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?
Oh no! Is the Laurentian elite grift crumbling?
