His finger-pointing comes in the wake of WE Charity's Wednesday announcement that it is selling off its assets, eliminating staff and winding down operations in Canada months after finding itself at the centre of a political scandal.
Trudeau's mother, Margaret Trudeau, spoke at approximately 28 WE Charity events and was paid $250,000 in speaking honorariums between 2016 and 2020. The prime minister's brother, Alexandre Trudeau, also spoke at eight WE Charity events from 2017 to 2018 and was paid a total of approximately $32,000. Morneau apologized for the "error" and said it was his full intention to cover the full cost of the trips -- though he only last month repaid the $41,000 the charity had initially covered related to the trips to Kenya and Ecuador. The former finance minister's daughter Clare has also spoken at WE events, and his daughter Grace is currently employed by WE Charity.
Still, while the charity may be leaving the country, Singh says many unanswered questions remain here in Canada -- especially relating to a huge pile of WE Charity documents the Liberals released as they announced Parliament’s prorogation, which halted all committee studies into the issue. In Bob Woodward's upcoming book "Rage," Trump is quoted saying the coronavirus was highly contagious and "deadly stuff" back in February — this, despite the fact that he was at the time publicly dismissing the virus as no worse than the flu.
I disagree
Trudeau is responsible for being part of self entitled elite that rules and consequences don't apply but WE charity is also run by a smug elite pair that rules don't apply Follow them closely they will be involved in running or benifiting from the rebranding of we
He said 'fall of WE charity' like it was a bad thing?
Dear NDP. Is 2020 and theJagmeetSingh the hill you want your party to die on?
Desperate for media is he. What a flailing imbecile. See also: ‘If you’re to sum up where the NDP are at, the Liberals have eaten their lunch’: missing a WE bump, NDP banking on Singh’s record as ‘junior dance partner’ in Parliament
Good. Why are we still pretending WE was a great organization? They ripped off taxpayers when the Libs privatized the 'Canada 150' curriculum to them. They were buying political influence and pushing corporate white washing. Good riddance.
The Conservatives are the reason for the fallout especially that snivelling little crap scheer and now oTool of the day is following his exact footsteps of stupidity, a con will never rein Canada again.
I think Singh should look in a mirror
Actually it is CPC and Singh's NDP along with inept CDN MSM who caused failure of WE. No one stood up for WE and what is fair, right, just. They just trumpeted stuff spoon fed by CPC mainly Harper. If any reporter had read this:
Federal NDP are at an all time low Nearly bankrupted and no leadership
Now if he can just figure out who to blame for losing $10 million and half his caucus in the last election.
True in a way, for not standing up to the Bully and his Sidekick.
This is so stupid. We are in the middle of a global pandemic and you’re still doing this.
The question remains will theJagmeetSingh still support the ethically challenged PM, or will he do the right thing and throw this back to the people to vote in a new election
theJagmeetSingh the blame is squarely on the CPC_HQ, especially PierrePoilievre There was no conflict of interest by the liberals.
Daily Reminder: 65 unregistered lobbying incidents by WE Charity, $500k+ to the Trudeau family, free trips for the Morneau's, interference with the public service by PMO staff, lying under oath, prorogation, pre-redacted documents.... WEcharity WEscandal Cdnpoli
Singh is as big a phoney as Trudeau..all talk..yakkity. yak yak...no action. Just a fraud.
LOL ...Singh and his buds at CTV, regurgitating his vomit!
Yet Singh continously props up Trudeau's illegitimate minority government.
Remember, the Liberals plan was to pay less than minimum wage to thousands of students.
Why were we considering monies for teenagers to volunteer anyway ... half a billion dollars for what
Conservatives lied, ‘Trudeau gave his friends a billion dollars' with NDP supporting them. With nothing substantial coming out of it, we are left now with a cancelled program & students couldn’t get a billion dollars. The blame lies fully with AndrewScheer & theJagmeetSingh.
