Blockchain is the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Bitcoin was invented a decade ago and the companies in the sector have only been public for a few years. Krystyna Dodds, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada, said “champions” of the Private Sector Investment Champion Speakers Program are selected by departmental officials from Global Affairs Canada.

“It becomes even more questionable when he’s speaking on behalf of a technology he’s promoting that Canada has not formally taken a position on,” Mr. Angus added.

ezralevant Just call him the bastard.

Why looky here it is a WE grand family that WE have a picture of. Aren't they grand that WE family?

It’s really quite transparent ! JT NEEDS TO RESIGN.

'AT TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE'

Trudeau.........purponent of systemic raceisun in the name of....favoritism ?.

ezralevant Trudeau is a scum bag! Most corrupt PM ever!

JustinTrudeau just can't keep your fingers out of the pie! u are the star in your own soap opera dubbed 'All in the Family'

I bet the Rolling Stones receive handout too. Turdeau is a bastard.

“The Prime Minister’s Office said the contract was approved by the public service at Global Affairs Canada and the Prime Minister “had no involvement.” Hmm. *This* public service?

Best patriot prime minister of the world!! Salute you boss🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩from Bangladesh.

ezralevant I’m sure he earned it on merit alone...

Did we find out how much Sophie, Margaret and the kids were paid to go to UK for a WE event? We know Sophie brought home from COViD she got from Idris Elba.

ezralevant Only $12k?

ezralevant obviously not one of the favourites or would be more than $12K 🤣

globepolitics Oh, look. More LIberal nepotism. This is what they do, and it's why we booted them to the curb post-Chretien. It would seem 10 years on the sidelines hasn't curbed their enthusiasm for corruption.

Very misleading title. Kemper was contracted to speak at a cryptocurrency conference in Switzerland. The man is a blockchain expert, and by your own article, the Prime Minister had nothing to do with the appointment. It is disingenuous to imply a scandal where none exists.

Now he can retire in style on that dough! 🙄

Oh ffs. Learn journalism!!!

So what 🤷‍♂️ Have a look over the border. What’s happening their is brutal favoritism 😬

12K?! Canadians are upset about spare change. That's nothing. Trump is handing out millions.

JLCWood2017 Trudeau’s half-brother, Kyle Kemper, isn't even in Canada right now! Covid isn't stopping his plans: June 11 · Swiss Key🇨🇭🗝 stopped in Houston TX on our cross-country tour from San Diego to Ottawa, Canada!

Thank you . Keep exposing this a whole and I’ll keep renewing my subscription.

The Trudeau family is so corrupt. There can't be enough people working at EthicsCanada to keep up with them!

Trudeau is sorry. Again. And again. CORRUPT.

Why do you keep bringing this up? He said he was sorry. What kind of lesson are we giving our youth when we don't accept peoples' apologies!

globepolitics Good to see a photo of Maggie ... without her sitting on an American monument step somewhere with her hooter intentionally hung out for photo display. Did Justin get/learn his morals from her — of course he did.

Absolutely loving the outpouring of self righteous indignation from the usual culprits. Always a lot of flack when you're right over the target. Keep digging. These pretzels are making me thirsty. Lol

Shocking. Also a lot of defensive supporters in the comments of this thread.

So is no one connected to Trudeau is allowed to work for the federal service or speak at conferences🙄 Another non story

Peanuts

My word. Do better. It's a good thing that health care is under provincial jurisdiction, otherwise they'll be denied the opportunity to see a doctor because of their 'connections'.

Joe_2thepoint

I'm sure Justin Trudeau had another whatsoever to do with this . Trudeau would never compromise his family name ...!

You know, Globe, if you're going to take gratuitous shots at Trudeau and his family, try to at least watch your grammar.

FFS GFY

Good god Are you all high over there? Best decision I ever made was to cancel my subscription.

For the sake of journalism, I understand these type of things needs to be discussed, but it feels like the G&M is going out of their hands digging way too deep trying to find whatever to throw shade to Trudeau’s administration. Putting a $12K contract in the spotlight is absurd

TheRealDonaldTrump just commuted a 4 year sentence for an aid wholies to congress to cover his misdeeds and no one in the US cares. We are reporting about 12 K?

