Bardish Chagger is being thrown under the bus. I have doubts she was even remotely connected to the debacle.

My riding. Minister of diversity and inclusion. WTF! Sounds like a free ride too me.
She was government house leader (whip) last term.
She is making over $250K, couldnt find the exact amount online, either way its a joke.
She used to be minister of small business and tourism. How does one become an expert in two unrelated disciplines with a BsC?
Then again the finance minister of the country cant even look after his own finances.
Whats next, minister of recess and school lunches? I bet JT would hire someone with a social science degree for that one.

I think she might have crawled there in her own. Not her first failure, she didn’t get into nursing school - got shuffled out of cabinet position, then house leader position inside 3 years.
How can a 35 year whos only job experience is a small time community event coordinator get made responsible for a billion dollar program?
My guess is she’s not too smart, she’s been assigned to be a yes-person in portfolios that’s JT calls the shots. I’m sure JT and BM were glad she was their stooge at the time the rolled the program, bet they wish she had a brain right now.
She’s likely clear of conflict breaches, but recent revelations in parliament are showing she’s failed her fiduciary duties and is clearly complicit with JT sidestepping due process.
I'd argue Bill M can look after his finances just fine, just comp'd lots of stuff, pays minimal tax, and plays the system just like everybody else in a position of power like his.

I predict that the sponsorship scandal will look cheap compared to this one in the years to come.

That does check a few of JT's promise boxes, add yes-person stooge (yes Mr. JT, I'll do whatever you want).
Missing is experience and anything meritorious that would qualify her for any of those positions.
$269,800K salary ($182,600.00 base +$87,200.00 as a Minister). She also gets about $100k in various allowances travel expenses for her and her immediate family, free unlimited travel on VIA rail, $29K for accommodation expenses in Ottawa+++.

More from JT camp.
It cost taxpayers just over $73,000 for Health Minister Patty Hajdu to travel from Ottawa to Thunder Bay, even as she advised against non-essential travel during the pandemic lockdown.
Se was flying solo on executive jets handling important constituency business. During the period public gatherings were banned. All she could come up was keeping up with her French lessons.
Same Hajdu thought her Ottawa offices were not tasteful enough for her when first elected. She snuck in a $1.1m upgrade.

She struck me as a bit of a premidonna during those early Corona Virus briefings the Feds. were giving back in March/April. She was always pretty well quaffed too, considering hair stylists were off limits at the time, at least for us common folk!
Ottawa paid WE Charity $30-million to run student program
The government first announced the contract on June 25, but it was cancelled on July 3 amid conflict-of-interest accusations against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

It looks like WE might be in for a rough future. Corporate sponsors are running away from WE as fast as they can, school boards are also cutting ties.
As the onion gets peeled, it looks like there are compliance issues with the charity unfolding. Investigations are not being looked at for breaking federal lobby rules (failing to register as a lobby group), political bias (collaborating with the Liberal party to spread a liberal message to children).
It all stinks. I get the corruption part, that's just a greedy bunch of pigs at the trough. The insidious part is the infiltration of elementary schools with Liberal bias. They have an impressive list of speakers who as individuals do amazing work. As a collective, they are all pretty far left of center so parading this non stop bias in front of school children and kid's rallies with full gov't support is a bit irksome in it's Trumpishness.

The big question is if someone can come up with a paper trail for where the extra 441M was going to go. So far, gov't is arguing it is a contingency on the first 500M (which seems like a pretty steep percentage). If someone can find something that shows the libs were planning on disappearing that money and writing it off as a covid expense it will be amazing. Not just enough to wipe out JT, but also anyone of importance in the party. When something is rotten sometimes it is good to throw the whole thing in the garbage and start again.Ottawa paid WE Charity $30-million to run student program

I am pretty sure WE will be done after the dust settles.
article says they collected 30m already back in may for the program?
The contract was signed on June 23, but came into effect on May 5, 2020. WE says the May 5 date reflects when it began working on the project and incurring eligible expenditures to design, build and prepare to deliver the program. “Because of the speed with which the program needed to be launched and delivered, WE acted in good faith to undertake these actions before this agreement had been finalized and signed.”
That's almost a given. The really interesting question is what does that look like? It sounds like they have tens of millions in real estate holding (sounds like a great "charity") all fully leveraged. With the mess of non-profit/for-profit/holding/shell companies and the very questionable operations of their "charity" I wouldn't be at all surprised if the assets and liabilities were associated with different entities and the creditors get left holding the bag while the Kielbergers walk away with tons of money (plus what they have skimmed over the years).

All WE assets should be frozen and a full investigation should be done for criminal activity on the charity and it's owners
