The We scandal is a dead story now.

If you look on CTV, our 6,000 covid cases still dominate the page and there's not a single mention of We. 

Actually, CTV  has mentioned several times and indeed covered part of the committee hearings being held today.  This isn't dead by a long shot, WCM.  And, the little potato still awaits his appearance before the ethics committee.   

So far the Clerk of the Privy Council has thrown Telford under the bus for not making sure the little potato recused himself as was her duty as his special advisor or whatever the hell her useless title is; all but exonerated the PSC for their stellar vetting of WE; and has admitted that he had no personal knowledge of the financial regularities surrounding WE in spite of the fact that the MSM had reported such as early as 2019.  He also admitted that in spite of the fact that this program was all about financing a program, no one bothered to check the finances of the charity solely chosen to deliver it.  One might be forgiven for thinking that it would be a no brainer to check and see how well the charity was handling their own finances considering the millions at stake.........but no.  Wasn't that important apparently. 

With the intervention of the Committee Chair that slimy sycophant Chaggar was forced to admit that she did indeed meet with one of the K brothers regarding the program - a clear conflict of interest and explains why until the Chair intervened she had refused to answer a yes or no question posed by every member of the Opposition present regarding the meeting.  Chaggar being the minister in charge of making sure all the proper vetting was done on WE - and failed miserably to do so, and who was already handing out money to the charity long before it actually got approval from cabinet.

Good to know. I guess they were just completely ignoring it for a couple of days.

The more levels down the ladder that they can find a fall guy, the better for Trudeau, but in all honesty, I doubt that any Canadians believe his sad explanation of "I merely failed to recuse myself."

Is this part sarcasm? I don't understand how the vetting was stellar given all the things that are below:

That seems to be the opposite of 'vetted' lol.

I never even heard that name before. We're busy with work and we tried to get away for a night while e had a sitter lol.

I swear to god the Liberals and all their evil minions get Special Forces training in evading answers.

I see an attempt at the creation of a fall guy here by the Libs, placing her there to take the heat, but at the end of the day Canadians still know that Trudeau should have been aware of the fact that We gave his family half a million dollars. 

IMO this is way too big of a scandal that he should never be allowed to steer clear of it, but so was SNC.

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.

Corruption in Canada will never end until they the sheeple start to give a chit about what most of their traitorous politicians have been doing to them for decades now. Our dear comrade leaders have given us more taxes, more government, and taken away many of our freedoms but most Canadians do not seem to give a crap. Probably the reason for that is that the lying Canadian media tries to keep the people in a state of stupidity, panic and fear all the time over dumb azz things like Trump, global warming, and now this hoax Covid virus. I always say that when the lying media goes bonkers over things, like I just mentioned, the best thing to do is to ignore them completely. Go the opposite to what they are trying to push. Be and think like a leader, and stop trying to be a follower. What keeps those lying politicians, the lying media, and those so called health experts alive are the ones that they can get to follow them. "Woke" up.

That's right. Canadians don't care as long as they have the Canadian essentials in life- a hockey game, and a bottle of beer.And now they have what is essentially government-grown dope. Thanks to J. Trudeau:

The Liberal explanation that WE was all the idea of the bureaucrats and had nothing to do with them always seemed unlikely, and is now looking increasingly threadbare.

After the department reported back that WE Charity was the only group with the capacity to deliver the massive program in such a short timeframe, cabinet approved the proposal on May 22. Trudeau and Morneau have both apologized for not recusing themselves from that decision but have insisted that they were acting strictly on the recommendation of public servants.

Many of the documents support Trudeau’s version of events. But they also suggest that Youth Minister Bardish Chagger helped get WE Charity on her bureaucrats’ radar and political staff in Morneau’s office helped keep it there.

Hey @BubberMiley

Do you have any thoughts on the charity scandal?  Or do you only care what goes on with other countries leaders? 

Do you avoid all Trudeau corruption topics to pretend they don’t exist?  Just wondering.

[BubberMiley 390]

I think Trudeau should resign. I don't imagine you do because you have indicated there is no limit to the corruption you will tolerate.

You think he should resign?  Why do you have him on your profile?

To see how long it would take you to try and derail a topic by posting a picture of it. You are much easier to play than a fiddle.

But the Kielbergers should go to jail with Justin and his wife and mother. There's just no excuse for that

Between covid and now the prorogue for the We scandal, our parliament has had to hire a new caretaker just to get rid of the cobwebs:

Lets not forget all the bullshit thats been piling up on the liberals benches over the last couple of months....thats going to take some heavy equipment.

The Liberals spent much of their time this week stonewalling in an effort to hide their corruption from Canadians. Their barking seal MPs on two committees spent hours and hours filibustering to stop those committees from looking into the WE scandal again and getting information. One has to wonder just how much criminality was involved that they'd go to such lengths to hide it. How much money were Trudeau and Morneau's friends going to make off this, and how did they intend to repay the Liberals for their largess?

Selly's column also points out what a joke Trudeau's promise of parliamentary independence and open government were. His government is more secretive and more top-down than Harper's ever was.

Electoral reform remains Trudeau’s signature broken promise, if only because he broke it so flamboyantly, so insultingly, and at such great expense. But at least he felt the need to humour the proportional representation fans who fell for his grift, setting up a committee and pretending to be interested in its findings. His promise to fix access-to-information procedures and timelines, his “open by default” pledge, didn’t even get that. It got chucked behind a sofa and forgotten.

Yet here we are yeah these many months later and Chagger still holds her ministry.  No real surprise there as justdim must be close to reneging on his 'gender balanced cabinet.'  Plus she ticks a few boxes.

The Bloc and Conservatives are trying hard to have the hearings resumed by now that the NDP are in power there is little chance of that happening - to the detriment of democracy and our country.
