  1. Why are we held responsible but they aren’t? When is somebody going to do something about this? What is it going to take?

    1. just be ‘ racist’ and vote for conservative party. if you care about the direction of this country we need PCs at the fed and provincial level

  2. Let’s say the $200K made 2% interest over the time the Foundation had the money. I believe it was accepted in 2016? Interest earned would be ~ $30K over that time period. Is the foundation going to return the $30K also, or give it to a non-profit organization? You know, optics. Also, is not returning the money an addition of guilt? What about the other $800K? I thought the $200K was part of a $1M donation, of which $750K went to fund Pierre Trudeau bursaries @ McGill University, & $50K went to construct a statue of said former PM…. which doesn’t exist! Crooked Vultures.

  3. Why was it not returned immediately upon receipt instead of only after it became public knowledge? It begs the question, is corruption rampant within the ranks of the ruling party(s) of Canada? I certainly hope not for the welfare of the country and its citizens!

    1. I don’t want to minimize this, but if you don’t think all politicians are bought and paid for you are kidding yourself.

  4. Will his bank account be frozen & he’ll be charged or that’s only truckers & their “Canadian” supporters???

    1. Do u think they check every donation as it comes in or do u think there is a process to check afterwards?

  5. Last time I checked that’s not how the justice system works. You don’t get to commit a crime and then years later after you have enriched yourself from the proceeds of that crime “pay it back”, and not face consequences.

    1. @ryan radcliffe I don’t think your answer proved the point you wanted to make. It did however prove mine.

    2. @Gigi he didn’t commit a crime because he wasn’t involved with the foundation then lmao
