Questionable charities that Trudeau has given our tax money

[Anonymous]

Last week, a federal government response to an "order paper" question from Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant revealed that WE is not the only charity that has been handed your tax dollars.



The World Wildlife Fund, which was headed up by Justin Trudeau's friend and disgraced former Principal Secretary Gerry Butts from 2008 to 2012, has also been at the trough.



The WWF began as an ecological conservation charity, but it has long been in the control of eco-radicals whose goals include, among other things, crippling the oil and gas industry. It has taken grants from the Tides Foundation to do just that in Canada.



The response to MP Gallant's question reveals that the WWF received $1 million from Environment and Climate Change Canada, and that $40,000 of that actually ended up in Chile!



The WWF received $24,000 from Canadian Heritage to create streetscapes that "connect with nature" in Windsor, Ontario.



In what's probably the most outrageous example, the WWF received a total of $4-million from Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans for "consulting" on offshore oil and gas projects.



The WWF's position on offshore drilling, indeed on any oil and gas development, is well known to be emphatically negative. And the WWF received $4-million to deliver their pre-determined conclusions, which involved a whole lot of "no".



This is unacceptable on so many levels. It shows that the Trudeau government are a bunch of anti-oil climate alarmist radicals who are content to use your tax dollars to enrich their like-minded friends while they destroy the Canadian economy.



Enough.



Canada needs to stop funding organizations dedicated to undermining both our sovereignty and our resource industry.

So, Justin Trudeau gives our money to organizations who are dedicated to killing jobs in Canada.

Besides the fact that these prog "charities" are controlled by billionaires with agendas, and anyput they give is always pre-determined, they are corrupt to their core.

WWF is not a charity.

Why can't Ottawa run its own programs?



The question of why the Trudeau government keeps farming out pandemic relief work to organizations that contain prominent friends of the Liberal government leads to an even more fundamental question.



That is, why does the Trudeau government keep farming out this work at all, instead of doing it in-house with the vast legions of public servants at its command?



First, the Trudeau government decided it couldn't run a student summer jobs program, even though it has a student summer jobs program.



Instead, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau actively participating in and approving the decision, it farmed out a now cancelled, $500-million, sole-sourced contract with a $43.5 million management fee to the WE Charity, to create a summer jobs/volunteer program.



there are many personal and financial ties between the Trudeau family, the Kielburgers and WE.



They include Trudeau speaking at WE events for free and publicly endorsing the charity, Trudeau's mother and brother paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees and travel expenses by WE to appear at WE events, and the PM's spouse serving as a WE ambassador with her expenses paid.



Next up is an $84-million contract to manage the Trudeau government's Canada Emergency Commercial Rental Assistance program.



The government farmed that out to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., a Crown agency, which decided after an internal review to hand it over it to MCAP, a mortgage finance company, where Robert Silver, husband of Trudeau's chief of staff, Katie Telford, is a senior executive.

An entire category of organizations that have been funnelled huge amounts of your tax dollars since Justin Trudeau assumed power are climate alarmist eco-radical groups.



These groups push the false narrative of climate alarmism, actively lobby to cripple Canada's energy sector, and promote "green energy" subsidy scams that do nothing but cause energy prices to skyrocket.



Defund the following:



The World Wildlife Fund Canada

MakeWay (formerly Tides Canada)

Ecology Action Centre

Pollution Probe

Sierra Club Canada

The Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA)

The Canadian Urban Institute, and

Climate Action Network



Canadians shouldn't be expected to fund organizations that work to destroy their prosperity.



Defunding all of these groups and institutions is informed by two truly conservative principles: that fiscal responsibility is wise, and that groups working to undermine the Canadian economy should be vigorously opposed, not supported with tax dollars.

None of these rich prog pet charities needs working people's money. It's such a slap on the face that they use our money to put us out of work and make our energy unaffordable.

I don't like giving them my family's money either.

If a sitting prime minister of Israel was as corrupt as Justin Trudeau, that person would be in jail.

Trudeau has a history of using charities as a way of enriching himself, his family, and his friends.



Trudeau's history of charging charities to speak, other than WE



When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shut down the finance committee's investigation into the WE Charity scandal, he stopped the release of some potentially embarrassing information — the paid speaking engagements of his family.



The committee had asked for the information to see if any other organizations were paying close to the average $17,000 in fees and expenses for each of Margaret Trudeau's 28 WE appearances.



Central to this scandal is the notion that the PM was giving a lucrative contract to an organization that was paying his family big money.



WE paid more than $479,000 in fees and expenses for the PM's mother to take part in events, and roughly $60,000 for the PM's brother to appear.



Below is a previously-released list of charities that Trudeau charged large speaking fees.



It shows the speaking fees continued well after he was an elected member of Parliament, and only came to an end as he sought the Liberal leadership.

How can those organizations justify paying a member of the Canadian parliament to speak to them. That is a misuse of donations or public funds.

If it's not, it should be.
