The secret to success in Canadian business? Befriending a Liberal cabinet minister

a deal to administer a multimillion-dollar student grant program during a global emergency. But if you just don’t have the time or energy to nurture these relationships, you can speed up the process by looking for Liberal connections within your own family.

Well, here’s the best part. If the public heat garnered by your shady business partnership gets too hot, the worst that will happen is that your contract will get cancelled . Do not be intimidated by stern language from Canada’s Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, who may write that “there is simply no excuse for contracting with a friend’s company,” and who could go on to list the specific sections of the act violated by the real or apparent conflict of interest. In practice, these words and findings mean nothing.

In business, it’s all about who you know. The best people to know in Canada are sitting around the cabinet table.

Careful. With headlines like that you might not get your hundred grand a week.

there is a dung heap full of business partners.

Shes a Liberal, what else can you expect?

PM’s mom did alright as well, 1/4 million isn’t to bad

We are still waiting to see which friends benefited from the Arivescam APP.

Or getting a BigGovernment bailout of your industry.

Amanda Alvaro knows the secret to success in business with the liberal government

Is she 1 of the mps who got help from china

I wonder when the Globe and Mail became the National Enquirer.

RossMcleanSec Shocking the depths to which this nation has plunged. Trudeau has destroyed Canada.

Resign or go to jail.

Access to lots of loot - that's why they are there -did you think it was Canadian patriotism - sorry to disillusion you but such things are for the little people!

FailedBiasedMedia

Again look into fordnation

I think amandaalvaro has an awful lot to answer for here as well. The amount of money is peanuts too. But how could she not know this would end up being scandalising. Hopefully CBCNews & PnPCBC now keep her off of the pundit list. 👎🇨🇦

How is she still employed? Liberals and ethics just don’t go to together

civilwar

She should lose her job!

Criminals

That seems right. How much do newspapers get?

Amanda Alvaro knew she was getting a sweetheart deal. Her bleached teeth and hair should be wiped off the Canadian political landscape.

Apologizing is NOT good enough! Ng must resign!!

You can also make big donations to the Ontario Conservative Party. That seems to work. They should all resign.

Bullshit. PoilievrePropaganda

It's never been much of a secret, really.

Now let’s do Doug and his cronies 🤦🏼‍♂️

There’s a word for collusion between business and government. Not to forget the concept of “conflict of interest.”

Don't forget, huge donation above or under board, or hiring their spouse or family and pay them enormous amount of money for doing nothing.

Zero accountability for liberals

Seems like a common practice for this liberal government. Starting with there leader ask forgiveness for fucking up rather than asking permission.

Looking back to the Harper govt awful record of scandals and ethics violations, you should change your lead in to 'Befriending a govt minister'. Be balanced, please.

Now do Doug Ford's friends

have ya talked to doug ford about his developer buddies?

100%True ask the Westons and Baylis pharmaceuticals and many others

I'm pretty sick of this Liberal BS. Lots of Liberal supporters like to refer to Pierre as PeePee. You are discussing Canadians.

Her friend is very cute, worth $22,000 I'd say.

Mps are small dollars. Premiers is where the easy money is.

RobertFife So true. I worked for a parliamentary secretary, and the last thing I would have ever done is ask for favors. These liberal members are disgusting and also have many hangers on, just waiting to get favors.

Get yourself one of those juicy ArriveScam contracts.

RobertFife Canada is a pay-to-play big govt, big buddy lobby, regulations based monopolistic economy. Small and medium businesses can go fiddle.

RobertFife Shameful, she knows better

firemaryNG

Corrupt government. It pays

Justinflation and China sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g

You got that right ✅️..the rest go on bids&tenders...

Doug Ford. Greenbelt

Taking c.c p bribes

I wish I had a friend that was or is a cabinet minister. She should be fired, but then Trudeau did the same, and nothing happened to him

Liberal party = Corruption

Good one!!

Resign .

Garbage from The Globe and Mail.

Should resign Now.. lol you don't know what's right or wrong maybe jail time will refresh your memory

It’s disgraceful

Careful G&m people might think you might start reporting accurate

Scandals corruption zero ethics complete overreach .. liberals score top grades

Or a Conservative whom have a similar record

Being a Buddy of fordnation

I can only imagine the amount of scandalous things we aren’t aware of.

Unbelievable she wasn't forced to resign, who does this government think they are?

So let me get this straight... If any of us serfs do something wrong, all we have to do is say 'oops sorry' and all is forgiven? Or is this only for Liberals in government?

RobertFife A good friend specifically told me 15 years ago, “if the JT gets elected our company will explode.” Fast forward…He’s now a multimillionaire and his company has over 400 employees. SadButTrueStory FriendsWithBenefits

Liberals are criminals!!

DanAlbas Resign only honourable thing todo

This is a rightwing lie. is truly fakenews CdnMediaFailed

Jail her.

Knee pads or vibrators.. baby!

Correct😫😳

Sigh, ANY cabinet minister, on either the provincial or federal level. Its just how capitalism works.

She did it twice not just once. Both in 2019 ans again in 2020. Liberal supporters are ok with opps sorry?

RealAndyLeeShow TrudeauMustGo is anyone actually surprised The cost of moral justification is how much?

Why haven't the Cats signed anyone? It's like a black hole there.

It’s partly true, being a friend of a cabinet minister of the liberal government guarantee to bring success! Being a liberal Cabot minister in the Trudeau government, guarantees your Financial success!

True corruption is spelled with a big L

Punch line was great. 'In business, it’s all about who you know. The best people to know in Canada are sitting around the cabinet table.'

Canada is finished and the MSM were a huge part in allowing it to happen. The people here condemning The Globe are part of the reason Canada has collapsed as a nation.

RealAndyLeeShow The secret to becoming a Liberal cabinet minister? Befriend a CBC pundit.

Yup!

All part of the LiberalHypocrisy plan to steal tax funds from citizens

Looks like the three amigas are having a blast......

She should be fired and deported.

That's a leap considering the contract value was only $16k dollars.

Nailed it. Great job Robyn!

RealAndyLeeShow Amazing how his tune changed with power!

RealAndyLeeShow This is how Canada 🇨🇦 mints it’s oligarchs.

RealAndyLeeShow She looks trustworthy....not.

DanAlbas She should resign.

The real secret to success in Canadian business? Be as corrupt a thief as a Liberal cabinet minister

DanAlbas Secret to success? Liberal corruption? That’s not success. That’s fraudulent theft of taxpayers money

DanAlbas I believe I would befriend an Ontario CONservative MPP if I was interested in grifting money. Yet I guess that’s ok.

And then when you're caught, just go into hiding. mary_ng

Or maybe be a friend of the Ontario premier and buy some protected Greenbelt land on a hunch.

is the globe allowed to print these kind of articles anymore? I bet they fire the reporter asap

The Liberal party of corruption

Especially a corrupt one. Oh wait, thats all of them.

GlobeDebate Entitled greed..

or a Harper, or a Chretien, or a Mulroney, or . . . a Trudeau, Cabinetinsyer. It's called a, ''Corporate Police State'. You are the Product.

This issue is a political football. When the Cons are in, they do it, and Liberals call it out. When the Libs are in, they do it, and the Conservatives call it out. They pretend to care, but neither take any legislative action to end the corruption. They like it this way.

The secret to inefficient, mismanaged govt services? Appoint a Liberal cabinet minister!

That point might have more impact if the paper publishing it wasn't chasing down government $$$...

Or an Ontario premier!

Sounds about right.
