A troubled boy dives into a mysterious fantasy world, and so begins yet another fantastical tale of Liberal corruption.
WE-Gate was reportedly born of a telephone call between Prime Minister Trudeau and then Finance Minister Bill Morneau on April 5th, during which the two discussed possible ways to throw some non-existent tax dollars at students who would not have summer jobs during the COVID-19 shutdown.
For reasons not disclosed, WE Charity received a $30M advance payment from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) in connection with the contribution agreement to administer the Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) program.
Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) reversed its' original stance against face masks, "If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19"; and now recommends wearing masks of different types in various settings by various people.
Prime Minister Trudeau testified before the Parliamentary Finance Committee on July 30th in connection with the WE Charity scandal, currently under investigation by Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion.
Canadians can be forgiven for wondering why.
Amping up the Trudeau charm, well lit and smiling directly into a high-resolution camera, coiffed hair blacker than beard; the relaxed PM was clearly focused upon communicating directly with voters, rather than answering questions from committee members.
With Prime Minister Trudeau facing his third investigation by Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, in addition to a possible criminal investigation by the RCMP, a casual observer might be forgiven for concluding that the governments days are numbered.
Whether sooner as the result of a vote of no-confidence, which so far hasn't happened, or later during the next election in 2023, surely Canadian voters have had enough of this corrupt government.
A July 13th poll by Angus Reid might surprise many.
With the Prime Minister facing yet another investigation by Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, his third since taking office in 2015, Canadians need to take a hard look at the Trudeau brand.
How does brand promise contrast with operational reality?
What does the Trudeau brand really stand for?
