Breaking: Resignations of Board of Directors for Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation

[Gone_Fishin]

Pathetic indeed.

These Liberals are desperate scam artists caught in a corruption scandal that exposes them for the pure rot within their party.

PATHETIC: Former Liberal Minister Allan Rock Tries Blaming Pierre Poilievre For Chaos At Trudeau Foundation


Rock’s remarks are an absolute disgrace and show the contempt the Liberal elites have for the Canadian People.
Let’s consider what has happened to the Trudeau Foundation this week.

First, the entire board of directors along with the President & CEO resigned.

The Foundation then said the resignation was due to the “politicization” of the boards work.

Then, it turned out that explanation was false, and it was an internal fight over a massive Communist-China linked donation that led to the chaos and resignations.

Then, it was discovered that the donation wasn’t actually returned.

Then, we found out that Justin Trudeau’s brother was one of the signatories to the agreement that led to the donation.
After the initial resignations, Justin Trudeau tried blaming the Conservatives, while Gerald Butts blamed the media. This fell apart within a day, as it turned out to be the Trudeau Foundation itself that fell into dysfunction – something that can’t be blamed on outside sources.

And yet, former Liberal cabinet minister Allan Rock – who oversaw the start of the Trudeau Foundation (with generous taxpayer funding of course), is still trying to blame Pierre Poilievre for it:
“My views about the shameful, ignorant and malicious attacks by Pierre Poilievre on the Trudeau Foundation. He doesn’t care what he damages or destroys as long as he scores cheap points in the partisan arena.”

Absolutely pathetic

Let’s not mince words here:

Allan Rock’s remarks are absolutely pathetic, and are a disgrace.

Did Pierre Poilievre make the Trudeau Foundation take a $200,000 donation connected to Communist China?

Nope.

Did Pierre Poilievre tell the Trudeau Foundation to go along with letting that donation appear to have come from a less controversial donor?

Nope.

Did Pierre Poilievre tell the Trudeau Foundation to be connected to individuals who are supporters of the Chinese Communist Party?

Nope.

Did Pierre Poilievre tell Justin Trudeau’s brother to sign the agreement for the donation?

Nope.

Did Pierre Poilievre tell the Trudeau Foundation to ignore the board members who wanted a real investigation of the donation?

Nope.

The Trudeau Foundation’s problems have nothing to do with Pierre Poilievre. All he’s doing is talking about those problems.

Again we see the same disturbing behaviour from Liberals like Trudeau, Butts, and Rock. They blame people for talking about problems while ignoring those actually responsible for the problems.

To make such an absurd argument – and blaming Poilievre for the Trudeau Foundation chaos is incredibly stupid – Rock shows immense contempt for the Canadian People. He must think we are idiots to fall for such a transparently false claim.

Canada has to move beyond the pathetic attitude shown by people like Allan Rock. Canadians deserve far better than to be treated with such contempt and condescension.

GB, do you have the same suspicions as I, that new Trudeau Foundation board members could include Bill Rice and Patrick MacDonald?

There must be some reward in store for those who make complete jackasses of themselves professing undying love of everything Trudeau!

Their cause would be greatly supported if they also spent time in the Laurentians with David Johnson, or had a brother or sister married to a cabinet minister.

True that!

It pays to have friends in high places, and no one is as high as the pothead Justin Trudeau.

Run-of-the-mill Trudeau fart catchers without connections just might not make the cut to land a cushy job with the Trudeau Foundation, where the only real skill to have is being able to hide Chinese communists' "donations" by falsifying records and then "forgetting" who gave them the bribes in the first place.

Is anyone surprised that the mega-corrupt Liberals and their jelly-spined cowardly allies the NDP voted down any sort of investigation into the heinous behavior at the PET Foundation?

Committee probe into 'dishonest conduct' at Trudeau Foundation voted down by Liberals, NDP

OTTAWA – An attempt by the Conservatives to have a parliamentary committee undertake a study aimed at “getting to the bottom of dishonest conduct and attempted foreign interference” of the Trudeau Foundation was voted down by the Liberals and the NDP on Monday.

Conservative MP Garnett Genuis was hoping to call on former foundation presidents Morris Rosenberg and Pascale Fournier to testify on the foundation’s governance and funding in relation to a controversial donation with possible ties to the Chinese government. He also wanted to call the three directors who remain on the board on an interim basis following the mass resignation of directors and executives last week, and several other witnesses.

The resignations followed leaks to the media by security sources that a large donation to the foundation in 2016 by businessman Zhang Bin had been secretly arranged and backed by the communist regime in Beijing. It was intended as part of a Chinese-influence campaign targeting Justin Trudeau, who was then on a political track to the prime minister’s office. A report by Montreal newspaper La Presse last week anonymously quoted directors saying they were quitting over a failure to refund the money to Zhang and the “ethical” behaviour of the foundation.

