'Incredibly concerning': Rogers’ hiring of former Liberal industry minister slammed by opposition


Rogers announced Thursday that Bains, who served as minister of innovation, science and industry in the current Liberal government from 2015 until January 2021, would join the company as chief corporate affairs officer. The industry minister is responsible for the telecom sector, and Rogers is one of Canada’s big thee wireless providers.

(Ottawa) Justin Trudeau has been hammering for three weeks that there has been a wall between him and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation for 10 years, since he became leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. However, La Presse has learned that a joint activity of his ministry and the Foundation was held in 2016 in a room almost next to his office, on Parliament Hill.

"It's been a decade since I have had any direct or indirect involvement with this foundation and the decisions that are made there," said Mr. Trudeau several times in the House of Commons last week in response to questions from the Bloc Québécois.

But documents obtained by La Presse under the Access to Information Act indicate that a close link was maintained between the Prime Minister's Office and the foundation after Justin Trudeau came to power.

Indeed, these documents show that the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation organized, in April 2016, six months after the Liberals' victory, a round table on the links between pluralism, diversity and economic prosperity with the assistance of the Privy Council, the Prime Minister's Department, on the fourth floor of the Langevin Building. This building is located on Wellington Street in Ottawa, just in front of Parliament Hill, and it also houses the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

This round table brought together, in addition to the President and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, Morris Rosenberg, the deputy ministers of five different departments - the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Heritage, the Department of Innovation , Science and Industry, the Ministry of Employment and Social Development and the Ministry of Immigration – indicate the documents obtained by La Presse.

Given the corruption that was exposed that caused Bains to resign in disgrace in 2021, I think it's pretty easy to see what happened here:

Liberals: Hey, we'll approve this merger as long as you hire a bunch of our cronies...

Rogers: OK, which idiots, bozos, bums and losers from your crappy party do we have to hire now?

Liberals: Uh...well...we think enough time has gone by to ease the stink here so...Navdeep Bains...

Rogers: Woah woah woah are you serious? What are we supposed to hire that bum to do? Design crooked land deals for us?

Liberals: Just give him a nebulous title and a six figure salary. Don't worry, he's never going to actually show up for work any way.

Rogers: Ok, if that's the case...oh man we want this approval so bad....I guess we'll go with it, as much as it makes us very sick to be engaging in helping the Liberals continue their corrupt ways, argh...

Liberals: We knew you'd get on board. They always do.

It gets worse for Justin. If that's possible.

Two Federal Undersecretaries from the Privy Council Office also attended the 90-minute meeting, which began at 3 p.m. on Monday, April 11, 2016 in room 415 on the fourth floor – a room that is sometimes used by the Prime Minister's office.

One of the deputy ministers present, Ian Shugart (Employment and Social Development), became three years later, in 2019, the Clerk of the Privy Council – the big boss of the public service who provides the link between the Prime Minister's office minister and his cabinet and the various ministries. Mr. Shugart held this key position until he was appointed to the Senate by Justin Trudeau last October.

“Like entering the Vatican” The Prime Minister's Office occupies the first two floors of the Langevin Building, which in 2017 was renamed the Prime Minister and Privy Council Office due to Hector Langevin's role in establishing the residential school system for Indigenous people , at the end of the 19th century. The third floor of the building is reserved for the Deputy Prime Minister while the fourth floor is occupied by employees of the Privy Council Office.

“For the vast majority of people, entering the Langevin Building is like entering the Vatican. It doesn’t happen every day,” noted Dimitri Soudas, a former close associate of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper and now a political analyst on RDI’s Mordus de politique program.

I wonder, how many foundations in the country have access to a room in the Prime Minister's Building and also have access to five deputy ministers at the same time? There shouldn't be many.

“I wish I had another example of a foundation that had such access. Seems like preferential treatment for a foundation that had the name of the father of the current prime minister,” he added.

There's been some interesting french press only revelations the past couple of months.

Now that there's a meeting in the PMO building there's a whole host of new questions - what was the agenda and minutes of this meeting? Was the Chinese donation / or potential for such donations discussed? Why would five deputy ministers need to coordinate with the Trudeau Foundation? Were there any follow up communications and/or meetings? Is there a link between government and the elevated number of donations the Trudeau Foundation received?

Where there is smoke there is fire - and we're getting closer.

Yep, I'd put my money on that.

So now we have proof that the Trudeau Foundation was falsifying records to aid their Beijing donor in evading Canadian tax law.

It will be interesting to see the tie-in to the now famous meeting held in Justin Trudeau's office in 2016. Is that where direction was given to the Trudeau Foundation on how to disguise the ill-gotten monies?

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau Foundation so arrogant, it thought it was influencing China

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists he has “absolutely no intersection” with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the nonprofit uncannily mirrors the worst characteristics and impulses of his Liberal government. Chief among them, hubris.

On Tuesday, the foundation’s former president and CEO Morris Rosenberg testified in front of the House of Commons privacy and ethics committee about the now-infamous $200,000 donation it accepted with links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Rosenberg led the nonprofit at the time and would like MPs and Canadians to write off the controversy as little more than good old-fashioned naivete rather than reckless arrogance.

“Was that naïve at the time? In hindsight, probably it was naive,” said Rosenberg. “It’s not that we were naïve that we were dealing with people that were linked to the Chinese government, because just about everybody was. What we were naïve about was that we actually believed by dealing with them, that we would have soft power influence on them.”

The first part of his excuse — everyone was doing it, so we did, too — is better suited to a high school student caught by their parents with cigarettes than the head of a foundation endowed with $125 million of taxpayer dollars.

But more telling is his notion that sure, the CCP may have had nefarious intent, but the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and its stewards were such beacons of moral virtue, they could influence an authoritarian regime to embrace democratic values. In reality, the reverse was taking place as the CCP sought — and appears to have succeeded in some cases — to corrupt Canada’s democracy.

This same hubris is what led Liberals to intertwine themselves with CCP donors and contacts long after anyone paying attention to Beijing’s increasingly aggressive and subversive foreign tactics would’ve known they should run in the opposite direction.
