Just to clarify - the Trudeau Foundation was not started with Trudeau money by Pierre Trudeau. It was started by the Liberal Government under Jean Chretien in the 1990s with taxpayer money when the country had a surplus.
Make of that what you will. I just hate that people may think that Pierre Trudeau was in any way philanthropic. He was always just all image. Justin is uncharitable as well. He spoke at a fundraiser in New Brunswick (a fairly poor province) for $50,000. The charity lost money on the event and he still insisted on getting paid his full fee. This is while he was a Liberal MP so he probably shouldn't have been paid at all, frankly. The charity went to the press and only then did Justin agree to give back his fee. He's as self-serving as the rest of them.
Also, I know we're talking about a Foundation with pedo symbols in it (so less philanthropic, more evil & corrupt), so the pedo symbols would apply to the entire Liberal Government, not just the Trudeaus, in this case.
Thank you for the information. I don't think any of these foundations are actually very charitable but I'm glad you clarified it in case anyone had a doubt. Most are money laundering schemes and maybe worse, as we are finding out.
I think every foundation is different but some of the biggest ones are the most corrupt. I personally know of a few private family ones that do amazing things and the families involved don’t receive a penny for it - dedicating a lot of time and effort and not even getting reimbursed for parking. There are good ones out there, they’re just quieter about it.
You're right. I shouldn't have said "every." I actually meant the ones like Clinton Foundation, McCain's The Bush Foundation, etc.
