Nepotism Is Alright When SOME People Do It

Like launching a do-nothing son of a former prime minister to a leadership position of a federal party just so that Canada could relive the glories of high unemployment and high inflation:

Cabinet yesterday appointed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s favourite charity to manage a pandemic grant relief program. The Prime Minister’s wife has appeared as an “official ambassador” and public speaker at We Charity events in New York: “I’m curious how that’s not a conflict of interest?”


Needless to say, the usual suspects are not at all pleased:

The federal Conservatives are calling for an investigation into the Liberal government’s decision to have an international charity administer a $900-million program designed to help students during the COVID-19 pandemic. ...

Trudeau defended employing WE Charity to administer the program last week despite the group’s ties to the prime minister and his wife, who hosts one of the organization’s podcasts.

Trudeau said the decision to use WE was made by the non-partisan public service, not by him.

Oh, the federal grant? That one?
