00:00:00.000 well I don't know about you but to me this looks like the face of a man who
00:00:10.440 knows the gig is up the time on the clock has run down to zero and it's not
00:00:14.340 just me saying that it's not just conservative MPs saying that either it's
00:00:18.240 his own people his own kin the Laurentian elites the same elites that
00:00:22.320 staff the government and run our major corporations like rats on a sinking ship
00:00:26.440 getting while the getting is good the entire board of the Pierre Trudeau
00:00:30.220 Foundation including the CEO abruptly resigned on Tuesday morning crushed
00:00:34.660 under the weight of the Prime Minister's incompetence and ethical failures another
00:00:38.920 Canadian charity can thank our Prime Minister for their demise and let's
00:00:42.940 just clear this up at the top the Trudeau Foundation states that the reason
00:00:46.780 for the board collapse is because of politicization of the Trudeau
00:00:50.740 Foundation it's not the politicization of the charity although appointing David
00:00:54.340 Johnson a special rapporteur a member of the Trudeau Foundation and appointing
00:00:58.240 Morris Rosenberg the former CEO of the foundation to clear the government of
00:01:02.020 any wrongdoing in the 21 federal election probably doesn't help a
00:01:05.080 politicization it's not that it's that they are directly implicated in the worst
00:01:09.160 political scandal in Canadian history stick around for the ratio of the week
00:01:12.880 prize and a video that the legacy media really don't want you to see as always
00:01:17.220 drop a like in the video help us out by subscribing to the Trudeau YouTube
00:01:19.960 channel and the common question for the episode is this is this the scandal to
00:01:24.700 bring Trudeau down let me know and let's get into it well on Tuesday morning
00:01:29.200 Canadians woke up to the news that the Trudeau Foundation the charity at the
00:01:33.020 heart of the China scandal had completely evaporated overnight turned to dust
00:01:38.080 thanks in large part to the sheer brazenness with which they handle
00:01:41.740 Chinese Communist backed donations now when an effort to be as vague as
00:01:46.000 possible the charity announced that the mass exodus of the board and CEO of the
00:01:50.080 Trudeau Foundation was due to the politicization of the charity makes one
00:01:54.520 laugh when you realize that the Prime Minister himself had been personally
00:01:58.760 appointing Trudeau Foundation members to investigate the government talk about
00:02:03.400 politicization well doing what Justin Trudeau does best when he's backed into a
00:02:07.120 corner he lashed out and attacked the Conservatives that's right it's the
00:02:11.380 Conservatives fault for the Trudeau Foundation accepting Communist money
00:02:14.740 and then the Prime Minister appointing Trudeau Foundation members to
00:02:18.200 investigate the government makes sense those people who are trying to get
00:02:27.520 short-term political gain by increasing polarization and partisanship in this
00:02:33.520 country by launching completely unfounded and ungrounded attacks against
00:02:40.500 charities or foundations must not succeed Canada is a place where we support good works of all
00:02:54.580 different types and we need to continue to do that I am I have no doubt that the Trudeau
00:03:04.560 Foundation like foundations and charities that conservative politicians have attacked in the
00:03:11.020 past will continue to do the excellent work that it will do but as I've said many times it's a
00:03:19.300 foundation in my father's name that I have no direct or indirect connection with it's tough to
00:03:24.740 imagine that someone could be that arrogant and that smug when answering a good faith question about
00:03:30.240 Justin Trudeau's continued appointments of Trudeau Foundation members to investigate Chinese interference
00:03:36.420 in the government also what does he mean when he says that those people launching unfounded and
00:03:41.400 ungrounded attacks against charities must not succeed he does know that this journalism is coming from
00:03:46.680 global news in the Globe and Mail right but speaking of the Globe and Mail take a look at the details now being
00:03:52.240 released about that famous $200,000 donation allegedly from Chinese billionaire Jiang Bin to the Trudeau
00:03:59.620 Foundation who could have guessed that money came directly from the coffers of the Chinese Communist Party
00:04:06.940 one source familiar with the matter said the China Cultural Industry Association a state-backed group in
00:04:12.920 Beijing that aims to build the soft power of Chinese culture globally contacted the Trudeau Foundation at the
00:04:18.480 outset to dictate what name and address should be put on the tax receipt for the gift officials with
00:04:23.460 the Association asked the Trudeau Foundation to refrain from using the name of Mr. Zhang and fellow
00:04:29.080 billionaire Neo-Gen Shang the men whom the foundation publicly identified as the donors instead the
00:04:35.660 officials asked the foundation to attribute the donation to Millennium Golden Eagle International's
00:04:41.200 Canadian subsidiary and they asked that the tax receipt be linked to an address in Hong Kong rather than the
00:04:46.920 company's Canadian address which is a large house with a pool and basketball court in the Montreal
00:04:51.780 suburb of Dorval the agreement with the two Chinese businessmen who initially took credit for the
00:04:56.880 donation was signed by Alexandre Trudeau brother of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau so take that in the
