WE Charity co-founder said PMO 'called' to award $900M student-grant program, contradicting Trudeau

WE co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger speak during WE Day Alberta at Rogers Place in Edmonton, on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019.The WE Charity co-founder’s initial statement has further raised concerns among those who have questioned the PMO’s involvement in the decision to outsource the $912-million student grant program to WE Charity — with whom Trudeau, his wife and his mother have had close ties for years.

“It’s totally different to have a Prime Minister’s Office call you as opposed to someone in the bureaucracy,” Conacher said. “I just don’t believe he would be confusing that, because they’ve received grants and contracts from government departments. So they know the difference between the government department and the Prime Minister’s Office.”

In fact, the first time the government mentions that the CSSG will be administered by WE Charity is in a briefing document provided to media on June 25, two months after the initial announcement, and two weeks after Kielburger told other charitable leaders on the video conference that his WE Charity organization had been selected to run the program.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau are flanked by We Day co-founders Craig Kielburger, left, and Marc Kielburger, right.Trudeau and his family have close ties to that organization, and have volunteered for it regularly in the last decade. Trudeau has regularly attended or hosted the organization’s annual WE Day, a stadium-sized rally for Canadian youth, between 2012 and 2017.

'Contradicting Trudeau'. Wow, huge surprise there. I've never heard that before. He's always been such an honest and trusted leader. Selfless individual. This must b a one off. Right all u willfully blind Liberal backers and Trudeau apologists? I'm sure it will never happen again

Looks like the overly-zealous famille Trudeau just had their self-anointed gatekeepership of the WE Charity trust suffer a resounding big fat 'Non!' to that preposterous idea, instead. Wake up Butts, Housefather and the other usual Liberal suspects. There's manure to be spread.

ShaunGallinger Hey how come you guys are using old stock photo’s? Why not use something more current, like the Canada celebrations out takes. You know where Sophie has the look of disgust after she had to kiss the pathetic ignoramus.

WeHaveAProblem

The MVP of ethics violations

900,000,000/5000 = 180,000 grants, everyone should know at least 1-2 young people who got a grant...

Another lie to add to the pile TrudeauCorruption

I have this strong 'sence' that the silent majority is now 'woke' and is paying very close attention.

Ms_Michelle_Roy Our money giving this moron prestige

Corrupted hypocrite

We cannot continue this outrageous spending when we’re in the middle of an employment crisis, a pandemic, and are already trillions in debt

It’s Trudeau😅😂all he is is lies,he was born for this, admitted prima donna, come on people of the East, wake up, get rid of him, this will not be the end of it.More to come,right Ethics Commissioner. Where is Parliment? He shut it down.Accountability none,so stupid so Liberal.

Read this this is how Hitler indoctrinated the children into his movement. It also explains a lot when it comes to liberal MPs following blindly. Investigate. What are they getting for their silence?

Entitled prick!!

Marc Kielburger's retraction is longer than his initial 'the PMO kindly called us'. Trudeau has no idea about law and procedure. He's in it for the $ InItForTheMoney TrudeauCorruption Trudeaunomics

He never gives up breaking the laws and wasting BILLIONS Canadians' $$, and idiots in topoli soak it up. HappyCanadaDay TrudeauCorruption

Can't help but wonder how much child trafficking and pedophilia is enabled through this organization. Any connection to Trudeau and access to third world children raises all kinds of red flags. Just speculation

Dictator Trudeau.

WE is a UN backed, Canadian government funded training ground for youth socialist radicals. It's aim is to produce an army of zombified Greta Thunbergs, who will carry their mission well behind third world education, and on to Marxist revolution. I saw this 10 years ago with WE

Dishonest to the teeth.

I believe I know the answer to this question, but where is the oversight and auditing of this program? Same place the infrastructure auditing is being done - ie, NOT BEING DONE?

TrudeauThe G&M story (SNC Lavscam) is false. The PMO did not DIRECT the AG. True, but PMO, Trudeau and PCO did pressure AG, which is what happened and is what the G&M article asserted. Now, PMO did not ask WE to ADMINISTER program. True, but PMO did ask if WE would be interested

He’s a narcissistic bi-polar pathological liar. The real problem is that most Canadians and especially the Canadian media don’t care. They think everything wrong is either Trumps or Scheers fault

At the very best this makes Kleinberger a name dropping self-inflating egomaniac who probably shouldn't be entrusted with $900 million of Canadian taxpayer money

Trudeau is the defacto standard when it comes to defining the word criminal. So, if someone steals something of yours just tell the insurance company you’ve been Trudeau’d.

Money laundering.

