I often wonder how any of us would really look under the microscope. Sure, Trudeau broke the rules. Morneau broke the rules, and probably should go. He's too naive for politics. In the process, we've destroyed a Canadian charity with very low overhead that is a big deal to many students.

We haven't destroyed anything, Trudeau and Morneau put WE under the microscope with their actions.  Over a million USD spent on US political consultants in the past year is low overhead? $644,000 to a single firm over a three year period

In terms of percentages for their charitable operations, all the figures I've seen show them doing really well.

Like I said, we've lost the plot.

And btw, this didn't start with Morneau and Trudeau:

Canadaland may indeed have some kind of vendetta against WE but that doesn’t explain the scrutiny now being shown by MSM. That is all down to Trudeau and Morneau. How many Canadians  follow Canadaland or even know what it is.

anti-PM Trudeau, anti-Liberal types have no problem with this described "business model" - of course not!

you're confusing presumptive reasoned retaliatory vengeance (ie. vendetta) with business practices... with the aforementioned "business model"

don't hesitate to actually state what you understand/interpret as PM Trudeau's "down to" - sure you can!  ;D

"MSM" scrutiny pushed by the SUN/LilleyPad - that kind of yellow journalism - that kind?

The claim that WE was working with Republican media consultants actually traces to IRS filings:
Over a million USD spent on US political consultants in the past year is low overhead? $644,000 to a single firm over a three year period

wouldn't the appropriate reference be to, 'U.S. media consultants that worked on a Republican politicians campaign'? Notwithstanding this reflects upon the distinctly separate U.S. entity... one competing with other U.S. charities? I guess hiding in IRS plain sight is a real find, hey!  ;D

The document from WE's private investigator was posted on Twitter, and specifically references Brown's kids.  Are you really trying to suggest that all this was just fabricated by Canadaland?

proper wording would associate to a 'background' investigation performed by a contracted security investigations company; one contracted by a legal firm/lawyer specializing in defamation lawsuits. By the by, what twitter account posting are you referring to?

1. you stated: "The Kielbergers apparently had a private investigator looking into Jessie Brown's (Canadaland) wife and kids."
 

2. do better/be better!
1. You are right, this isn't an accurate framing of what happened.
2. ok

Why would an investigator be looking into a reporter’s wife and kids in this type of lawsuit?

Anyone...?

Anyone.....?

You mean legitimately ?  Who knows ?  Maybe to find a counter-example of conflict of interest or something to leak to the press ?

.......

I want to say that this 'scandal' is not, for me, a case of individuals seeking out personal gain in return for favours ( as I suspect is happening with the businesses owned by the American president's family ) but rather business-as-usual laziness and lack of seriousness with Canadian resources.

This is a hilarious thread. I did not know just how far Waldo could insert his head up Justin's patootie. That has to hurt.
