WE Charity Walks Back Claim PM’s Office Reached Out Over $900M Program

In the video, Kielburger describes Trudeau’s April announcement that the government planned to provide more money for summer jobs and volunteer positions as “substantive” given the challenges many young people are expected to face paying for their schooling during COVID-19.

The 43-year-old, who founded the WE Movement and associated youth charities with his brother Craig more than two decades ago and has since guided its growth into an international organization, backtracked on those assertions on Tuesday. No one from the Prime Minister’s Office asked We Charity to administer the Canada Student Service Grant.WE did not immediately respond to follow-up questions about whether there was contact between it and Trudeau or his staff during the week of April 20, when the actual announcement was made.

In his statement, Kielburger said that “all discussions came at the instigation of departmental officials and they led discussions with respect to contract and program parameters.”

It is cronyism. But I don't think the accusations are coming from Huff Post?

Yup sounds like our administration. Give money away to buddies and not give airline refunds to those who need it. Great job. Slow clap the liberals. AirCanada

why does the media have such a hard time understanding that its a Charity group they are not in this to make money they are doing it to help out

Add it to the list of wrong doings. And still adds up to another Trudeau win come elections time. Imagine!? The guys socks have hypnotized the masses ... or the easily fooled. Not sure.

.Liberals are gonna be liberals.
