#PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou is the truth. He always lies. He lied over and over again about PMJT and his family to support his manufactured WE Charity non-scandal. The guy is a proven liar.

I've always felt that Canadaland's vaguely obsessive fascination with WE was over-the-top. It just always felt like it was somehow extremely personal to Brown. This recap (of a show I haven't heard myself) seems to suggest that nothing's changed (at least for the better) on that. https://t.co/D8YT5uLzqm

— Bill Rice🍎 (@2muchfun4me) June 4, 2023
The report is filled with comments like:
"I am satisfied Mr "Trudeau did not give WE Charity preferential treatment."
"Mr Trudeau had no involvement in the ESDC's recommendation That WE administrator the CSSG"
No they don’t understand or care for that matter remember the WE Charity “scandal “ didn’t think twice about destroying a good charity

This is the reporter who likes to act scandalized over anything hinting at trouble for the Liberals. Think 'tempest in a teapot' (see her work on WE charity and GG Payette). When I see that she's the reporter on a story, I question whether it's the big deal she's implying.

The whole thing is ridiculous, and absolutely disingenuous. It was a partisan attack on a non-partisan organization with no direct ties to the Prime Minister, aside from them using his father's name.

2 charities badly damaged for political stunts by the CPC/Reformicons.
One of the most shameful examples of opportunistic behaviour. And it stuck for some. Conservative supporters will still name We as an example of ethical failure.
— Barry 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦 (@Bgstony) August 2, 2022
I do believe this is one of the biggest media failures in Canada - not ever correcting their eager reporting of fake scandals targeting the Prime Minister - and never bothering to retract or correct anything when they don't amount to anything. We need media reform in Canada, fast
— Hopeful Cynic with MS X (aka Patrick) 🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@0CynicalBastard) August 2, 2022
I had someone the other day try to tell me WE was still a scandal - and I blame the media for allowing that misconception to fester in the public eye. The CPC HATES Trudeau is doing a great job, and constantly flings empty bullshit at him hoping for anger.
— Hopeful Cynic with MS X (aka Patrick) 🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@0CynicalBastard) August 2, 2022
Just a reminder, WE Charity, which was effectively killed dead in Canada? That scandal was found to NOT be a scandal. The CPC killed a CHILDREN'S CHARITY to try to hurt the Prime Minister of Canada. Why doesn't the media report fake scandals were fake before they drop coverage?
— Hopeful Cynic with MS X (aka Patrick) 🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@0CynicalBastard) August 2, 2022
Poilievre has destroyed the WE charity, the Trudeau foundation, David Johnston’s reputation, Justin Trudeau’s reputation... and he’s not done.

The next faux scandal and nothingburger is right in the corner, for sure.
3. It has been one op after another, trying to topple this government. From fake manufactured “scandals” like #WECharity, to Benghazi style hit jobs, to #FluTruxKlan. #CdnmediaFailed. 🇨🇦’s MSM largely acts as a supine accomplice to these ops. #cdnmedia is failing democracy.

For not the first time I find myself wondering what the hell is going on at the CBC. Journalistic ethics matter. Journalists are not supposed to be the story. A public broadcaster, not beholding to political or commercial interests, is critical to the functioning of a democracy.
