Two sources told The Globe on Sunday that the PMO has been going around the Finance Department to consult private-sector economists on what levels of government spending and deficit are tolerable to credit rating agencies.
The Globe and Mail did not identify the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly about Mr. Trudeau’s plans for a cabinet remake that could lead to the departure of Mr. Morneau. The Ethics Commissioner is now investigating Mr. Morneau and Mr. Trudeau over whether they breached the Conflict of Interest Act. The probes stem from a now-cancelled contribution agreement of $543.5-million with the charity that has been the subject of much angst this summer for the Liberal government.
“That was the key pivotal moment for the Liberals when they started to staunch the bleeding of support,” Mr. Nanos said.Mr. Trudeau told the House of Commons finance committee on July 30 that WE Charity got “no preferential treatment” and he “pushed back” when he heard of the idea of the charity administering the program because he wanted to make sure the public service was ready to fully justify the choice.
WE Charity has said that since 2016, the Prime Minister’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, has been paid about $312,000 in speaking fees and his brother, Alexandre Trudeau, received about $40,000. Ms. Grégoire Trudeau was paid $1,400 for one appearance, at an event in 2012.
Medal of honour for enduring a minivan-tuition thief's witch hunt
If this is true, if there is a rift over deficit, CPC and CDN MSM will be torn. Who will they support? Trudeau for arguing with finance minister. Or Morneau. Who would they boot to the curb. Quite a predicament. Support Trudeau. Support Morneau. What will PigeonPierre say.
Oh, the deflect,distract and deflect tactic again
kinsellawarren sunlorrie brianlilley CBCNews DonMartinCTV MercedesGlobal Bad move on JT part if he cans him... this isnt a weak Puglaas or janephilpott ... Bill_Morneau knows where all the bodies are buried to put it figurative. TrudeauResignNOW
I wonder who is more qualified and educated? Certainly isnt JT.
charlesadler If he and Justaint have a future in government Canada has no future period.
charlesadler The Finance Minister will be ok. Morneau gets $135k per MONTH from his family business. His foray into politics was way more about business than idealism. Way more about name legacy than it was patriotism. He should have been a Conservative, except... he ran in downtown TO.
We all know what Morneau's future is.. take the wrap for Trudeau!!
Everyone that had overstepped and did not follow the ethic rules with the WE project should be fired. With two previous ethics violations and soon a third. The Liberal's need to clean up, starting from the top!.
Queensbury Rules, nous espérons. Bill will get thumped/humiliated. Trudeau looks (& sounds) like he's ready to double-down on Gerald's (and even Naomi's) manifesto. His handlers know that the clock is ticking...and his shelf-life (outside of urban/suburban Toronto) is finite.
Trial balloons and leaks from unnamed sources only mean Morneau is history. Carney will step in and then Jr will apologize and tell Canadians that we need to do better. Better for Canada would be to rid the land totally of Liberal sleaze. It's time.
Wow! Telford is earning her husband's 84 million! Nice try but Canadians are not buying your bullshit! TrudeauCorruption TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauMustGo TrudeauResignNOW
From the article, it seems both families received some benefit from the charity although usually people give to charities but then my thinking may be outdated. Who will take the fall? - flash-in-the-pants or - prudent finance. From previous incidents, El Beardo is king. ....
Her future? TrudeauCrimeMinister
Trudeaus entire government is built on the exploitation of progressive ideals in order to emotionally and psychologically manipulate Canadians No easier group to do that with than those living in fear of environmental disaster and he will toss anyone under the bus to save his ass
Because apparently Media & OPPOSITION speculation has created an internal Crisis... Kochsponsored fever dreams don't actually matter a hill of beans. A lot of Unmamed Internal sources again & we know what that's worth. Reality is that The Opposition & MSM have only speculation
