Holy Shaving Cream!

The rats, they are fleeing:

 

More:

The head of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and its board of directors have resigned, citing the “politicization” of the non-profit organization in the aftermath of returning a large financial gift from a Chinese billionaire.
The foundation returned $140,000 in early March to a wealthy Chinese donor after The Globe and Mail reported that the largesse was part of a Beijing-directed influence operation to curry favour with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the Foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the Foundation’s management and volunteer Board of Directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” the foundation said in a statement Tuesday.
It announced that president and CEO Pascale Fournier and its board of directors had submitted their resignations.
“The circumstances created by the politicization of the Foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo, and the volunteer Board of Directors has resigned, as has the President and CEO,” the statement said.

 

Yes, about all of that:

In June, 2014, Zhang Bin, President of China Cultural Industry Association; Mr. Niu Gensheng, Consultant of China Cultural Industry Association; Alexander Trudeau, Director of Trudeau Foundation and son of the former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau; Guy Lefebvre, President of Law School of University of Montreal, etc., jointly discussed the issue of setting up “Trudeau Education Foundation” at the School of Law of University of Montreal. The establishment of “Trudeau Education Foundation” aims to promote the long-term development of the Sino-Canadian friendship, as well as to promote the Sino-Canadian cultivation of judicial talents and elites as Premier Pierre Elliot Trudeau, and to contribute to the fairness and justice of the international community.

Those circumstances would be the questions about the foundation’s decision in 2016 to accept a donation from sources that have since been linked to China’s attempt to influence Canadian policy and the Canadian government. A $200,000 donation from Chinese businessman Zhang Bin in 2016 has been the focus of questions alongside the broader story of China’s election interference attempts.

The president of the foundation at that time, Morris Rosenberg, wrote the report the government released earlier this year stating there was no issue with foreign election interference. Another person affiliated with the Trudeau Foundation, David Johnston, the former governor general, was appointed as a special rapporteur to look into allegations of Chinese election interference. Johnston is a member of the Trudeau Foundation, meaning he’s one of the people who helps select the board.

Who will Johnston recommend for the next board now that people like Sarah Coyne, Trudeau’s sister, have stepped down.

 

(Sidebar: who, indeed?)

 

Justin is so mad that he is using big words to express his pi$$iness:

 

Those are awfully big words to use, Mr. Juice-box Thingy. 

You ought to know about polarisation and partisan attacks. That is your modus operandi. 

And the word you are looking for is "unfounded" and only unfounded.

Then why did everyone resign, Justin?


To wit:

Now, Justin may try to shrug this off and his press agent, Katie Telford, may obfuscate to her blackened heart's content, but this looks terribly suspicious. 

So suspicious that even his foreign donors may lose their patience with him.
