EDITORIAL ASSISTANT One thing that has never been the subject of serious dispute, though, is the way Christina Barile Iin which McGill reaches out to the world. We think it’s a good thing — no, a great ADVISORY BOARD thing — that our students come from 147 countries. It’s one of the qualities that Courtney Mullins, BCom’06 (Chair) make this University so distinct. Interacting with people who have had different Annmarie Adams, BA’81 experiences in life opens up your mind in a way that no textbook can. Christopher Buddle One of the feature articles in this issue focuses on the role that international Robert Emblem, BCom’86 students play at McGill. It’s more difficult to think of someone from another Carole Graveline, BA’75 Allan Johnson, BA’85 culture or another country as a vaguely threatening “other” when they’re sitting Gabrielle Korn next to you, laughing at the same cheesy jokes from your professor that you’re Adam Muscott, BCom’99, MBA’05 laughing at. As one student quoted in our story puts it, “You get to meet the Andy Nulman, BCom’83 person and not the stereotype.” Marc Weinstein, BA’85, BCL’91, LLB’91 According to recent rankings from Times Higher Education, McGill is among DESIGN the world’s most international universities — we came in 23rd. The rankings look Steven McClenaghan, Graphic Design at the proportion of international students and staff at each institution and the Communications and External Relations number of internationally co-authored publications they produce.

    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.
