Politicization of the foundation? Are they fricking kidding? It's not supposed to be politicized. But it became a political tool as soon as Trudeau became PM entirely as a result of Trudeau dragging and scapegoating foundation members within the very foundation that has his name in the mud and where it apparently became a slush fund for party favours.

The irony is there were plenty of stories back in 2016 about the 1 million donation and caused rifts within the foundation at the time. Of course back then it completely sputtered out and brushed under the carpet as any Liberal scandal does.

Suddenly a few weeks ago, this very same 1 million dollar donation suddenly becomes a hot potato

So they suddenly gave back a donation that was vehemently defended back in 2016, that they had no obligation to do so a few weeks ago, and now everyone is jumping ship, again with zero obligation or pressure to do so claiming political pressure? What pressure?