Trudeau is to blame for fall of WE Charity in Canada
Well he’s an idiot. I don’t watch this news channel any more. LisaLaFlammeCTV is highly highly over rated.
Wrong. If WE cannot stand up to public scrutiny...it should be out of business. They are doing the right thing by closing up shop, and it wouldn't have happened without all the eyes on it.
Isn’t it amazing that the Liberals never accuse or blame anyone or party but have focused on moving Canada forward in these unprecedented times,and all the opposition and media have done through the WE charity Is to try to bring the government down Canadians should be appalled
Glad someone said it, Jagmeet Singh. That's why we need to get the corporate lobbyists out of parliament. I am so tired of scandals and backroom deals from the Liberal People's Conservative Party! We elect these sharks to serve us, not line the pockets of their friends.
Looking forward to the no confidence vote then.
Remember, blaming is always the easiest way out
Well actually...
No
Might be the best thing they are gone
Yes he is, but those brothers have been crooks for years.
Singh support Trudeau from the beginning so he is just as much to blame
65 unregistered lobbying incidents by WE Charity, $500k+ to the Trudeau family, free trips for the Morneau's, interference with the public service by PMO staff, lying under oath, prorogation, pre-redacted documents.... WEcharity WEscandal Cdnpoli
And yet Singh has propped up the Liberals at every opportunity, helped them shut down parliament and without a doubt is going to prop them up after the upcoming throne speech as the Liberals are about to buy off Singh with a new socialist agenda.
Singh propped this government up and assisted Trudeau in proroguing parliament. No debates. No calls for resignation. So by default... isn’t he to blame as well?
theJagmeetSingh will never stand up to Trudeau. He’s part of the problem.
And who is responsible for their fall in England? Sir Richard Branson, who is way to the left pulled out his sponsorship as well. It was corrupted, sucking up to the rich and famous organization, hardly a clean charity. They deserve everything what happened to them. Crooks.
Yet, here is is supporting the same one he criticizes.
Oh there's plenty of blame to go around. From WE itself to the PM and PMO and Trudeau's family to all the MPs who enabled this rot. All sides of the house. Singh is complicit.
Yeah. That’s a hard no Jag. But keep on gaslighting
SINGH continues to clean TRUDEAU's butt for him in exchange for 'demands & favours'. TRUMP? Check out the Woodward tapes where back in March he discussed the severity of C-19 as a major crisis. TRUDEAU knew too and held back until the crap hit the fan, then gave out $ instead.
Justiflable fees from past used by Conservatives to Exclude students or anyone without prior taxable income from any recovery money. How is the millionaire classes greed Trudeau's fault.
Also Singh: however, for a few shiny trinkets from JT, I’ll keep supporting this corrupt Fed Government in hopes of remaining even a tiny bit relevant. twofaced useless
'No question' that theJagmeetSingh and his bedfellows in the CPC_HQ are to blame. cdnpoli cdnmedia
They were already going tits up, Trudeau was just trying to ensure they didn't (with a taxpayer bailout) and his mom would have a source of extra income. It backfired. Got caught. Yet Singh will continue to prop up Trudeau
Trudeau is not to blame for we charity being pushed out of Canada. It was the political atmosphere of trying to bring Trudeau down that drove away sponsors and money.
Why is Singh pumping up Trudeau? First he's a bad guy but now JT is a hero for killing a charity with questionable ethics.
Trudeau and WE own this No one else Ethics and RCMP investigations don’t take place just because someone in the opposition complains That being said theJagmeetSingh will continue to sell out Canadians for his own partisan gain and prop up Trudeau during the confidence vote
What
Doh! Provincial politics is his forte.
Mr Singh needs to stand behind his words and vote non-confidence in September. If he doesn’t then his words don’t mean anything. A person only has his integrity to stand on. Let’s see what kind he has.
Public: 'No question' Singh is responsible for no movement in NDP support.
