Butts, the wife of Gerry Butts, former principal secretary to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, was nominated as part of a broader board shakeup at Aphria

Jodi Butts, the wife of Gerry Butts, former principal secretary to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, has been nominated to the board of cannabis company Aphria Inc., according to company filings made public Tuesday in conjunction with the licensed producers’ quarterly financial results.

Aphria board members receive a compensation of $150,000 annually in cash, and deferred share units worth another $150,000 “As we continue to add bench strength to the company, Jodi will bring exceptional experience to the board. Not only as a seasoned executive, but as a lawyer and entrepreneur and particularly when it comes to governance and driving growth within organizations,” said Aphria spokesperson Tamara Macgregor.

Now there’s an argument for sterilization.

Is anyone actually even the slightest bit surprised that the usual bumbaleena far left globalist champagne socialist elitist cabal & pot heads hit the bong together? They are beyond corrupt in their bubble just as their narcissist bedfellow Trudeau and celebrities et al. Liberal

They are the smariest people with their fake smiles.

More than one way to pay off a politician

So the liberals have made it so greenhouses owners are exempt from the carbon tax. Even though greenhouses are one of the worst producers of greenhouse gases in any industry. This has nothing to do with growing pot okay? It’s because of the vegetables. No other farmers get breaks

Yup and it’s one of the biggest footprints around. They grow pot in greenhouses with lights in 24/7. And did you know the libs gave people who run greenhouses carbon tax breaks and

Conflict of interest?!

Once again, we see how all Cdns ~ARE NOT~ “equal. Did JodiButts know abt this “opportunity” B4 any other Cdns? Did she know abt it b/c GeraldButts was privy to INSIDER INFO? Do liberals help each other for PERSONAL GAIN? 👇 HOW do we STOP this form of CORRUPTION?🤔 cdnpoli

Starve your kids for that last snort of coke...sure ..you do that. It’s exactly what libs want you to do...so they live their life of luxury.

OMG! Really!!

Send these 2 to China, fit right in...

Why is everyone shocked? The liberal party has been peddling influence and shady business deals for decades. Justin's liberals are no different
