“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

BRIAN PECKFORD -- Trudeau Family Scandal ... ‘We’ Are All In This Together ...

We are all in this together ... has been the rallying cry for helping each other during the pandemic. Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau) has himself used the phrase.

 

Little did we know that there lurked nearby, really in our midst, another ‘WE”, this one more ominous. It seems clear now that the Trudeau family and the WE charity were very, very close.

 

And in and of its self, no problem. Until ... there is money changing hands, and involving our money, taxpayer’s money, money from our Federal Government.

 

It has now been revealed that the Trudeau family, mother, brother, wife have all been involved with the Charity. Mother and brother received over $300,000 in speaking fees from the Charity over the last four years. Meanwhile the Charity was getting contracts from the Government.

Global News reports:

 

‘Then on Thursday, WE Charity confirmed that the prime minister’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, had been paid a total of $312,000 for speaking at 28 WE events between 2016 and 2020. His brother, Alexandre Trudeau, was paid $40,000 for eight events in the 2017-18 academic year, according to the charity.’

 

The wife of the Prime Minister received fees from the Charity before Justin even became Prime Minister. And she currently hosts a podcast, for the charity, it is reported by various media.

 

And as we all know the PM‘s government had awarded a $900 million contract to the WE charity --  no tenders  ... just here you are, all yours!

 

A Conflict of Interest investigation is presently underway. But now the Opposition Conservatives are calling for a criminal investigation concerning the whole affair as the information of the extended family involvement became known.

 

The Opposition is referring to Criminal Code Section 121. A section titled "frauds on the government," says it's an offence for someone to give an elected official or any member of their family "a loan, reward, advantage or benefit of any kind as consideration for co-operation, assistance, exercise of influence or an act or omission in connection with the transaction of business with or any matter of business relating to the government."

 

It has been revealed that the PM did not recuse himself when the vote concerning the $900 million came before Cabinet.

 

This as all just too much ... especially when one considers that Justin Trudeau has already been found guilty four times by the Conflict of Interest/Ethics Commissioner for breaking our Conflict of Interest laws.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