Swiftie01 someone needs to call Justice Gomery back up,, thinking he is well familiar with the ploys and players in yet another Liberal scandal..........

All he's done is launder money for the last 5 years, how is this a shocker to anyone? Why not just make it a billion? Lol

Great way to indoctrinate a new generation into the Doctrine of Liberal thought, did not the Nazis do that in the 30s with the Hitler Youth Movement

What about those on disability, veterans & seniors? Is there no accountability or responsibility to tax payers of this country?

Another corrupt action by You Know Who

Corruption, corruption. Plus was it 5 Liberal charity give aways that were never put out to tender, also to WE? What does WE actually do besides getting youth into some feel good hysteria at massive rallies? All a we are the world moment?

The left sit in their basements sucking wealth. They have no idea how to create wealth. This, when one of their own sucks wealth the think, “what’s the problem?”

Can we get a recent photo by chance? wheresSophie

This is a old picture.....Sophie has not been by Trudeau side since last Xmas......yes she can't stand him also.........

GlobalNational davidakin DFriesenGlobal should be investigating this. Justin lied and no one cares?

TrudeauCorruption ... continues

Traitor Trudeau. AUDIT the Trudeau Foundation

But he just admitted to lying. This is a Trudeau money laundering scheme.

Busted

Can I get a big F*%k you to Trudeau?

They are so arrogant they aren’t even trying to hide the corruption anymore

SpeakeasyJames I am so disgusted with JustinTrudeau and his lack of ethics or honesty. How can any member of the liberalparty support this lying, useless excuse of a PM? How can you be so blind and ignorant to his actions? WorstPM TrudeauMustGo CriminalInPower TrudeauDictatorship

Darn it all and that mis spoking ...... happens so frequently around JT

At the very least, conflict of interest!

TrudeauCorruption

Maybe they just experienced it differently?

Dishonest PM.

I truly hope the WE organization will rehire the staff that have been laid off in the past year because they were “restructuring “.

O. M. G. So we have ethics violation 3 now. Do laws even matter anymore ? TrudeauCorruption

Trudeau can’t spent the taxpayer’s money fast enough. Of course he has to outsource it. What’s a simple cull like him to do?

Stinks like everything these fools touch. Cannot believe that Canada did this to itself - twice. Looking at you Toronto.

Who you know in the PMO ... as covid funding moves into entitlements zone ... agha khan trip comes to mind. . Now, again, showing complete lack of self awareness. . Independent voters won’t support this hanky panky 💔

This is Pierres awesome upcoming speech : “did you give Sophie 900 mill, yes OR no” PierrePoilievre ErinOTooleMP

JustinTrudeau is this Sophie’s ransom for you being allowed back home

louschizas JustinTrudeau another lie

He is so corrupt he makes Tony Soprano look like an Amateur. It’s like we in Canada are all living a nightmare, the kind where you can’t move,speak or act. His mantra...”what are ya gonna do about it punk”

Justin is a LIAR! Hope everyone is clear how our Prime Minister operates.

Weasel in Chief at WEasel Charity outs Trudeau and then suddenly sees the light. Who wouldn't be a WEasel for Trudeau after getting a BILLION dollars of taxpayers money thrown at his organization?

More Add Scam like corruption from the Liberals.. can they not be reined in ?

Thief and what about the house

Junk newspaper, desperately trying to stir up controversy.

Ask for the phone and email records between the PMO and WE before they cover it all up! That'll prove it, unless you're today's version of a Liberal and get away with anything!

Does anyone see this as being wrong. You're either a Volunteer or you're not? Being paid $10 an hour A. Is not min wage. B. Is not volunteering. C. Is borderline child Labour. This is out of control. Now had he made it a school grant that's one thing. WOW

If this had been done by a conservative you know the Toronto Star, CBC, McLeans , would be on it like pit bulls on a bone.

Yes once Canada Trudeau lied TrudeauCorruption

Disturbing

VerityPro You mean he lied? Say it ain’t so. And he gave $900 million to a charity with ties to his wife - that don’t sound right. (sarc) There’s way too many of these guys running trust funds to steal and hide money. This needs to be addressed.

Caught in another lie? No worry. CBC and CTV will cover for him.

Your nose is growing skippy

So JustinTrudeau lied to Canadians again. Why is the left so gullible, so easily manipulated? So stupid?

