It is no secret the handouts being doled out by the Liberals have provided much needed financial resources to a broad base of Canadians. However, it is clear that the focus has been on younger (potenially future Liberal) voters with so many dollars thrown at them, for such a demographic that lacks financial obligations, has existing shelter and resources. Meanwhile, seniors are still waiting on their $300 cheque, the demographic that has paid an entire career's worth of taxes and beyond into their retirements!
This blatant favouritism I cannot believe more Canadians are not discussing this. With Sophie as "an Ambassador" and Justin admittedly having done work for WE previously, the conflicts around this are endless.
"...“When the Federal Government ‘outsources’ the delivery of a grant program it effectively does an end run around transparency and Parliament as NGO’s are not subject to the same federal ATIP information requirements . This is deeply concerning,” Conservative MP Dan Albas tweeted.
“$900 Million. Journalists cannot use ATIP. MPs cannot review this spending at committee. The Auditor General will not be able to audit it. Trudeau Liberals will not even disclose the contract details. So much is wrong here,” he added on social media Friday.."

Logical Liberal Heads Must Prevail: Chinese Gold Producer Bidding for TMAC Resources, Allowing Shandong To Run Amok, Unobserved, in Canada's North

Although below the threshold for automatic review, given the recent comments by China after yesterday's Meng court decision, surely this transaction will be scrutinized to a very high degree. If not, the (state-owned) Chinese gold producer, Shandong Gold, will be able to run amok and do as it wishes in the remote north with regards to enviornment, security, 5G networks/communications and crossing Canadian borders.

Wylie Wednesday: Morneau Addressing Canada's Business Community
The Liberal spin machine is in overdrive again this time on the fiscal and finanical front. What two sided message will be sent that none of which will give any confidence to domestic AND foreign investment? With the election less than a year away, larger and more frequent promises (to be broken) were expected. May be the Liberals truly are out of ideas.
"...Trudeau’s finance chief, Bill Morneau, will unveil a fiscal update Wednesday in Ottawa that provides a shot at redemption after warnings about the country’s fading competitiveness. It will likely include incentives for capital investment but not an across-the-board reduction in corporate taxes.
The government has frustrated some business leaders with an agenda heavily focused on social issues and riled economists by running unnecessary deficits. Morneau’s last federal budget -- which punted infrastructure investments in favor of new program spending -- landed in February without a mention of U.S. tax reform despite calls to keep pace..."
