Tories want probe of deal

Tories ask auditor general to probe 'outsourcing' of $900M student aid program

The federal Conservatives are calling for an investigation into the Liberal government's decision to have an international charity administer a $900-million program designed to help students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The request is contained in a letter sent to Auditor General Karen Hogan on Sunday in which the Tories argue that "outsourcing" the Canada Student Service Grant to WE Charity undermines Parliament's ability to monitor the aid program.

The Conservatives also noted the "well documented" connections between WE and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as they underscored the importance of transparency, accountability and value for money in Ottawa's COVID-19 spending.

"By outsourcing this program to a third party, the proper channels for Opposition scrutiny, the very bedrock of our parliamentary democracy, have been circumvented," reads the letter signed by Conservative MPs Pierre Poilievre, Dan Albas and Raquel Dancho.

"Indeed, it is your office that will provide the most legitimate and transparent examination of this program."

Bam! And there it is.


WE Charity co-founder said PMO 'called' to award $900M student-grant program, contradicting Trudeau


OTTAWA – A co-founder of WE Charity claimed in a June 12 conference call that the Prime Minister’s Office contacted the organization directly in April to help implement a federal student volunteer grant program worth over $900 million. WE Charity is set to collect at least $19.5 million in fees to administer the program, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has faced questions over his and his family’s close links to WE Charity and how the contract was awarded.

Trudeau has maintained that the contract was handled by government bureaucrats. But in a recording of a video conference with various Canadian youth organizations obtained by the National Post, WE Charity co-founder Marc Kielburger told attendees that his organization was asked directly by the Prime Minister’s Office to help implement the new Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) the day after it was first announced on April 22. When asked about the comment Tuesday, WE Charity told National Post that Kielburger “misspoke” and was never in contact with the PMO regarding the grant program. On Tuesday, the PMO also denied asking WE Charity to administer the CSSG.

The Prime Minister’s Office kindly called us and said, ‘you know that announcement we just made? Would you be interested in helping us actually implement it?'

Some schools teachers in my community used to take a bus load of students to the WE Day shows when they first started out, they’d have music performances, and guest speakers such as Jane Goodall and the Dalai Lama etc, apparently the show’s were somewhat entertaining and informative. However after the third year it became blatantly obvious that WE Day had become nothing more than a political movement, a cult in fact, so now school district 73 no longer sends bus loads of its students to the annual WE Day show in Vancouver.

Yes Hurt. I've heard this from many others as well. Total cult. Not surprised to see the UN loving global elitist Trudeaus in bed with this evil scum.

So, it's now revealed that the WE Charity will fund 450 of its own positions with this money, contrary to what Justin Trudeau has been claiming.

And, how many of these students will be directed to digitally influence on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada?


We Charity offers 450 ‘virtual volunteering’ positions at own organization while running $900-million grant program


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said WE will not receive a profit and that the charity was recommended by the public service as the only organization that could administer the program. However, Lori Turnbull, director of the school of public administration at Dalhousie University, said the number of positions WE is offering raises questions.

“The way that Trudeau is defending this and the way that the organization is defending this is to say we’re not making any money from this. … We’re doing this because it’s the right thing, because we are set up to do it, but there’s nothing in it for us, per se,” she said in an interview with The Globe and Mail. “But as you see, the bit about so many jobs going back to the organization, well, that claim is then undermined.”

Silly me, I stupidly thought that Trudeau wanted to pay students to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or students volunteering to do yard work for seniors, or joining volunteer fire departments etc.... ANYONE that thinks Trudeau giving the WE Organization $900,000,000.00 is a good idea, is seriously unhinged..

Hmm coulda sworn we had a shortage of farm workers on top of many of them being infected with covid. Would it be safe to say that it would be cruel and inhumane for liberal “volunteers” to help with crops? How foolish of me to assume that they could be placed anywhere that would help the farmers and the country.

How unfair would that be for all those liberal bought and paid for students to have to leave there parents basement , put down there video games, tablets and go out get there hands dirty and earn a pay check .

Trudeau's charity scandal latest evidence he thinks rules don't apply to him


When people talk about the "elites," a key aspect of criticism is that we are ruled by people who think they should be able to apply the rules on us, but that the rules shouldn’t apply to them.

And Justin Trudeau sums up that attitude more than any Canadian politician in recent memory.

From lecturing Canadians on feminism and racism while having his own serious problems, to accusing his opponents of dividing the country while demonizing everyone who disagrees with him, Trudeau has made a career out of telling people to follow rules that he feels exempted from.

The latest example is the growing WE charity scandal, where the Liberals outsourced a huge government project to a charity with super-close ties to the prime minister and his wife.

It’s the kind of thing that almost nobody could get away with, and something the government would certainly punish any of us for doing. Yet, for Trudeau, he seems to think it’s totally okay.

Why would he think that? Most likely, it’s because he’s emboldened after many of his recent scandals.

After all, neither his mistreatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould, nor his blackface debacle ended his career, despite things far less serious having ended the careers of countless politicians before him.

With the establishment media doing his bidding and acting as an extended propaganda arm for the Liberal Party, Trudeau clearly feels that there is no accountability for him anymore, and that he can get away with basically anything.

Add to that to a lifetime of being the "son of the PM," and Trudeau has likely rarely been told "no," and rarely been held accountable.

Any of these things would have resulted in the Conservatives being absolutely decimated by the media, but with the $600 million media buy-out by the Liberals continuing to influence, corrupt, and subvert coverage, independent media and the common sense of the Canadian people are the last remaining bastions of truth in these disturbing times.

Admission of guilt?

Or only guilty because he got caught again?

Oh Justin, you suck.