00:05:04.740 agreement to hide the true source of the donation to the Trudeau Foundation was signed by the Prime
00:05:10.860 Minister's brother for whatever reason these two Chinese billionaires who have clear links to the
00:05:16.160 Communist Party just didn't want their names to be on the donation they wanted it to be under Millennium
00:05:21.800 Golden Eagle but take it from the Prime Minister's own mouth ladies and gentlemen as he says he has no
00:05:27.620 indirect influence over the charity despite the fact that his own brother co-signed a plan to hide the
00:05:33.540 source of Communist-backed donations to the Trudeau Foundation by the way remember when the foundation said
00:05:39.380 they would be reimbursing the Chinese billionaires for their donations to the Trudeau Foundation hasn't happened yet
00:05:44.840 not for a lack of trying it's because they can't find the true source of the donation go figure
00:05:51.600 hilariously there's even footage of Justin Trudeau meeting one of those Chinese billionaires who helped
00:05:56.300 hatch the plot to hide the true source of the donation to the Trudeau Foundation look at how happy
00:06:01.460 they are to see each other now in response to all of this Pierre Polyev wrote a letter to David Johnson
00:06:06.680 the special rapporteur and sitting member still of the Trudeau Foundation whose job it is to
00:06:13.220 investigate Chinese election interference one simple question dear rapporteur he writes explain
00:06:20.180 this how will you investigate Beijing's donations to the Trudeau Foundation when you were part of the
00:06:25.940 Trudeau Foundation awaiting your answer Trudeau's lashing out Trudeau's attacks against the conservatives
00:06:31.400 they didn't stop after that first video clip he was then forced the next day to defend David
00:06:36.740 Johnson's appointment as special rapporteur David Johnston is one of the most appropriate and he's
00:06:48.120 he's a man of incredible integrity his ability to look into the question of foreign interference in our
00:06:54.400 political systems remains something that is extremely important to do and extremely important to take
00:07:00.440 seriously now notice the change in body language and tone the arrogant wind has been taken out of
00:07:06.080 Justin Trudeau's sales he can only half-heartedly defend David Johnston's appointment and then of
00:07:11.760 course the obligatory attack on conservatives and I will highlight as well that the snarkiness with
00:07:20.640 which the leader of the official opposition is approaching these serious issues doesn't do him
00:07:26.120 any credit and it doesn't do credit to the kinds of serious discussions need to be had around foreign
00:07:30.760 interference and the prime minister wasn't feeling any love from Canadians in the comment section of that
00:07:35.520 video Justin Trudeau in other words after being PM for eight years I still can't recognize an obvious
00:07:41.040 conflict of interest I don't get that someone can be a super person and qualified for a job but
00:07:46.300 ineligible for a position because of a conflict of interest look who's snarky and utterly contemptuous
00:07:51.200 of the Canadian people just imagine defending this corruption Johnson himself should distance himself
00:07:56.660 as far as possible over this it speaks to bad judgment that he is still around a planned agenda
00:08:02.200 to get the boy off the hook communism 101 accuse your enemy of that which you are doing yourself
00:08:08.600 in order to create confusion now just to cover his bases if Justin Trudeau finds that this scandal
00:08:14.040 ends up on the desk of the ethics commissioner not to worry Trudeau tapped the sister-in-law of 0.68
00:08:19.300 Dominic LeBlanc the minister of intergovernmental affairs to be the acting ethics commissioner even for
00:08:25.520 Trudeau that is a stunning level of contempt for the Canadian people to tap your own cabinet minister's
00:08:31.720 sister-in-law a family member to be the new ethics commissioner to clear Justin Trudeau of course
00:08:37.140 of any wrongdoing all right here we go the winner of the ratio of the week prize this week is Francois
00:08:42.100 Philippe Champagne for this horrendous take on Twitter check it out for the first time ever a woman a person 1.00

00:08:55.740 this great Canadian accomplishment by reducing Canadians to just another box to tick just another 0.85
00:09:01.440 underprivileged box to tick to show we're advancing on diversity and equity rightfully so Champagne got
00:09:08.180 brutally ratioed for this horrendous take 2460 replies to only 850 likes the great gad sad writes
00:09:16.460 I hope that the astronauts will include an air acknowledgement akin to the land acknowledgements
00:09:20.400 that we have in Canada these astronauts are not the first beings in space they are unceded air
00:09:25.460 space colonialists Jody Wilson-Raybould of all people put a facepalm emoji under Champagne's tweet

00:09:41.380 the legacy media really don't want you to see yesterday a group of high school students organized a
00:09:46.720 protest outside of York Mills Collegiate Institute where a drag queen was dancing in front of students
00:09:52.800 for a international day of pink assembly despite what the media and our woke government tries to tell
00:09:58.600 us not everyone is in favor of radical gender ideology in fact when one counter protester waving
00:10:05.360 a transgender flag basically hijacked the pedestal being used by the protest organizers a student ripped
00:10:12.300 the transgender flag out of that protesters hands as the crowd of students erupted in cheers
