The statement came Wednesday, and attributed the decision to COVID-19 disruptions and the continued fallout from its cancelled contract with Ottawa

Marc, left, and Craig Kielburger, seen here at WE Day celebrations in Kitchener, Ont. on Feb. 17, 2011, started the charity 25 years ago in their parent’s basement.WE Charity is shuttering its Canadian operations and the group’s founders, Craig and Marc Kielburger, will leave the organization entirely, in a dramatic reversal of fortune for the two brothers.

In July, the charity announced that it would indefinitely postpone its WE Day events for students, restructure its programs, clarify the roles of its charitable and for-profit arms and conduct an internal review. Less than two months later, it’s taking much more drastic steps. The charity’s statement did not make clear the future of its operations in the U.S. or Britain and didn’t address the future of ME to WE. It did not respond to a request for clarification from The Globe and Mail.The British charity had £5.2-million in revenue last year, and operated a number of programs with partners ranging from Virgin Atlantic to The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.

“Going forward, there will be no new schools, water or agricultural projects, and no expansion to new communities in the nine countries where WE Charity is active.”

Can we start auditing charities again please?

Got take that $30M & get outta Dodge quick before the Crime Minister throws them under the bus too bc skippy only cares about cover his own ass.

A take-down of incredibly woke-folk. I hope this is just the start of a broader movement to show moralizing snake oil salesmen the door.

Have they paid back the money yet ?

Oh-oh. I smell smoke.

The stench began when Marc K got involved

Cuba or China !😂😂😂Trudeau has strong connections there!

The least charitable least altruistic least humanitarian least visionary least honest most politicallyselfserving greedy organiation to be registed good riddence, trump may have less tolerance than Canada for swamp rats. Higher educations partner in crime? Why am i not suprised

When you get involved with sleazy Liberal entitlement, many people get burned. Justin, do Canada a big favour and resign. Let Chrystia duke it out with Erin. At the very least there will be less smelly ooze emanating from Ottawa. JustinTrudeau

Better go somewhere where they don't have an extradition agreement.

Is this what woke means? Asking for a recently retired boomer.

A few observations I made

Wow surprising

Very very strange

CraigKeilburg Adios you greasy Liberal supporters.

Good riddance you criminals

globepolitics Charges pending? Like you'd tell us if their was.

Somebody make sure they don't send their files to the burn bin on the way out. Both their former sponsors and the taxpayers deserve an audit of this organization's use of charitable donations and government funding - just follow the $.

Evening Update: WE Charity closing operations in Canada; Trump acknowledges playing down coronavirus severityEvening Update: O’Toole pitches Tories as ethical alternative; Trump acknowledges playing down coronavirus severity Blaspheme. I would say Team Trudeau still telling us the virus was low risk and no human to human transmission the first of March is downright negligible if not criminal. At least Trump stopped flights from China the end of January. We never did. The pandemic severities have been overplayed for the younger… and underplayed for the older: Ontario Covid-19 deaths: Under 40 years=12; Over 80 years=1,925 moh-covid-19-weekly-epi-report-en-2020-08-29.pdf (page 9)
