WE also shouldn't have put themselves in such a conflict of interest, given their ties to the Trudeau's and Morneau (his daughter works for WE, remember).  But the brothers were desperate for an influx of cash to keep their struggling charity afloat.  They made their bed and now they get to lay in it.

conflict of interest? Detail it - specifically define what you interpret as 'interest conflict'... I appreciate it will be very hard for your partisanship to distinguish between the actual related conflict rules and the/your perceived appearance of conflict. But hey, give it a try anyway! Now I've read a fair amount on this fake, trumped-up, so-called "scandal" - yours is the only statement that seeks to blame the actual charity itself!  ;D

I'm sure of a Scheer or O'Toole gov did this and a Liberal opposition & the media called them on their shite, you would have eagerly defended WE just as passionately!  ;D

WE Charity doesn't need any defending in this matter - they were simply approached by the public service (ESDC) to provide a statement of interest; one that reflected upon its ability to meet the demands of the projected program. As for a government, as you say, "doing this": a government, any government, relies upon the public service to support its policy intent. Unless you can present information that suggests/implies the public service (ESDC) was lax/negligent/fraudulent in its actions, then a government, any government, would be justified in moving forward on a recommendation received from that public service support base. As has been stated many times over, ESDC determined that WE Charity was the only organization in a position to fulfill the program requirements... so, a government, any government, that presumed to move forward on its policy intent would be a government, any government, that accepted the public service (ESDC) recommendation.