“It is becoming clear that there was, from the beginning, a concerted effort by the Xi Jinping regime to co-opt and shape the direction of this Liberal government and that those efforts targeted Justin Trudeau even before he took office,” said Genuis in presenting his motion to the standing committee on public accounts Monday morning.

NDP MP Blake Desjarlais pointed out that the Trudeau Foundation itself has said it would welcome an investigation by Auditor General Karen Hogan into the donation, and that Hogan would be best placed to prepare this audit in lieu of the committee members.

Desjarlais suggested finding another way for the committee to support such an audit, through amendments or with another motion altogether. Liberal MP Peter Fragiskatos then requested a vote to end the debate on Genuis’s motion, which passed with a majority of votes thanks to his party and the NDP. The Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois voted to pursue the debate.

“This is done for now. You’re welcome to bring it forward to another committee,” the Conservative chair of the committee, John Williamson, told Genuis after the vote.

The Trudeau Foundation is a government institution that uses taxpayers’ money AND a family foundation with protected positions for the Trudeau family. It took massive contributions from Beijing-connected sources and misled the public about what happened next.

Halfway through, this is going to fun to follow

Some on here have stated that this Foundation is clear of political interference.
Not so.
The Foundation’s membership is limited to thirty Members. Six seats are reserved for Members appointed by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (“ISED”)

Hey Justin, why don't you and your ing disgusting bloodline (you too Margaret, didn't forget the disgusting part you played in this spawning exercise) grab as much cash out of the foundation now and snort your way to oblivion? Feel free to do the black-face thing you are so comfortable with as a parting gift!

Trudeaus rang in New Year at luxury Jamaica estate owned by Trudeau Foundation donors


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family rang in the New Year in Jamaica at an estate belonging to a family that made a large donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation two years ago.

The estate, home to five luxury villas, is owned by Peter Green’s family, whose relationship to the Trudeaus dates back to the ’70s, reports CBC .

Though the trip was approved by the ethics commissioner, it’s not clear if the Prime Minister’s Office and the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner were aware of the donor relationship at the time.

Speaking in the House of Commons last month, Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus noted that the Prime Minister billed Canadian taxpayers $160,000 for the trip , which ran from Dec. 26 to Jan. 4.

Several unnamed sources told CBC they were concerned about the optics of such a trip at a time when many Canadians are struggling to stay atop of growing expenses as inflation surges, and that support for the trip within the PMO was not unanimous.

The total cost of the trip for taxpayers was at least $162,000, including more than $115,000 related to RCMP security. Sources told CBC that some government employees who made the trip stayed at all-inclusive hotels near the Prospect estate, which was purchased by the late father-in-law of Peter Green in the 1930s.

Stays at the estate can reach upwards of $7,000 a night during peak season, and each villa offers a personal concierge and private beach or swimming, according to the Prospect Estate website .

Pierre Trudeau, who was godfather to Peter Green’s son, Alexander, stayed at the estate for the first time during an official visit to Jamaica in 1975, during his first term as Prime Minister.

In 2021, The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation announced the introduction of the “ Mary-Jean Mitchell Green | Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholarship.”

“Thanks to the generosity of Alexander and Andrew Green, this year’s cohort of Scholars will include one additional member, chosen based upon the Foundation’s selection criteria and to be announced as part of the 2021 cohort this spring,” the foundation said in a news release.

Trudeau's Jamaica vacation shows 'lack of judgment,' opposition leaders say


Opposition leaders slammed what they called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "lack of judgment" Tuesday after it was revealed he spent his Christmas vacation at the Jamaica home of a wealthy donor to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

Radio-Canada reported that Trudeau vacationed at Prospect, a "luxurious estate" with seaside villas owned by the Green family. Alexander and Andrew Green made a large donation to the foundation in 2021 to establish a scholarship in memory of their mother.

The Jamaica trip cost taxpayers roughly $160,000 because of travel-related security and personnel costs. The French-language arm of the CBC said some staff were also put up at a nearby all-inclusive resort, which cost the federal treasury.

Trudeau was reprimanded by Canada's ethics commissioner over a 2016 vacation to the Aga Khan's private island in the Bahamas — another trip that saddled taxpayers with the tens of thousands of dollars in costs that come when the prime minister travels abroad.

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said it's not enough that Trudeau had the Jamaica trip pre-approved by the ethics commissioner.

Blanchet said the trip raises questions about Trudeau's capacity to lead the country.

"He didn't hear the little voice saying to him, 'Maybe you shouldn't do this,'" Blanchet said.

The heat is rising

The en-masse resignations from the Trudeau Foundation recently, while embarrassing for the prime minister, at least follows the narrative. With reports that a 2016 donation tied to Beijing, which was to be refunded but couldn’t be because they weren’t sure who actually donated it, emerged, the fallout began. Members explained that the “political climate” had made their positions untenable. Our beleaguered PM, while not pleased will obviously understand. Anything they could do to turn down the ‘temperature’ on his clearly compromised government is good, as long as they just don’t follow the ‘Green’.
