With all that has come to light about the shady dealings, financial irregularities, forced employee NDAs, firing of the chair and then the entire board by WE it is simply beyond belief that no one in the entire liberal government thought to simply google the so-called charity whilst doing their so-called 'due diligence'. If this is the way entities are investigated by this government, I wonder how many other under-the-table deals are going on right now with no oversight what-so-ever.

Maybe the problem is that they did Google it, and they decided that's the kind of corporation that they want to do business with. It does look like something straight out of the Liberal playbook. Funny thing about socialists, they elect a guy like Trudeau because he talks a good game, and then when it's proven that he's less trustworthy than a fox in a henhouse, they still want to funnel all the money in the country through his sticky little fingers because they still like listening to him.

Just found out Craig Kielburger's parents are teachers and Toronto real estate investors. Now WE buying and selling all the properties makes sense: "Fred and Theresa Kielburger were determined to give their children advantages they’d never had. They worked hard, both as teachers and as strategic investors in Toronto’s hot real estate market. Their efforts paid off. By gradually buying one home after another, living in each, renovating them and selling them for a profit, they were able to build a comfortable life for themselves and their children." http://canadian-living-front.backend.prod.qmicube.net/life-and-relationships/community-and-current-events/article/two-teachers-who-helped-their-kids-start-a-movement And this from a recent news story: "The transactions associated with WE entities acquiring various pieces of property are sometimes complex. In one instance, a numbered company registered to Fred and Theresa Kielburger, the parents of Marc and Craig, sold a building directly to the ME to WE Foundation for $2.6 million." https://nationalpost.com/news/property-brothers-kielburgers-facing-scrutiny-over-we-organizations-50m-real-estate-empire Uhhm...are the property-flipping parents making money from WE charity? Sounds like they did. Sounds like a conflict of interest.

Canada just basically deferred the pain. Economic pain now or economic pain later paying back the debt (with interest). People have to eat, but the full economic effects of this won't be felt for a long time. No matter what we do, this pandemic is an economic disaster.

Have to disagree with that, he`s a good MP and great at his job. Sure he`s a pit bull when it comes to investigating corruption and lack of ethics etc. but after asking a question 4 times and getting no answer 4 times, he gets testy. He knows his stuff, in fact he has a real talent. Not a bad idea to see PMs and cabinet questioned like this more often. And - required to answer. I

Polievre is excellent at this kind of thing.

Boy, does he ever wrap himself up with the covid flag!

So Trudeau says they don't know the burger Brothers but their wives host a podcast together Partnership and exec files being taken out of WE offices early this morning as per Joe Warmngton

All these people are assholes. Anyone marching around acting like he's on patrol in 'Nam needs some therapy. One of these days someone is going to make a mistake, and given these people are, as I said, insecure/poorly adjusted assholes, that's likely to cause a lot of damage. They are a product, all of them, of a media which thrills to violence and confrontation, and which seems to be doing everything in its power to cheer it on, and some crappy, stupid, self-centered politicians at all levels who care about nothing and no one but themselves. That mess in Portland was an excellent example of this. Trump sent federal agents in mostly to make himself seem like a tough, law-and order guy, instead of an incompetent degenerate. He prodded people - notably the unwashed herd of vacuous progressives in Portland - to treat them as his representatives. Of course that brought them all out baying and screeching. Then the morons from the Democratic Party joined in to urge on more violence, calling them 'gestapo' and 'secret police' and 'stormtrooopers' and saying the were 'occupying Portland' and violating the constitution. Everyone from the moron who's mayor of Portland, to the shrill, stupid governor of Oregon, to Nancy "they're stormtroopers!" Pelosi did their very best to provoke violence in hopes of profiting from it politically. Scores of federal agents have been hurt in the nightly melees outside that court house while the media and Democrats gasped in horror at the thought of "unmarked cars" as if every police department in America didn't have masses of unmarked cars and agents and police in plainclothes. The media and the politicians on both sides disgust me.

What seems to be missing from your twisted logic is any importance being placed on the people who will have to PAY all of that money and the interest bills that go with it.

Exactly. I come from a long line of people who worked hard and built this country and it's not ok for some mouthy losers to come along and act like they were some kind of troglodytes that we need to be ashamed of. My last name isn't Trudeau.

People like him say things like "the old stock Canadians are being flushed out" and then are amazed that anyone might object to this. Or that it might cause a backlash and make those 'old stock' Canadians oppose things like immigration.

Saying "Old stock Canadians" is no more appropriate than saying nigger you racist piece of garbage.

And what changes has Floyd wrought? Made white liberals feel even more guilty about their skin color? Emboldened the far left? Gotten some crappy local governments to cut the budgets of police departments? Gotten lots and lots of people murdered as police pull back from minority areas? I can't see anything to date which has been positive from the Floyd mess.

Views which dispute the transgender activists and their view that trans-women should have total equality with real women in all areas of society are NOT controversial among 90% of the population. The problem is that the very loud activists and their supporters in academia and media have settled on a narrative which excludes, ignores and vilifies the opinion of everyone else. I already presented a case where two academics are discussing their opposition to the current identity politics narrative (posted on the youtube topic) and then discuss the ramification to their careers they worry about, what has happened to other academics, who ran afoul of the identity brigade. Poor choice of example. Ms. was a new word invented to be unspecific about a woman's marital status. And yet that has not happened.
