According to a December, 2016 article from the National Post, foreign donations to the Pierre Trudeau Foundation “began to skyrocket” after Justin Trudeau was first elected prime minister in late 2015.
Among the information exposed is the fact that between 2014 and 2016, donations from non-Canadian sources went from $53 million to $535 million– an increase of one thousand percent.
“Critics say the Trudeau family’s ongoing attachment to the Trudeau Foundation could violate [conflict of interest] rules, since making a donation might help curry favour with the prime minister’s family.”
The prime minister’s family include middle brother Alexandre, board member of the Trudeau Foundation. Alexandre Trudeau, son of the late Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau, is a documentary filmmaker and freelance journalist based in Montreal. His 2016 book “Barbarian Lost, Travels In The New China,” speaks of his personal admiration for the communist nation, which began when he and older brother Justin travelled with father Pierre Trudeau to China as teenagers.
Middle brother has been quoted as stating that “I could be very harsh, and you could find stories that are disgusting[about China], but in a way I’m harsher on Canada.”
CAP believe him. The entire Trudeau family at one time or another has venerated communist China while extolling the political virtues of Chairman Mao Tse Tung, founder of China’s “Silent Revolution” which began in the 1960’s.
