Just how much corruption exists in this federal government?

I've been saying for some time now that one of the most corrupt practices of the government is the awarding of hundreds of millions of dollars to lobby and activist groups, which in turn support government ideological aims and urge their followers to vote Liberal come elections. Every environmental group, every poverty activist group, every pro-drug group, every ethnic, racial, religious group and festival gets a payout from the Liberals, almost none of which is tracked. This is the first time I've seen anyone in the mainstream media deigning to mention it in any depth.

All those trans groups, LGBT groups, climate activist groups, legal challenge groups, Muslim activist groups, they're all paid by the federal government.

It's not just hundreds of millions. And it's not just the activist groups, a lot of the experts that are hired independently to do research for the government or to do independent fact-finding or reports etc are actually partisan friends of the government. I believe the current budget for that is 50 billion dollars this year alone

So how this works Is that all these charities around the world I'm here at home get this money for free, and expert consulting firms are hired to do studies that say this money was well spent, and all of these groups will have the Prime Minister and other people from the cabinet and government sit on their board of directors and do absolutely nothing and each will pay $100,000 or $200,000 a person for this to happen. This is how they return the money that was given to them

After he left his government position with Britain, by the time he signed up to Canada carney was on the board of directors of over 200 companies just like that.

Even at 100,000 a year that starts to add up pretty quick.

It appears Carney and other Liberal MPs were lying when they said that cons were joining the Libs organically, after realizing the superior ideas Libs have and that they were NOT luring or bribing Cons to floor-cross.

Conservative MP for Vernon/Lake Country/Monashee, BC area, Scott Anderson, posted this yesterday:

It's important for my constituents to know that I, like others, have been approached by the Liberals and asked to cross the floor to join them. The Liberal Party of Canada is pulling out all the stops to lure Conservative Members of Parliament to cross the floor so they can have a majority and subject Canada to more years of economic and social malaise. With the complicity of the MSM they’ve promoted the myth that there is some kind of movement to turf our leader, and it's because they are afraid of Pierre Poilievre. They’d prefer a milquetoast Conservative leader and not a fighter who stands up to their lies and omissions.

 

To the Liberals who initiated this contact, let me say this:

 

Your headlines scream about great nation building projects, yet almost a year after getting Parliamentary approval there are no pipelines, no new mines, no energy corridor, and not one formal trade deal. Indeed, you haven’t even bothered presenting plans, because buried in the subtext below every headline are caveats that ensure nothing will ever be done. Simply put, you’ve done nothing but make empty promises, increase taxation, and throw billions away trying to entrench your power. What are you going to try to bribe the next Conservative MP with?

 

If broken promises were the only issue, it would be bad enough. But I sit across from you every day and see what most Canadians can't see when they watch CPAC. I watch you laugh when we Conservatives bring up the closed mills, the shuttered businesses, the seniors who have to choose between eating and rent. I watch your self-satisfied scoffs when we ask you to cut taxes and allow Canadians to flourish again. I see you, sitting across the aisle in designer suits paid for by a job that’s inflation proof and safe, smirking at those who have to try to scrape a living out of the economic desert you've created. I watch you boast about your handouts, your rental housing that never seems to materialize, your leader who shows up a few minutes a month for part of QP before jetting off in search of more pointless headlines. And you have the gall to say that our pleading for the little guy is “carping.” I'm frankly disgusted.

 

So no, I won't join your party. I have no intention of crossing the floor today, tomorrow or ever, regardless of what you offer me. It would be a betrayal of my constituents, a betrayal of the office to which I have been elected, and a betrayal of my own personal core beliefs.

 

It'll be a cold day in Hell before I even consider betraying my constituents, and you should probably stop asking because I will certainly advertise it every time you try.

Don't forget the billions of dollars per year paid to FN bands or groups.  It would be great to know exactly where every dollar went and whether the money actually went to help ordinary, individual FN people.

So you can continue to not know how mush money was spent on YOU PERSONALLY and feed more ammo to other haters that feel they're somehow being ripped off and have no responsibilities?

Nunavut MP says she won’t cross the floor to join Liberals at this point

Nunavut's MP says she has no plans right now to join the federal Liberal Party.

“I have decided at this point that I can't,” Lori Idlout told CBC News in an interview on Monday. “I've definitely been asked to consider it.”

The NDP MP would not say who specifically has asked her to consider crossing the floor, but said they include both Liberal Party members and some of her own constituents.

Interesting wording,"Can't", no plans "right now",   Sounds like she was at least a little tempted. I can totally understand that, Rebuilding the party is hard and it's always nicer to be part of the current government
