They’ll investigate themselves and find no wrong doing.
Although no one party can claim to be the most corrupt. The liberals seem to be out in front.
Why not use your government position to corruptly enrich your friends and family when the last decade has demonstrated that there will literally never be any consequences for it?
Wonder when the job posting will be up for a new ethics commissioner 🤔
This is what people predicted would happen with the Liberals when the Major Projects Office was announced. There is going to be so much corruption. Remember this party is filled with the same people who still have not been held to account over the Green Slush Fund.
Political connections influencing federal loans requires thorough investigation. The integrity of public fund allocation must be protected.
This is going to sully the entire operation.
*At hearings in Ottawa on Wednesday, the head of the Canada Infrastructure Bank refused to state the interest rate on the $206-million loan to a wind farm project that’s being managed by a company owned by the family members of three former Liberal MPs and a former Nova Scotia Liberal Party leader.*
*The wind farm is also getting $25 million from Natural Resources Canada, which, according to the department, takes the form of “a conditionally repayable contribution agreement where funding would be repayable based on profits generated from the project within the first five years of operation.*
*And it has been approved for the federal Clean Technology Tax Credit, which is worth up to $122.5 million.*
*Roswall Development, whose subsidiary Renewall will be selling the electricity direct to consumers under the province’s Renewable to Retail Program, lists as its directors:*
* *Chair Michel Samson, Cape Breton-Richmond MLA until 2017 and former interim leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party*
* *Edgar Samson, the owner of Premium Seafoods and brother of Darrel Samson, who was Liberal MP for Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook until 2025*
* *Mitchell Brison, Brison Developments owner/founder and brother of Scott Brison, who served as president of the Treasury Board and Liberal MP for Kings-Hants until 2018*
* *President Dan Roscoe, founder of Renewall and son-in-law of David Dingwall, who served as Liberal MP for Cape Breton-East Richmond until 1997 and who held federal cabinet positions*
* *David Howell, chief financial officer for Brison Developments*
* *Scott Rodgers and Ramsey Ali of Slate Asset Management*
*Michel Samson said the listed directors are the company’s owners.*
Nothing to see here move along
They will investigate themselves and find they mostly did nothing visibly wrong to the public, then bill the taxpayers for double overtime and consulting fees
I don’t get Reddit.
Yesterday we were praising Liberals/Carney
today, We hate them?
Same liberal circus just a different carney
So much corruption and waste when so many people are suffering.
[Canada Infrastructure Bank chief executive officer Ehren Cory responded, “ Mr. Chair, the loan benefits Nova Scotians because it creates renewable energy in the province and consumer choice to buy clean power. That is who the loan benefits. To be very clear, we are extremely transparent with our owners, who are all of you, with all of our money.”]
When asked about details of the $200+ million loan
According to Liberals, corruption is ok because it „benefits Canadians/NS and eco-green. Keep the money rolling in
Well, „nice“ green scheme, after that „2 guys in a cottage basement“ scheme, I was wondering what is the next grift that would free up the Canadian taxpayer of another few tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Our chief WallStreet banker was quite clear on the green schemes, when he told the reporter in a moment of sincerity that „There is money to be made!“
He was probably thinking about his wife, that is busy at this Liberal consulting boutique outfit named Eurasia Group, where also the infamous Gerald Butts is „working“, redirecting public funds to private pockets.
What is it, 62 billion dollars more federal debt under Carney?
The reality is we will never know how many billions end up in Carney’s hands or his wife, or Freeland, or his Gerald Butts or the other elite Liberals, Carney is expert in Bermuda style tax evasion after all.
Elbows up, I guess!
