised in a posting on its website earlier this week to pay $12,000 to any teacher who recruited at least 75 student volunteers…

In other words, they were going to buy volunteers before paying them.

PLEASE FORGET YOU EVER SAW OUR SLEAZE: WE Charity won’t be managing Student Grant program, says Minister Chagger’s office.

From the comments;

Yesterday I mentioned that Marc Kielburger sat as a director for two entities. The first turns out to be ME to WE Styles, Inc., a private company that consisted of one clothing store in Toronto. The store went under during the Wuhan quarantine. The second is Prince s Charities Canada, a charity of Prince Charles. It is legit, even though, well, the Prince is not.
 
I did find out that brother Craig Kielburger has two numbered companies, which can be seen here.

 
According to Wiki, numbered companies in Canada have numbers assigned to them from Industry Canada, if the person wants his corporations as a numbered company. There are essentially two reasons for them The first is that the entrepreneur is holding the company until he can find a good brand name for the company. The other is for tax avoidance or money laundering reasons, etc. Note that brother Craig s numbered companies are now four years old. […]
 

Here is some info on 14 Candlelight Drive, Richmond Hill, ON, where Craig Kielburger s two numbered companies are based: https://richmond-hill.listing.ca/14-candlelight-dr.htm

 
According to the above link, the house is valued at $1.9-million. It would be interesting to see who owns this house.

Bumped for update.

WE Charity co-founder said PMO ‘called’ to award $900M student-grant program, contradicting Trudeau … Trudeau has maintained that the contract was handled by government bureaucrats.

    Original post below.

Oh.

WE Charity, which has close ties to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family — and which will receive millions of dollars to administer a federal student volunteer grant program — has received a series of exclusively sole-source contracts from the federal government over the last three years, government records show. Sole-source contracts are government contracts that are handed directly to a chosen supplier, without the opportunity for others to provide competing bids for the government business.

Update: National Post has more.

According to the government’s online database of government contracts, WE Charity has received five federal contracts worth a total of $120,000 since March 2017. Four of the five contracts have been in the last 15 months, with the most recent — and largest, until now, at $40,000 — dated January 2020. […] The contracts were for vague services such as “Management consulting”, “Public relations services” and, in three cases, “Other professional services not otherwise specified,” according to the data, first brought to light by writer and activist Nora Loreto on social media over the weekend.
 

Purely coincidental: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday he would begin scaling back his daily press briefings

Huh. There are accusations about WE Charity. I have no idea if it’s legitimate, but the Kielburger kid always struck me as creepy.

The Libranos are Alive & Well

Marwan Tabbara, a Kitchener South—Hespeler MP is facing multiple charges after he was arrested on April 10 in Guelph, Ontario.

A spokesperson from the Prime Minister’s Office told Global News, “we are looking into the matter.”

NDP MP Charlie Angus, who said he was “floored” by Tabbara’s arrest, called for standards in cases where MPs are facing criminal charges.

“We don’t know the case. We don’t know what the details are. And this is something to be dealt with in the courts,” said Angus, the party’s ethics critic.

“But we really need to establish standards in Parliament that if somebody is under suspicion and under charges, they have to step aside from their duties and the prime minister needs to send a very clear message that there is a zero-tolerance policy in place when people are charged with such serious crimes or any crimes.”

“A $50 million class action lawsuit was launched against Revera earlier this month on behalf of the families of COVID-19 victims at the company’s long-term care facilities in Ontario. The company is being sued for negligence and breach of contract.
 
The plaintiffs allege the facilities lacked “proper sanitation protocols and adequate testing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
 
The statement of claim also alleges Revera did not properly inform residents or families of any measures it was taking to keep its facilities safe. The allegations against Revera have not been tested in court and the application still needs to be certified by a judge.
 
Another $25-million class-action lawsuit has been filed against Revera over its operation of the McKenzie Towne Continuing Care Centre in Calgary, where COVID-19 killed 21 residents and infected 63 others as well as 44 employees. The suit, which has not been certified, alleges the company was negligent and did not follow proper protocols to prevent the outbreak.
 
PSP Investments reports to Parliament through Treasury Board President Jean-Yves Duclos, who ultimately is responsible for the Crown corporation.
 
The company’s board of directors is appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet through orders in council.”

The Libranos: Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste

Blacklocks (paywalled);

Cabinet is concealing thousands of pandemic records including details of contracts and ministerial memos. Cabinet in one case breached a direct order from the Commons health committee to disclose briefing notes, while the Library of Parliament has refused to disclose files it admits are public documents: “They were not so busy that they could not busy themselves with redacting the documents.”

To help secure a seat, Canada be expected to give ‘several hundred million’ to the African Union

The COVID-19 pandemic ended the secret handshakes and deal-making in the world’s power corridors, but Canada’s campaign for a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council is full steam ahead.
 
Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and International Development Minister Karina Gould confirmed the continuing campaigning in separate interviews with The Canadian Press this past week. […]
 
Champagne and Gould say that Canada’s international stature has grown because of its response to the COVID-19 outbreak, which so far includes a $50-million foreign aid package, but some ex-diplomats say Canada needs to spend more in that area to win votes.