Could this be the most corrupt family in canadian history? JustinTrudeau WeAreCanProud

You’re paper is trash

Fucking click bait. Do better The contract was approved by the public service at Global Affairs Canada

I would really like to think that the G&M published that article tongue in cheek. Unfortunately, I think the G&M lacks the wit and humour to do that, which means it is merely ridiculous.

Angus desperate for better poll numbers, Globe desperate for click bait...both stoking the kind of unreasonable hatred that leads to Rideau Hall assassination attempts.

My man gotta eat don't he

Fuck me, I'm glad I cancelled your rag in 2008.

So is embarrassed for the Globe and mail. Used to be a world class paper for decades. 🤢

How about a list of any cintact it ever let. I bet someone is related to somebody. Get real

And? This is why msm is dying. You know that, right?

Canadian politics is boring, con-servatives trying to make it interesting but it turns out to be a worse fake news

Not even worth a comment. Silly! Is he somehow banded from bidding on government procurements!!! Is he not also a Canadian citizen

Yep. That’s some scandal alright.

$12,430.? He'd better off collecting the CERB!

Awarded And no one cares.

Below average PM, incompetent, low life, fraud and corrupt from the minute he took office

Now you are being ridiculous Globe. Grasping madly to keep your Great Scandal story going.

Any comment from acoyne ? cdnpoli

InRodWeTrustMTL You have got to be kidding me. WTF does Trudeau believe tax payer money as actually his money to give to friends and family? BRUTAL

Soon we’re going to here about his kids being paid for something

Disgusting! Canadians are mad and won’t take this corruption anymore. Liberal Party has lost the trust of Canadians. We need a change in Ottawa. Thank you for reading.

There is a sliding scale patronage rate based on closeness of relation. Half-siblings don't get the full family fee

Oh the humanity!!

globepolitics Time to break out the 'LIBRANO'S' billboards and posters AGAIN and put them back up...hope you all kept them as it appears they need to be re-useable. SHEESH!!!

Now you know why.

Are CDN's realizing these types of deals are illegal under CDN law? Do his supporters even care that he has a growing list of criminal acts and that it's a crime to rob and defraud CDN taxpayers?

This is a stretch. He's established in the field, spoke at and staffed a booth at a three day conference. $12,430 includes flight and accommodation. Business class flight, 4-5 nights accommodation plus meals in Switzerland would take over half that amount.

JFC, it gets worse. Does ANYONE play by the rules in this government?

Stop. The. Presses.

Canada’s Family Compact and Chateau Clique remain as strong as ever. Wealthy White Privilege still exists

mbpoli cdnpoli

Wow, $12k...

I signed at conflict of interest for my job I'm sure the PM did for his, no excuse,its an abuse of power,2 guilty findings already for breaking the code of ethics,until Canadians demand consequences they will continue to think they r above the law,enough is enough 3 strikes-out

🥱

So much for a new way of doing things, an open an transparent government and sunny ways! Can Canadians that voted for this fool now admit that they were deceived?

Big money wow...

Why is this news and why are you focusing on Trudeau ok and his family? But there you are begging for funding because nobody buys your paper anymore

For what ?

globepolitics I’m having a hard attack from not surprise. 😒

Whoop di doo

I would totally do the same if I were in his shoes.

Keep it coming. TrudeauCorruption

This is so ridiculous. But carry on....🙄

That is the tip of the iceberg with this guy. Keep digging.

Oh what are you doing and why🙄

WOW!!!! 12k? OBSCENE!!!!!! He must be on a yacht by now.

There are BILLIONS unaccounted for. Stop the games.

Wow! A whole 12k?!

Conservatives call for Trudeau to testify at committee on WE Charity dealConservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre laid out the plan amid growing pressure on Trudeau and Liberal cabinet ministers to explain how the sole-sourced deal announced late last month came to be So... I usually vote Conservative, but come on. Can we not focus on more important things, like getting Covid-19 under control and kick starting our economy so Canadians can get back to work and avoid losing their homes? Pierre poilievre, known as Skippy throughout his career as a professional politician, cheated his way into parliament. When will the CPC force him to testify at committee? When will the CPC expel Skippy from caucus? Are they prepared for airing all their ties with WE? Are they prepared for a backlash from Canadians who are more concerned about jobs and their health? Let the Ethics Comissioner do his job and the MPs get on with the issues that concern their constituents. StopTheCircus”.
