    COMMUNIQUÉ Volume 27, Issue 30 July 28, 2020 WE Scandal Highlights the PM’s Ethical Incoherence Rod Taylor Leader, CHP Canada There are limits to public credulity and tolerance for blatantly reckless behaviour with public funds. The failed attempt by Prime Minister Trudeau to funnel $43.5 million of taxpayer money to his friends at the WE Charity Foundation fell outside those limits. The optics were bad. The amounts were staggering. The lies uttered to cover it up were appalling. This was not simply a Prime Minister’s error in judgment. This was a campaign to divert public funds into behind-the- scenes partisan grooming. The idea of passing nearly a billion dollars ($912 million, to be exact) into the hands of a charity connected with the Liberal brand raises questions on its face. Investigators have also discovered that the since- aborted contract to administer $912 million was not even made directly with WE Charity but with the WE Charity Foundation, a separate (sort of) charity that has only been registered for just over a year. It has no significant assets and no proven track record; it appears the reason for using a separate charity was to minimize liability risk for We Charity.1 The fact that the WE Charity Foundation would have pocketed about $43.5 million for distributing the rest of the money makes one blink hard, especially when Canada already has an army of civil servants who have proven themselves quite capable of handing out taxpayers’ money. Side-stories, new angles and “footnotes-of-interest” seem to be sprouting up all along the trail.

  • REFUGE a Film by Alexandre Trudeau and Jonathan Pedneault
    1 MEDIA EDUCATION F O U N D A T I O N 60 Masonic St. Northampton, MA 01060 | TEL 800.897.0089 | [email protected] | www.mediaed.org REFUGE a film by alexandre trudeau and jonathan pedneault Transcript ALEX (Voice-Over): How easy it is to forget that Canadians are born into the top one percent of the world’s population. The people of Darfur are born into the opposite extreme: the bottom one percent of humankind. The children of Darfur are stuck in the camps of eastern Chad and southwestern Sudan. They number in the millions. Nowhere is a claim to a prosperous, healthy future more uncertain than for these children. The people of Darfur live on the brink, at the very edge of survival. One wrong turn of events and they will fall. For five years now, we have been hearing about Darfur. Colin Powell: Genocide has been committed, in Darfur. ALEX (V.O.): The Sudanese government, we hear, has been conducting a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the already desperately poor inhabitants of the harsh region. China, we are told, has been supplying money and political protection to the Sudanese regime in Khartoum in exchange for stakes in the country’s oil while, the Janjaweed, nomadic Arabic tribes armed with automatic weapons have provided the muscle. By the millions, the people have fled into camps in Darfur and Chad. But what exactly is happening there now? In July 2007, a young man came to me with precisely that idea of a mission to Darfur. A high-school student, Jonathan Pedneault, had been giving conferences about the horrors of genocide.