Another day, another lie from JustinTrudeau. Not a peep from theJagmeetSingh yfblanchet. TrudeauCorruption TrudeauworstPMever TrudeauForPrison

Conflict of interest? My God, what’s it going to take before MSM and liberal lovers clue in to the most unethical PM in Canadian History? TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauLied TrudeauDictatorship

After reviewing my notes, and discovering the blatant 'Oopsie', I decided that the best course of action was to 'Misspeak'

Nobody is untouchable

I know we have all surmised that he can do anything he wants and get away with it....but, still....does he have so much disregard for the public, the media, and the opposition that he thinks nothing he does can come back and bite him? Is it incredible arrogance or stupidity?

Wait a second, does that mean truedeau lie? No, it can’t be! He’d never lie about anything to protect himself. And he’d never engage in a blatant conflict of interest like this. Oops sorry, forgot who I was thinking of there. It’s Trudeau, of course he lied and corrupted himself

I just realized who runs this organization. This globalist organization has spent years indoctrinating our youth and has now been given the reins. I guarantee no money goes to students who are conservative or god-forbid nationalists

TomHipsz Just called out of the blue? PM makes decisions in the potty? 🤬

Libranos 2.0

JustinTrudeau is not ethical? Who would have thunk!

I guess the liberal_party should hand over the Summer Student Jobs Program to we as the goverment cant handle much of anything

Oops, Mr. Trudeau showed his tail again!

Good journalism

Its time we narrow and specifically define a governments role so as to remove discretionary domestic and foreign spending and cut corruption opportunities. $$$ left in the hands of the citizens is ultimate democracy rather than choosing 1 of a handful of lames to spend it for us.

I’m shocked! Trudeau and PMO lied? That’s never happened

Justin Trudeau lied again, and most Canadians don't give a damn.

sunlorrie Clinton's Charities are connected to the We Day charities

MLGG2 Civil Society is the instrument to move Agenda2030 ahead Trudeau gave about $5 Billion to Civil Society to allocate The advantage is there is no auditing on where money goes once it hits the Covil Society, NGO or Charity Its a $$$ laundromat ChrisGNardi

Why is the media not asking the tough questions here. This math does not add up.

It’s amazing what you can do when no one is sitting in parliament.

oh, what a tangled web we weave..... (Meaning they shyster tyrant Liberal Party) Next PM directive to cronies and staff 'Get our lies and corruption straight, would you?'

EvanLSolomon

Any chance we will see this in the news?

Same WE?

TrudeauCorruption

Liberal party of corruption alive and well! Chrétien would be proud of These corrupt liberals!

I’m surprised he didn’t award it to the Clinton Foundation!! But I get it, he’s trying to get his wife back...

This government needs to be locked up already. The whole lot of em!!!

Of course he called. His wife told him too !

Uh oh. TrudeauLied TrudeauCorruption

This is how dictatorships work folks, get used to it, because it isn’t going away.

'Contradicting Trudeau'? What? No way. LMAO.

Just for fun (and facts)...this was also in the article: Keilbirger: “Speaking loosely and enthusiastically, I incorrectly referred to the Prime Minister’s Office. In fact, the outreach came from unelected officials at Employment and Social Development Canada.”

There is much fuckery abroad in the night...

Skippy pants on fire at it again.

PMO:

Opps Trudeau lied AGAIN the laws only apply to commoners like us...

Working so hard with our money. No accountability or results required?

When does the madness end?

Where is CommrRCMPGRC ? At what point is loyalty to Canada more important than Pierre Trudeau’s Son?

Gee Trudeau lied am I ever shocked. No matter the story will disappear within a couple days cdnpoli

Does WE Charity even have the financial capacity to correctly distribute $1B in federal dollars to 50000 people? Only the public service and large financial institutions have this experience.

One happy team

HE DOESN'T CARE!!! He's survived scandal after scandal and MSM gives him a pass.

Shocking

WE provided subsidized summer camp to middle-class children... who are politically indoctrinated as SJW’s (future Liberal voters) in exchange......paid for with your tax dollars.......some charity...CRA?

Power corrupts - does not matter which party is in charge.

Who would have thought...oh wait, he was found guilty of UNETHICAL CONDUCTS at least TWICE. To make it THRICE shouldn't be a big surprise!!! cdnpoli TrudeauCorruption TrudeauworstPMever

Let the lying begin.

Trudeau refuses to commit to repatriating Canadians in Syria amid calls to bring them homeAt least 47 Canadians are detained in Kurdish-run camps and prisons in northeast Syria because of their alleged ties to the Islamic State terrorist group, according to report 'That the white helmets worked hand in glove with the extreme jihadists, and moved out wherever they moved out, is beyond dispute as a matter of fact, whatever the state of denial of the mainstream media.' Who is responsible for putting them on trial and in jail then? But I thought a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. Even if they've been time-travelling back to the 13th century? Let 'em rot.
